Mobile Casino Payment Methods

Credit Cards

Credit cards are the most commonly used payment methods across the world. So it is only natural for it to be offered by all mobile and online casinos, including those that accept South African players. The two most commonly supported credit cards at these casinos are Visa and MasterCard. To know whether a casino supports these methods just check for their logos in the Cashier section. Many mobile casinos also display the credit card logos on their landing page to make it easier for players to spot them.

Credit card payments, especially Visa and MasterCard payments, are supported at South Africa-friendly mobile casinos because these are two of the biggest payment providers in the world today. You get the automatic guarantee of complete security when you opt to make payments through your Visa or MasterCard credit card. Visa and MasterCard deposits are usually instant. Not all casinos support withdrawals through these methods, though there are some that allow withdrawals through a Visa credit card. Check with the casino whether credit cards are supported for withdrawal before using it.

Transacting with a Visa or MasterCard credit card at a South Africa-friendly mobile casino is easy: select the credit card you want to use and then provide the casino with all the required credit card details. There may be a fee charged by the service provider for using a credit card to withdraw winnings from their casino account. One problem of using a credit card is that the money is not entirely yours, you get it as a line of credit from the payment services provider, which means it is money that has to be returned. That is why it is imperative that you be careful when spending from a bankroll funded through a credit card.

Debit Cards

Debit cards are among the safest payment options available at mobile casinos nowadays. They function more or less like credit cards, but with one major difference: the money that you use to fund your casino account with a debit card is your own money. The debit card is linked directly to your bank account, so you can deposit only as much as is available in your bank account. That ensures you will never develop a gambling problem or addiction with debit card payments.

All the top mobile casinos accepting South African players that we list for you on our site support debit card payments and withdrawals. The top debit card payment methods at this time are Visa Electron, Visa Debit and MasterCard Maestro. These are three of the most popular debit cards across the world.

While deposits using debit cards are instant, withdrawals take a little while. A number of mobile casinos for South African players offer debit cards as a withdrawal method.

Easyeft

EasyEFT is a popular payment method in South Africa that allows for instant fund transfer directly from your bank account to the seller or vendor you are transacting with. It is owned and operated by a South African company with headquarters in Mauritius. It is relatively new compared to some of the other payment methods that you find at mobile casinos. You need to register with EasyEFT and open an account with them to be able to use it to deposit funds into your mobile casino account. Registration is fairly straightforward and simple. All you need is an account with one of the South African banks.

One of the biggest pluses that this method provides over other payment methods is that players do not have to go through the hassle of converting their South African Rands into US Dollars or any other currency that the mobile casino accepts. Another significant advantage is that because this is a method that helps you to transfer funds from your bank account directly to your mobile casino account, you are saved the bother of transacting from your credit card account. Any funds that you transfer into your casino account through EasyEFT is effectively money that is yours.

Using EasyEFT to transfer funds into your mobile casino account is simple and easy, apart from being totally secure. You don’t have to link your credit card to make payments using this method. The two basic criteria to making payments with EasyEFT are that you have an EasyEFT account and that the casino supports this payment method.

Next, make a minimum payment using this method: at most mobile casinos the amount to be paid is R25. While there is no fee for depositing funds with EasyEFT from the casino’s side, there may be a fee charged by your bank.
