What is Paysafecard?
Last updated:
Paysafecard is a prepaid voucher system. You buy a prepaid card (available in set denominations at retail locations or online) that comes with a 16-digit PIN. You enter that PIN in the casino cashier to deposit without using a bank account or card.
How Paysafecard works
Purchase a Paysafecard voucher — in denominations like £10, £25, £50, or £100 — from a supermarket, newsagent, petrol station, or online. The voucher has a 16-digit code on the back. In the casino cashier, select Paysafecard, enter the code, and the value is credited to your balance. Multiple cards can be combined if your deposit exceeds one card’s value.
Limitations of Paysafecard
The main drawback is that Paysafecard is deposit-only — you cannot withdraw casino winnings back to a Paysafecard. When you cash out, you’ll need an alternative withdrawal method like a bank transfer or e-wallet. This makes Paysafecard best suited for players who want to control spending with a fixed amount without linking banking details.
Ben Barber got into the gambling industry through the poker rooms of London in the early 2000s. After building up a solid grounding in casino, sports betting and poker, he made the move to Malta where he spent close to a decade writing for some of the biggest affiliate networks in the region. A few years ago he relocated to Bali, which shifted his focus toward website strategy and affiliate marketing. The casino side never really left, though. He still writes reviews, how-to guides and in-depth pieces on everything from slots and live dealer tables to crypto casinos and sweepstakes sites. His approach is fact-first: help players understand how online gambling actually works before they deposit a cent.
