PaySafeCard Casinos

Online Casinos in New Zealand That Accept Paysafecard

* All casinos listed accept Paysafecard deposits. Bonus terms and conditions apply. Game numbers subject to change.

How Does Paysafecard Work?

1. Walk into any dairy, service station, or Countdown (there’s probably one within 500 meters of where you’re sitting right now)
2. Buy a voucher, they come in $10, $25, $50, and $100 NZD denominations
3. Head to your favorite online casino that accepts Paysafecard (most of the big ones do these days)
4. Enter the 16-digit PIN in the cashier section, and you’re sorted

The whole process takes about five minutes, tops. Last week, I timed myself, three minutes from walking into the dairy to having funds in my casino account. Beat that, bank transfer.

Pros and Cons

My Experience

Three months back, I was sitting at my computer trying to deposit $200 at a popular online casino. My credit card got declined (turns out my bank’s not keen on gambling transactions, how dare they dictate to me how I spend my money), and the bank transfer would’ve taken ages. Grabbed my keys, drove down to the local Z station, bought two $100 Paysafecard vouchers, and was back playing within 15 minutes. I was fairly fuming that I had to do this but it was the best option at the time, banks really drive me nuts, they need put in their place, something which crypto will likely do over the coming decades. 

Last winter, I learned about PIN problems the hard way. Bought a $50 voucher, somehow managed to spill my, er, coffee, definitely not beer, all over it before I could use it. The numbers were completely illegible. Luckily, I’d kept the receipt (always keep your receipt ya numpty), and Paysafecard’s support sorted me out within a day. Not ideal having to wait but better than losing your money altogether, that’s for sure.

Tips from a Regular User

• Buy your vouchers in smaller denominations. If you lose one $100 voucher, that’s going to really sting, unless you’re a baller and $100 means nothing to you, which isn’t me. However, if you lose one of four $25 vouchers, you’ve still got the other three, so the hit isn’t as hard and you’re not going to be as cheesed off. Though it can be an extra hassle having 4 vouchers instead of 1, so really that’s up to you if you see it as an easier/safer way to do things.
• Take photos of your PINs immediately. Store them somewhere safe (not on your phone’s camera roll, as they can be seen by various pieces of sneaky software which purposefully looks for these numbers, use a secure notes app instead)
• Check the casino’s minimum deposit before buying. Some places won’t accept deposits under $20 NZD, so those $10 vouchers might not be useful.
• Keep your receipts until you’ve used the voucher. Might seem obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people chuck them straight in the bin.

After learning of a few players switching to Paysafecard for their online casino deposits, I’ve noticed a pattern, they do keep using this method, not always but they know it’s safe, it works and you can set deposit limits in a kind of way buy only buying the amount you’re willing to spend, it’s like a reality check. There’s something reassuring about walking into your local dairy, handing over cash, and walking out with a voucher that keeps your gaming separate from your regular finances, too. Just remember to set your limits before you buy those vouchers, and maybe skip the fourth trip to the dairy in a single night.
