UPayCard

Casinos with UPayCard

Overview

UPayCard is both an e-wallet, where you can upload and store funds, and a prepaid debit card provider. Customers can get physical and virtual prepaid cards to make secure payments online and in-store (only the physical card) instantly and safely. The card is accepted wherever MasterCard is accepted.

Unlike some other e-wallets, UPayCard also allows you to store several cryptocurrencies in individual wallets. Coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash are supported.

Moorwand Ltd, the company operating UPayCard, is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)  in the UK. UPayCard is accessible to customers and merchants worldwide, but the prepaid card can only be issued to nationals within the EEA area (European Economic Area)

Bonus

Depositing players normally want a reward for sending money to a casino, and the payment method used matters. There are lots of bonus offers such as free spins, no-deposit and deposit bonuses and other welcome packages, that you are eligible for when you choose UPayCard to make a deposit.

Some payment methods are not eligible for bonuses, but UPayCard is normally not one of them. However, bonus offers are always subject to terms and conditions, so make sure to read the fine print before you make a deposit to get access to any bonus deal. We also recommend checking the wagering requirements, which differ between offers.

Advantages

UPayCard offers iGamers several benefits when it comes to casino deposits and withdrawals. Deposits are instantly processed. Security of the transactions is highly guaranteed and you can just upload the funds to your casino account and start playing your favourite games in no time.

• Security: UPayCard is a highly regulated payment provider, and even in a worst case scenario you could never stand to lose more than what is in your prepaid account. Your personal finances and bank account are thus protected from significant losses at all times.
• Instant Transactions: Once you have a funded account and a card, depositing to casinos or making any other kind of payment is instantaneous.
• Support: Customer support services offered are excellent in case of any kind of queries or problems faced

Disadvantages

There are still only a small number of betting sites which allow gamblers to use the card, but having said that, more sites are being added as the card expands. Some players can’t use UpayCard as a payment option because it is restricted in their country.

• Limited Use: Not accepted by all casinos yet (see top list above)
