Payment methods - the most important information, guide.
Casinos try to meet the needs of their customers and in addition bonuses, also provide the best payment methods. Operators that handle payments in online stores also provide services for online casinos.
In Poland, these are, among others: payment cards, internet wallets, prepaid cards and bank transfers. What factors make a payment method attractive? First of all, security: both transactions, funds and personal data of the client. Clients most willingly deposit and withdraw using proven and reliable methods.
Another desirable quality for a good payment method is speed. The customer does not want to wait a few days for his casino account to be credited, which is why payment operators who offer instant payments are most in demand.
It is worth paying attention to the issue of commission that can be charged by both the payment operator and the online casino. The operators usually set the amount charged in advance for the transaction service, but not all of them, as many operators do not charge any fees. This is not the case with online casinos. The payments are free of commission. When it comes to withdrawals, there is usually no commission, but there is a limit to the number of free withdrawals per week. For example, 3 payouts per calendar week are free of charge. However, each subsequent withdrawal will be processed with a specific fee. Every casino is obliged to include the rules of collecting fees in the regulations - payment methods section.
Types of payment methods
In the list below you will find the most important information about the most popular payment methods that operate in Polish online casinos. They have been divided into groups and characterized to make it easier to understand their operation:

2. Prepaid cards
This is called prepaid payment method. It owes its popularity to high availability. It is fast, secure, and most importantly - completely anonymous. Depending on the type, the cards can be purchased from a regular shop such as Paysafecard or by registering an account to get an Entropay prepaid card that works like a virtual Visa card. Payments are fast and secure.
3. Internet wallets
- also known as eWallets, are electronic wallets that allow you to make deposits and withdrawals to and from your online casino account. It is an electronic payment system associated with your email address that allows you to transfer money. Transactions are concluded instantly and withdrawals are possible at an ATM. One of the main advantages is security. The web wallet can be funded from a credit card or bank account. This flow does not show a direct transaction between the casino and your bank account.
This payment method is very popular in Poland and mainly includes two brands: Skrill, i.e. the former Moneybookers, and Neteller. Jeton is also quite on the market, a new internet wallet that you can use at the casino.

4. Payment cards
This payment method is one of the most popular among online casino customers. It is convenient and fast, allowing you to fund your casino account. The funds are in your account almost instantly and you can play your favorite casino games right away. The customer can also withdraw to the card. It will take up to 3 business days. Online casinos accept virtually any type of payment card, hence the great interest in this form of account top-up. It is important to save your card details when making a deposit at the casino, it is necessary for the subsequent withdrawal.
Among all payment cards, virtual cards such as Revolut or Entropay occupy a special place. What is a virtual card? As you can guess, this is a virtual, i.e. online version of a normal payment card. The only difference is that we do not have to wait a dozen or so days to receive it, applying for the card is much simpler and of course the card is only virtual. A virtual card functions similarly to an internet wallet, except that to make a payment with it, we provide card details, just like in the case of a regular card transaction. The disadvantage of such a card is that we only work online and we cannot withdraw cash from an ATM, for example. However, a recent trend has emerged that material copies of cards that previously functioned as virtual are also created.
5. New, revolutionary methods.
In this category we decided to put methods that are new and in some cases not yet fully available at online casinos. We mean Pay'n Play, a method developed by Trustly, thanks to which it will not be necessary to register a casino account or verify documents (these will be downloaded from the bank with which Trustly cooperates).
Another payment method that deserves attention is Revolut, something like a bank account, with the difference that it allows you to exchange currencies without commission!
Pay'n Play
- - You do not need to register a casino account
- - Instant deposits and withdrawals
- - Automatic verification of documents
6. Instant payments
. When depositing into the casino account via instant payments, we are redirected to our personal banking website. We need to confirm the ready transfer form, which already contains the title of the transaction - a specific identification number. The funds are in the account immediately or up to a maximum of 15 minutes, depending on the operator. These payment methods are called instant payments as they significantly reduce your deposit processing time. In fact, we use a bank transfer, but an operator, such as Przelewy24, "sets up money for the bank" and the funds are at our disposal almost immediately. It is important to check whether our bank is on the list of services supported by the operator.
Klarna
- - Instant payment from the bank account
- - Payments without creating an account
- - Anonymity and security
7. Bank transfer
. It is a traditional and highly trusted payment method. Funds are transferred directly from the player's bank account to the casino account and vice versa. Transfers are made as SEPA transfers - international transfers and may be charged by the bank. A bank transfer would certainly be a widely used method, were it not for the fact that it takes a relatively long time to receive funds, compared to modern payment methods. The waiting time is up to 5 business days.
Bank transfer
- - transaction time: payment
- - payment up to 5 working days
- - up to 5 business days
- - commission: depending on the bank
8. Invoice System
. The group of these payment methods is becoming more and more popular, especially in the Scandinavian countries. It enables invoice payment via a mobile phone and other methods of customer identification. This is an innovative method that certainly has a bright future, probably also in other countries and in Poland.
Zimpler can be used as an example. This payment method works in Sweden and Finland. Operation is very simple and convenient. All you need to do is confirm the details: name, ID card number, mobile phone number and it will be confirmed that your situation allows the loan to be granted. Then nothing prevents you from making the payment. The identity is confirmed via the mobile phone - you will receive a text message with a code. The use of the code is equivalent to the confirmation of the transaction and the invoice will be sent by e-mail.
9. Unavailable methods in the Polish casino
The situation on the Polish market is very dynamic and due to the applicable regulations (anti-gambling act), many payment intermediaries unfortunately decide to withdraw. So it happened with payments Ukash, or very famous in Poland Payu. However, it remains for us to hope that these payments will return one day.
