There was a time when in order to use our mobile phone, we had to buy a recharge card from the tobacco shop, kiosk or supermarket and enter the code to have credit. Prepaid cards that have become a thing of the past in telephony, but are still used in many sectors. One of them is online gaming, since thanks to PaySafeCard prepaid cards, we can recharge our user account for online betting, casino or bingo, as it is a widely used payment method.

What is Paysafecard?

PaySafeCard is a prepaid card with values of 10, 25, 50, and 100$, which allows Philippines to make online payments. We can buy them in many physical establishments, such as supermarkets, tobacco shops, kiosks, gas stations, post offices - the website and app offer a point of sale locator - or in the company's online store. In this case, you will need to register. PaySafeCard is an accepted payment method in over 45 countries.

Each PaySafeCard is associated with a PIN number, a 16-digit code that we have to enter when making the payment. Each PIN is unique, so it is impossible to have any duplicates. One of the features of PaySafeCard is that it is not necessary to use all the balance of the card at once. For example, if you buy a 50$ card, you can spend 25$ on a deposit and 25$ on another one. The balance does not expire, although after 12 months of having the card, if there is still balance, we are charged 3$ for maintenance.

Another highlight is that we can enter up to 10 codes in a single deposit. For example, if we are going to deposit $100 in a betting company, we can enter the PIN of 10 cards of $10 each. PaySafeCard has a loyalty program called my PLUS, which allows Philippines to register and use My PaySafeCard to gather all the PINs in one place. It also offers PaySafeCard Mastercard, a prepaid card with which we can make purchases online and in physical stores as if it were a credit card.

It is worth noting that neither the betting house nor PaySafeCard charge any commission for depositing with this method, and the money reaches the gaming account immediately. As a general rule, the minimum deposit is $10, the minimum value of the prepaid card, although some bookies accept deposits of $5. Due to its characteristics, this is a method that can only be used for deposits. Funds cannot be withdrawn via PaySafeCard.

How to deposit via PaySafeCard?

Making a deposit to our preferred betting house with PaySafeCard is really easy. First of all, we have to log in to the betting house and go to the deposits section. Once there, we will see the icons of the available payment methods. We select PaySafeCard and enter the deposit amount. We click on the continue button and temporarily leave the betting house to make the deposit via PaySafeCard.

What appears on the screen is a prompt to enter the 16-digit PIN code. Once you have entered the code, the balance of the card and the outstanding amount to be paid will be displayed on the right column. If there is insufficient balance with that PIN, we can click on the + icon and add a new PIN. Repeat the process as many times as necessary, click on the blue Pay button, and the deposit will be completed.

How to withdraw funds from my account with PaySafeCard?

As a prepaid card, we cannot withdraw funds from our player account using PaySafeCard. As you know, there are some betting companies that require Philippines to have used a deposit method in order to also use it when withdrawing funds from our account. If this is the case and you have deposited with PaySafeCard, you have other methods such as Trustly or bank transfers to withdraw your balance.

Advantages and disadvantages of using PaySafeCard

All payment methods have advantages and disadvantages that should be considered when using them. Let's discover those of PaySafeCard:

With all of this, PaySafeCard presents itself as one of the most interesting options when making deposits at betting houses that accept this payment method.

Conclusions

It's time to take stock of PaySafeCard, and the first thing to say is that it is an excellent payment method, which offers Philippines a lot of advantages, although the downside is that you will have to use another method to withdraw your online betting winnings. In any case, it offers Philippines a lot of facilities when depositing funds, such as having cards of different values or the possibility of using the balance of the same card in different deposits.

It is also worth noting that no commissions are applied, and we receive the money instantly, which makes PaySafeCard a more than valid method to complete your deposits. As we mentioned, it is completely safe, which has led practically all betting houses to offer this payment method. When we come across a bookie that does not allow Philippines to deposit via PaySafeCard, we miss this method.
