Paysafecard: prepaid vouchers for casino deposits
Paysafecard is a prepaid payment method. You buy a voucher with a 16-digit PIN at a shop or online, then use that PIN to pay. No bank account or card is linked to the payment, which some players value for privacy and budgeting. The same feature also brings limitations at casinos. This page explains both. The set of methods and limits depend on the operator and your account — check the cashier.
How a voucher deposit works
In the cashier you choose Paysafecard and enter the PIN, or several PINs if the amount exceeds one voucher. The value is deducted from the voucher and credited to your balance. Unused value remains on the voucher. A free myPaysafecard account lets you manage vouchers in one place and is required for some functions in certain countries.
Usually deposit-only
Because a voucher has no owner details attached, most casinos cannot pay winnings back to it. To withdraw, you usually need another method — typically a bank transfer or an e-wallet — and you must verify that method in your own name. Plan the withdrawal route before you deposit, so that a win does not leave you waiting while you set up a new method. The withdrawal guide explains the process.
Budgeting with vouchers
A voucher has a fixed value, so it can work as a natural spending cap: when it is used up, you would have to go and buy another. That only helps if you treat it as a limit. Buying several vouchers at once removes the effect. Setting a deposit limit in your casino account, as described on the limits page, is a more reliable control.
Voucher scams to avoid
A Paysafecard PIN works like cash. Anyone who has the code can spend it. Never share a PIN by phone, chat or email, and be wary of anyone asking for one — including people claiming to be casino support, tax offices or delivery services. Genuine operators only ask you to enter the PIN in their own cashier.

- Whether Paysafecard is offered for your country and currency.
- Fees for voucher deposits, if any, and the voucher's own inactivity fees.
- Whether voucher deposits qualify for bonuses — see bonus terms.
- Which method you will use to withdraw.
