What Paysafecard is

Paysafecard is a prepaid payment voucher. Its website says you can pay online with cash, without a bank account or card. Each voucher has a PIN with a 16-digit code. The brand is part of the Paysafe group.

You can use it in two ways. Unregistered, you only need the 16-digit code. Registered, you sign up for a My paysafecard account and log in. Paysafecard says that unregistered use does not need any personal data, but some shops may ask you to register.

How to deposit with Paysafecard

1. Get a voucher, either from a sales outlet or online.
2. Open the casino cashier and choose Paysafecard as the deposit method.
3. Enter the 16-digit code from your voucher.
4. The amount is taken from the voucher and added to your casino balance.

If your deposit is bigger than the voucher, you may need a second voucher or another method. GamesandCasino.com does not take deposits.

Withdrawals

Deposit and withdrawal support differs from casino to casino. The list above shows which casinos record Paysafecard. Paysafecard is mainly a way to pay, so do not assume you can cash out to it. Read the casino's withdrawal terms first, and expect to need a second method such as a bank transfer, an e-wallet like Neteller or Skrill, or bitcoin.

Fees and limits

Paysafecard's fees and limits depend on the country and currency. The figures below come from its Australian fees and limits page (in Australian dollars) at the time of writing. Figures differ in other countries, so check the page for your own country before you buy.

• Monthly service fee. 5 AUD from the second month, taken from the remaining balance of the PIN. Paysafecard says registering and using the PIN avoids it.
• Refund fee. 7.50 AUD per refund, taken from the amount paid out.
• Currency conversion. A fee applies when the currency is converted (the amount is not listed on that page).
• Per transaction. Up to 200 AUD in combined PIN value.
• Registered accounts. A maximum of 1,000 AUD held in PINs and 6,000 AUD in total PINs used per year.

Casinos also set their own minimum and maximum deposit amounts.

Gamble responsibly

A prepaid voucher caps what you can spend with each PIN, but set a deposit limit before you start too. If gambling is causing problems for you or someone you know, read our problem gambling page.
