CashtoCode launched in 2013 through a company based in Germany, focusing on online casino payments. It is described as a system that complies with EU laws, with acceptance at casinos in Europe reportedly growing. CashtoCode says vouchers are available at more than 400,000 retail locations around the world, including Europe, South America, the UK, and Asia.
How Does CashtoCode Work?
At an online casino, choose CashtoCode as your deposit method. Purchase a voucher for the amount you want to add, then enter its 20-digit code. The funds are credited to your account instantly.
Security
With this payment option, you do not submit banking or personal information as part of the voucher transaction. Physical vouchers can be lost, so keeping one secure is important if you choose that format.
Availability and Currencies
CashtoCode initially served a limited number of countries, including the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, and Italy. It later expanded to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and markets in Asia and Latin America. Supported currencies also include EUR, USD, CAD, and AUD. Availability can vary by casino and location.
Depositing with CashtoCode
Depositing with CashtoCode involves a few more steps than paying directly by card or eWallet, but the process is described as simple. Select CashtoCode at the casino and enter the deposit amount. If you already have a voucher purchased online or from a local retailer, enter its code. Or follow the on-screen steps to generate a barcode in the CashtoCode app. Take the barcode on your phone to a participating store, pay the deposit there, and have the retailer scan it. The casino balance is then credited instantly.
CashtoCode Withdrawals
CashtoCode is a voucher service and cannot be used to withdraw casino funds. To receive a payout, players must use another withdrawal method offered by the casino. An eWallet app could work around this limitation, but providing personal details to use such a service may conflict with one of CashtoCode’s stated selling points.
Fees and Limits
The fee structure is presented as an advantage alongside convenience, privacy, and security: casinos pay the fees, so customers are not charged. The maximum purchase for one transaction is listed as €400.
Pros and Cons of CashtoCode
CashtoCode’s biggest draw is that voucher payments do not require customers to provide personal or banking details. The main downside is that withdrawals are not supported, and voucher payments may be less convenient than other options. Transactions have no fees. For players who value payment privacy, vouchers may work well for deposits, as long as they have another way to withdraw funds.
