Prepaid & Vouchers

What a Prepaid Deposit Is

A prepaid deposit converts cash into a code. The player buys the code at a retailer, enters it at the casino cashier, and the value moves without any bank or card details reaching the gambling site. PaysafeCard's own site states the retail half of that in one line: “Find a sales outlet near you and get a PaysafeCard prepaid code.” The category also includes retail gift cards, which work the same way at the point of redemption but are issued under different arrangements. The method list at the top of this page is built from the site's own per-method data, so it carries whichever prepaid methods have a published page of their own at the time of reading, and says plainly when none do. What follows is a description of how the product works and what it costs, rather than a list of places to use it.

Who Issues Them

These are regulated electronic money products and the issuer states its own authorisation. Prepaid Services Company Limited, which issues PaysafeCard, states that it is licensed by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom under the UK Electronic Money Regulations 2011 for the issue of electronic money and financial instruments, with the firm reference number 900021. The same brand is structured differently in the United States, where Paysafe describes it as a closed loop gift card issued by The Bancorp Bank N.A., Member FDIC, bought at a sales outlet and used with a 16-digit PIN at participating games partners and licensed online gambling partners. One brand, two legal products, and the terms that apply depend on which one a player has bought.

Reach, and Where It Stops

Paysafe states that PaysafeCard is available at 650,000+ points of sale in 50+ countries and 30+ currencies. Reach is not universal and the issuer is explicit about the boundary: PaysafeCard is already available in many countries, and if a reader cannot find their country in the table on its own site, they cannot pay with it there yet. The country table on PaysafeCard's own product page is the current source for coverage. A number typed into a review page is a snapshot of the day it was typed, which is why this site cites the operator's own pages and keeps per-method status in data with a review date.

The Fees Are the Thing to Read

Prepaid products carry a charge structure that card and bank rails do not, and PaysafeCard publishes it. It states that both the use of PaysafeCard and the payment are generally free of charge, and then sets out what happens to money left behind: from the second month, a monthly service fee of GBP 4 is deducted from the residual credit of the prepaid code; from the thirteenth month, a monthly fee of GBP 5 is deducted from a PaysafeCard account if the customer has carried out no transactions in it within twelve months; and GBP 6 per refund is deducted from the amount to be paid out. The practical consequence is that unspent value decays rather than sitting still, which matters most for a player who buys a code and does not use all of it.

A Prepaid Card Is Not a Prepaid Code

The two are often described together and they are no longer the same offer. PaysafeCard states that new sign-ups for the PaysafeCard Mastercard are unavailable and that existing cardholders can continue to use their cards in accordance with the current terms and conditions, and separately that starting 31 July 2025 it is saying goodbye to its current prepaid Mastercards, with each card still working until it expires. The code product continues; the card product has been withdrawn to new customers. Any guidance that treats a prepaid gift card as interchangeable with a prepaid voucher code needs checking against the issuer's current pages, which is where this site takes its figures from.

What This Page Does Not Do

It does not list the prepaid methods available at each casino. Which methods an operator takes is per-operator, per-market data with a source and a review date, and it is held as data for that reason rather than written into a paragraph. It also does not present any payment method as a route to an operator that is not licensed for the player's market. Paysafe's own United States wording confines the product to participating games partners and licensed online gambling partners, and the Gambling Commission states that a gambling licence issued in another country does not permit an operator to provide gambling to consumers in Great Britain.
