Paysafecard

Paysafecard is a prepaid online payment system that utilizes vouchers to make online payments. The prepaid voucher isn’t linked to your credit card, bank account, or any other account. Paysafecard is a popular casino payment method in Europe, and it’s gaining ground in The United States.

Paysafecard

More and more online casinos in New Jersey are accepting Paysafecard as a deposit option, so you should be able to fund your online casino easily and conveniently.

What is Paysafecard?

Paysafecard is a staple in the European and international online betting market as a casino payment method. Gamers love it for its high acceptance rate and ease of use.

Company

Paysafecard was launched in the year 2000 by a group of four friends who fell in love with the idea of transacting with cash on the internet. The company initially launched in Australia and a year later was introduced in Germany.

By 2006, the company had grown its presence in Europe to include Slovakia, Great Britain, Spain, Greece, and Slovenia. Paysafecard reached its 10 millionth transaction in 2007 and is now available in The United States.

How it Works

Paysafecard works a lot like a store gift card or a mobile top-up card. You purchase a voucher at an authorized dealer for the amount that you want to deposit to your online casino account. These vouchers are available in various denominations including $10, $25, $50, $75, and $100 depending on the amount you would like to deposit.

The Paysafecard voucher has a 16-digit code that you enter into your online casino account in the “Cashier” page to load your funds.

Tips on using Paysafecard Vouchers

There are a couple of things that are worth knowing about using Paysafecard to fund your online casino account or pay for your online shopping.

  1. Authentication data

    My Paysafecard is an online portal for your prepaid card payments. You can create a free account and manage your transactions online. Simply load your vouchers to the account and you can make online payments using a username and password. You can also keep track of your payments and view your balance at any time.

  2. Spending

    You don’t have to use the entire amount of your Paysafecard in one go. You only pay the amount of money needed for the transaction. You can buy a higher value voucher than you actually need so that you don’t have to go out to buy more vouchers every time you need to fund your casino account.

  3. Shopping online

    There are endless online shopping options when using your Paysafecard, including entertainment, consumer goods, and online auctions. The list of merchants who support this payment option is growing every year. Paysafecard is free for the first 6 months. After the 6th month, Paysafecard charges a nominal service fee that is deducted from your available balance every month.

Withdrawing at Online Casinos with Paysafecard – Fees and Limits

Unfortunately, Paysafecard is a deposit-only option. You will have to find other ways to withdraw money from your casino account.

Most casinos have multiple withdrawal methods, so you shouldn’t have trouble withdrawing your winnings. If you are using a Paysafecard because you do not have a bank account or credit card, you can apply for a Play+ prepaid card directly from your casino. You can withdraw your funds directly to your prepaid card and later withdraw at the ATM or shop online or at physical stores.

You can also withdraw your funds using your credit/debit card or via bank transfer (ACH). E-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller are also great options.

Why use Paysafecard to play online?

Paysafecard is extremely popular in Europe, and it is easy to see why. There are many reasons to choose this option to fund your online casino account.

Safety and trust

Paysafecard is among the safest ways to pay online. You don’t have to share your financial or personal information with any third parties or use your bank account, credit card, or debit card for any transaction. For people who don’t like to divulge their financial information over the internet, Paysafecard is the perfect solution.

Ease of use

Paysafecard is very easy to use. Everything you need to fund your online account is right there on your card. You don’t have to remember a password (unless you are paying via your Paysafecard online account), open a bank account, or request a bank card.

Speed

Funding your online casino account using Paysafecard is near-instant. You can start playing your favorite games within a minute of completing the transaction. You also don’t have to use all the money on your card at once, meaning you can leave some for later if you want to reduce trips to the card dealer. You can also buy Paysafecard online so you don’t have to leave the house to fund your hobby.

Privacy

People who value their privacy will really appreciate the privacy afforded by Paysafecard. There are no bank statements, credit reports, or any information about your gaming activity. You can also track your transactions on your Paysafecard online account, which is password secured.

Paysafecard Mastercard

Paysafecard Mastercard is a physical card supported by Mastercard that works just like a debit card. You can request a card from your Paysafecard account and it will arrive in 10 working days or less. Simply preload your card with the amount you would like and deposit money to your casino account just like you would with a debit card.

How to Use Paysafecard Vouchers to Play at the Casino

There are three options when using this payment method to fund your casino account. The first is the Paysafecard voucher, which is the focus of this review. Second, you have the My Paysafecard online account, which works a lot like an e-wallet. Lastly, there’s the Paysafecard Mastercard, which is a prepaid card that works just like your debit card for online transactions.

Paysafecard has over 600,000 agents globally, so you are likely to find one near you. Head to the Paysafecard website and enter your location to find your nearest outlet. There are daily deposit limits for My Paysafecard and Paysafecard Mastercard, so pay attention to these to ensure that you set your expectations before proceeding.

Finally, you don’t need to show any ID or share any financial information to purchase Paysafecard vouchers. Simply buy the card with cash over the counter at an authorized dealer.

most

Technically speaking, it is possible to deposit at online casinos not licensed in New Jersey using Paysafecard. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that it may be illegal for U.S. citizens located in the USA to gamble in international casinos. Cross-country gambling in the U.S. is a grey area at best. You also have little recourse if you sign up for a fraudulent casino not licensed in New Jersey and get conned out of your money.
