Top 5 paysafecard Bingo Sites

What is a Paysafecard?

Paysafecard is not really a card at all but a prepaid voucher that can be bought in many UK shops, garages and other retail outlets. Look for the Paypoint logo to find an outlet that sells Paysafecard vouchers.

How Paysafecard works

By visiting the Paysafecard website you can quickly and effortlessly find an outlet near your home where you can buy a Paysafecard voucher. There are more than 350,000 places in the UK where you can buy them. They are available in values of £10, £25, £50 and £75. Vouchers can also be bought using a mobile phone, but a charge of £2 will be taken from the vouchers value. For example, say you wanted to purchase £25, the actual voucher you received would be £23.

What happens once you’ve bought your voucher and want to make a deposit at a Paysafecard bingo site?

When you’re ready to play bingo and make a deposit using Paysafecard bingo sites have made the process really easy.

• Log into your bingo account and pay a visit to the cashier or banking page.
• Simply click on “Add a payment method” and choose the Paysafecard option. You only need to do this once, unless you change or want to add another payment method.
• Choose the amount of your voucher and click to make a deposit.
• Input the 16 digit PIN code, agree to the terms (after reading them of course), and finally click the “Pay Now” button.
• The vouchers value will be added to your account, as well as any bonuses applicable.

The pros and cons of Paysafecard

Paysafecard has a number of advantages when compared with other payment methods such as PayPal, because no card or bank details are involved at any stage of the process. You can also buy a specific value voucher which is a way of setting your own deposit and play limits. If you want to carry on playing because you feel you’ve hit a winning streak you’ll need to take yourself away from the Paysafecard bingo site and buy another voucher.

Another important benefit is that as long as nobody has access to the voucher, and its unique PIN code, it is completely secure. For the first year there are no charges for using it.

This personal limit benefit however, can also been seen as one of the biggest drawbacks. Use up all your money playing bingo and you’ll have to finish playing until you can get to a participating shop and top up.

The other disadvantage worth mentioning is that unlike a card or e-wallet you can’t use them to make withdrawals from your bingo account. They are merely a method of payment. Register Paysafecard as your preferred payment method and you’ll need to register an alternative method to withdraw your winnings.

Paysafecard takes over where Ukash left off

Ukash has been a very popular method of payment but in April 2015, it was taken under the umbrella of Skrill Group. As of August 2015, distribution of Ukash vouchers stopped and Paysafecard was fiercely marketed as its replacement. The only real difference is that Ukash vouchers could have a value of as much as £500, while the maximum value for Paysafecard is only £100.

Topping up with Ukash was a problem as they weren’t all that popular. However, this isn’t an issue with Paysafecard. Wherever you might be in the UK, unless you’re at the top of a mountain playing bingo, you’ll have no problem finding a retailer that offers them.

There are a number of recently launched online bingo sites that accepted Ukash as a payment method and these will now offer Paysafecard as an alternative. We’ll be looking at some of the best bingo sites Paysafecard can be used at for your convenience on another page.

Why bingo players choose Paysafecard for payments

There are a few different reasons for bingo players using Paysafecard for payments but the biggest is a desire to keep personal details secret. Another reason is there is no need to provide bank details in order to play a game of bingo.

You can access your Paysafecard account through their mobile app so you can keep a check on your balance. And finally there is no need for anyone else to know what you’re spending your money on.
