Paysafecard and prepaid vouchers: a one-way ticket
By Ilze Krūmiņa · updated October 2026
Prepaid vouchers such as Paysafecard let you pay with a code bought in advance, without sharing card or bank details with the merchant. That privacy is the appeal. The catch for a casino player is simple: vouchers are usually a deposit-only method. Money goes in by voucher but must come out another way. This page describes how vouchers generally work in a cashier — not whether any operator accepts them.
The set of methods and the limits depend on the account — check the cashier.
How a voucher deposit works
- Choose the voucher option in the cashier and enter the amount.
- Type the voucher code (or log in to the voucher provider's account, if you use one).
- Confirm; the balance updates.
- Keep the voucher receipt until you have withdrawn or closed the account.
Vouchers come in fixed denominations. If the deposit amount does not match the voucher value, the remainder may stay on the voucher for later use, depending on the provider's rules.
Why vouchers rarely work for withdrawals
A voucher code cannot receive money back the way a card or bank account can. So when you request a payout, the cashier will ask for another route — typically a bank transfer to an account in your name. Plan this before depositing: if you have no account in your name that the cashier accepts, you may struggle to withdraw at all. Details on Withdrawals.
Verification still applies
Paying by voucher does not make the account anonymous. Before a payout you will normally pass the same verification as everyone else, and the operator will check that the payout account is yours. Keep voucher receipts: they can help prove the deposits were yours if questions arise.
Budget control — the good side
Because a voucher has a fixed value, it works as a hard spending cap: when the voucher is spent, it is spent. Some players use vouchers deliberately for that reason. Just do not buy "one more" voucher to chase losses — at that point the cap has stopped working. See Responsible gambling.
Bonus terms
As with e-wallets, some bonus terms exclude voucher deposits from promotions. If you plan to take a bonus, check the excluded payment methods first (Bonus terms).
Who it suits
Players who value not sharing card details and like a fixed spending cap, and who already have a bank account in their name ready for withdrawals. Compare with open banking and e-wallets on Payments.
