What is EcoPayz?
EcoPayz is not just a regular payment method for making online payments but an
innovative electronic payment system that uses security features and offers broad accessibility. It allows users to pay online
quickly, smoothly, and easily. Sending money is possible with just one click, and withdrawing funds from various accounts, such as a player account in an
online casino, is just as simple.
History of EcoPayz
EcoPayz was
established in 2000, making it one of the oldest payment methods facilitating online payments and other non-bank financial services. It is headquartered
in the United Kingdom and is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), ensuring that its services are safe for users and that their transactions are protected from data breaches.
What services does EcoPayz offer?
EcoPayz functions essentially
as an electronic wallet, allowing users to pay not only online merchants and service providers but also in brick-and-mortar shops. With EcoPayz, it is possible to
send and receive money in more than 40 different currencies, including cryptocurrencies, and no fees are charged for internal transfers. However, users may encounter fees for certain other transfers, withdrawals, or account maintenance under certain conditions.
Sending and receiving payments
Users of this electronic wallet can send and receive payments in
45 currencies, utilizing various options to deposit money into their EcoPayz account. Payments with this electronic wallet are
almost instant, meaning there is only a minimal delay between sending money from the user’s account and receiving it.
Payments cards
EcoPayz offers users a plastic
EcoCard MasterCard, which they can use just like a regular
payments card. EcoPayz issues these cards in three currencies, allowing users to request separate cards
in dollars, euros, and pounds.
Depositing money
Almost all deposit methods available to EcoPayz users for transferring funds from their bank account
are free of charge. The deposited funds can then be used for both online and offline payments and, for example, for making deposits at online casinos that support this payment method.
How to use EcoPayz?
Paying with EcoPayz is similar to paying with any other electronic wallet. Users can either use their
EcoCard payments card, if requested, or select EcoPayz as their payment method at the gateway and
enter their username and password to confirm the transaction.
Where to use EcoPayz?
EcoPayz can be used with all merchants and service providers
who support it on their websites, as well as at some online casinos where users can deposit funds into their player accounts and use them to place bets on selected games. EcoPayz allows transactions in various currencies,
including cryptocurrencies.

Online casinos where you can pay with EcoPayz
Registration bonuses
Online casinos allow players to enter the exciting world of gambling and win big money anytime, anywhere, even from the comfort of home. However, players must
register at the selected casino and create their own account. For registration and their first deposit, new players are usually rewarded with a
welcome bonus, which may include bonus money to boost their first deposit, free spins, or other rewards.
Withdrawals with EcoPayz
Users with an EcoPayz account can also use this payment method
to withdraw money from their casino account. These transactions are similar to regular bank transfers and usually take longer to process than deposits via EcoPayz. Additional fees may also apply.
