Paysafecard is one of the most popular payment methods for players at online gambling sites, and these days there are plenty of bookies that accept it, thanks to its widespread popularity and the ease with which it can be used.<\/p>\n

In this article, we\u2019re going to look at how to use Paysafecard, and cover the basics on adding and receiving funds.<\/p>\n

Gambling Sites That Accept Paysafecard<\/h2>\n

TBD<\/p>\n

What is Paysafecard?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"PaysafecardPaysafecard is a popular prepaid method of payment, and with over 3,500 websites currently accepting it – including both betting sites and non-betting sites- it\u2019s become a favourite of many.<\/p>\n

In its most simple form, Paysafecard is nothing more than a pre-paid voucher like Ukash. You just head to a local store that offers Paysafecard top-ups, tell the staff member how much you wish to credit to your card, then make the payment.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be given a printed receipt which has a 16-digit value printed on it; this code is extremely important as it\u2019s the way in which you will exchange the voucher for funds online. Enter this code when requested, and the betting site will credit your account instantly.<\/p>\n

One thing to point out is that many people think that the Paysafecard is a physical card; this is an easy mistake to make given the name of the service, but remember, all you\u2019ll get is a small receipt, so it\u2019s vitally important not to lose this. Without the receipt you\u2019ll have virtually no chance of recovering your funds.<\/p>\n

How to Buy a Paysafecard Voucher<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"PaysafecardAs detailed above, pretty much the only thing you need to do in order to use Paysafecard is purchase a voucher; there are, however, a couple of things to watch out for.<\/p>\n

First of all, you can only pay for a Paysafecard voucher in cash, so you can\u2019t use your card at the counter even if they accept it for other purchases. The second thing to remember is that the 16-digit code can (understandably) only be used once.<\/p>\n

This means that if you buy a voucher for \u00a350, for example, and decide to spend \u00a310 at one betting site and \u00a340 at another, neither deposit will work. You\u2019ll need to purchase separate vouchers for each site. This is because when you make a deposit, you must input the amount of the voucher as well as the 16-digit code.<\/p>\n

Hint: If you head to the official Paysafecard website you can view a sortable list of most of the retailers that operate the Paysafecard scheme; this is ideal, as not only does it allow you to view the best places to buy the vouchers, but it also lets you take a look at the merchants currently accepting the payment method at the same time.<\/p>\n

How to Spend a Paysafecard Voucher?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve got your 16-digit code, it\u2019s simply a case of heading to the online betting site you want to deposit at (or any site you wish to use the code at for that matter), and heading to the cashier section.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll now be able to select a payment method, and of course you\u2019ll want to select \u2018Paysafecard\u2019, after which you\u2019ll be taken to a new screen where you can input the 16-digit code, along with the amount of the voucher. Click the \u2018Continue\u2019 button (this may say something slightly different like \u2018Confirm Deposit\u2019 depending on where you are betting), and once you\u2019ve pressed it, the site will quickly run your code details against that of the Paysafecard website. As long as you\u2019ve entered the code correctly and everything checks out, you\u2019ll see the funds credited to your account in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s this simplicity that is one of the main reasons why players choose Paysafecard over other payment methods. Of course, another benefit is that you don\u2019t have to deal with banks potentially refusing your transaction \u2013 a common problem at online gambling websites \u2013 although it should be pointed out that there are a few disadvantages too.<\/p>\n

Advantages and Disadvantages of using Paysafecard<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"PaysafecardThere are a number of advantages and disadvantages to consider when using Paysafecard, and we\u2019ll cover both of these in the selection below. None of them are deal breakers, it\u2019s more a question of personal preference; what suits you may not suit somebody else.<\/p>\n

Advantages:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Easy to use: There\u2019s no verification required (unlike some VISA and MasterCards), and there\u2019s no chance of your payment being rejected by the bank either.<\/li>\n
  • Help Limit Gambling: If you\u2019re using a credit or debit card, then unless you\u2019ve set deposit limits up on your account, there\u2019s very little to stop you making multiple transactions \u2013 which is potentially disastrous if you\u2019re on \u2018tilt\u2019 and losing. While Paysafecard also allows you to make unlimited deposits, there exists an obvious physical barrier; you must walk to a shop, buy a new voucher, and then walk home again. Of course, this won\u2019t stop problem gambling completely, but the walk would likely give you the time you need to calm down after a bad losing session, and stop you losing even more.<\/li>\n
  • Secure: So long as you keep your 16-digit number to yourself, there\u2019s no chance of it being used by somebody else, or having fraudulent transactions made on your behalf. This is due to the fact that no money is stored on the voucher aside from the funds you\u2019ve pre-loaded. This essentially prevents your financial details being phished and used by scammers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Disadvantages of Using Paysafecard<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • No Withdrawal Function: The main disadvantage is something we haven\u2019t touched upon yet, and that\u2019s the fact that you can\u2019t use it to withdraw from your online betting accounts. Now, this is obviously slightly problematic, as you of course want to be able to get hold of your winnings. It\u2019s not a huge issue though, as thankfully all online betting websites allow you to withdraw using another payment source; although this does mean that you\u2019ll need to register either a Credit or Debit Card, or an EWallet with the site as well.<\/li>\n
    • Risk of a Lost Voucher: The only other real downside is the fact that you\u2019ve got to physically buy the voucher, which can potentially be lost. This can also cause issues for those who live far away from a shop that offers Paysafecard facilities, or for those who are disabled. In both of these situations, it can be better to simply use an alternative payment method.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Other than the issues listed above, there are very few disadvantages to using Paysafecard. These days the payment method is widely accepted at some of the countries largest chains like One Stop, and even some Post Offices.<\/p>\n

      Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      \"PaysafecardPaysafecard is like marmite, and it will either suit you down to the ground or be a complete pain to get along with. It\u2019s great for situations when you either don\u2019t want to use or don\u2019t have a debit card, although as mentioned above, due to the fact that you can\u2019t withdraw via Paysafecard it can make this a little redundant, anyway.<\/p>\n

      That said, Paysafecard remains one of the easiest and quickest ways to add funds to your online betting accounts, and you\u2019ll find it offered at almost all corner shops and high street stores.<\/p>\n
