Supported regionsEurope · North America · LATAMPaysafeCard is a cash-funded prepaid payment method using a 16-digit code, with account-based features in supported countries. It is not the same product as Skrill or NETELLER. Voucher denominations, player limits and supported merchant sectors differ by jurisdiction; a voucher deposit should not be presented as a generic withdrawal rail.

Figures marked “Not disclosed” have no public source. Most iGaming payment pricing is negotiated per merchant — we leave the gap visible rather than estimating.How we handle sources
Licences
Prepaid Services Company Limited — provider-disclosed UK EMI, FRN 900021; EEA prepaid services use a separate Irish entity.
iGaming stance
The official source describes the product and its use case. This is not an independently measured market-share or performance ranking.
Worth knowing: Country and voucher-product restrictions apply; do not treat a deposit voucher as a universal withdrawal route.
Primary-source review: 5 October 2026. This is documentary research, not live payment testing. Provider claims are identified separately from documented terms.
Paysafe identifies Prepaid Services Company Limited as a UK EMI, FRN 900021, and a separate Irish prepaid entity. Product eligibility remains jurisdiction-specific; this pass did not independently verify both registers. Official source.
The business download centre provides Classic Payment, Payout Service and Refund Service documentation. A cash voucher itself is not cash-out; payouts/refunds require the corresponding account/service and separate activation. Official source.
Published resources include REST and legacy SOAP guides, Reporting API, merchant reporting tools and Postman examples. Existing PSP integration can differ from direct merchant implementation and reconciliation.
The centre links a country-specific product and denomination overview. Consumer voucher fees, account fees, prepaid Mastercard and PSD2 account-access services are distinct from the gaming merchant acceptance tariff.
Seven weighted factors produce 7.3. The heaviest is derived from the stance above, not scored by hand.
Regulatory assessment · 21 October 2026
7.0/10: named prepaid entities are disclosed, but the independent register and enforcement review is incomplete. A prepaid method's authorisation is separate from the merchant's acquirer and gambling approval.
Compliance criterion revised from 8.5 to 7.0 after the evidence review. Other criterion inputs were not changed.
