PaySafeCard Online Poker Site Deposits – How To Deposit

Paysafecard is a pre-pay system for online shopping that utilizes an electronic payment method. It is based in Austria and was created in 2000.  In order to use the Paysafecard, you fund the card with a deposit, then use the online dollars similar to cash transactions in the real world.  It is a great benefit to customers who are leery about entering their credit card information into online forms while shopping or funding a poker account.  This is an understandable concern, since unknown online stores have varying levels of security for credit card transactions over the Internet.  Some have terrific encryption, while others are more laid back in their approach. Paysafecard also offers an additional level of security, as you are able to add a password to your card, which will then have to be entered prior to making a purchase.

In order to purchase a Paysafecard, you can pay cash at any retailer linked to PayPoint and then receive the card with your PIN number. Eventually, you’ll be charged a monthly fee of two pounds for the use of the card.  While this doesn’t kick in initially, it’s a fee to keep in mind as it will occur down the line if you don’t empty the card.  The exact time it begins can vary, but is between 12 and 24 months.

Given the way Paysafecard is set up, you can feel confident in its security which makes it another great option for online poker players. Paysafecard is accepted at Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet, two of the leading online poker rooms.

However, perhaps the most notable site that accepts the Paysafecard is Party Poker, which is widely considered to be one of the top two or three sites on the Internet.  Party Poker has a large player pool, easier games than the average site and a wide array of good deposit options.

Paysafecard is currently available at more than 300,000 sales outlets in Europe and continues to grow.  It is accepted by 3,500 online merchants and you can combine up to 10 Paysafecards in a single transaction of up to 500 dollars.  If you have left over money on a Paysafecard, you can return it to your bank account within two weeks of the purchase of the card for no cost.  After that, you will be subject to a fee of $7.50.
