Online casino patrons in Europe usually have a long list of open options when it comes to making deposits safely and efficiently. One of the options interesting especially for Italian casino members is Postepay. These are prepaid cards that first appeared in 2003.
Using them for topping up an online casino account is simple and easy if you stick to these steps:
Register at the Post Office with an Italian ID
Since Postepay is a service offered by Poste Italiane, in order to obtain a Postepay prepaid card, you need to visit a post office and verify your details by providing a valid identification card and your Italian identification number.
Once your information has been verified, you will be able to apply for one of the prepaid cards and the options include both plastic and digital.
Choose the Type of the Postepay Card
The available prepaid card types include Postepay Connect, Postepay Evolution, Postepay Evolution Business and Postepay Standard.
Essentially, these cards are usually Visa Electron cards, which means you can recharge them and spend their balance over and over. They also give you great reach, as they can be used wherever Visa cards are accepted.
Load the Prepaid Card with Funds
Once the post office issues you a card, you must load some money into its balance. This can be done in various ways, depending on the version of your card.
It is possible to add funds at the post office or ATMs physically, or online. You can load up to €2,000 to your card and make a single transaction of €1,000.
Find a Casino that Supports Postepay Payments
It shouldn’t be hard to find a good, trusted casino on the web for Italian players that supports Postepay prepaid cards. After settling with a reliable choice, go to the casino website and register an account.
As a registered member, you can make deposits and request withdrawals later.
Select Postepay as your Method of Payment
Go to the casino’s cashier and browse through the available deposit options. Look for the Postepay logo and click on it. Visa Electron or MasterCard-supporting casinos also fall under the category of suitable venues to play at.
Make sure you have all the details of the card at hand so that you can properly conduct the deposit process.
Fill in the Deposit Amount and the Card Details
Fill in the field with the amount you would like to transfer to your player account balance and add the information required from the card – the card number, card holder name, expiration date and the CVV code.
Confirm the Transaction and Verify
The only thing left is for you to approve the transfer and if you have requested SMS notifications when you applied for the card, you will be sent a code to your phone number in order to green-light the transaction.
Funds should be immediately available at the casino balance. You can start gambling.
