Rating
Neosurf will certainly be appreciated especially by players playing in online casinos where this payment method is supported, and for making the first deposit through it
they can receive an interesting welcome bonus. Unlike other payment methods, there are
no fees charged for balances on the account or coupon, the validity of which is moreover unlimited. However, a disadvantage is that in the Czech Republic, it is not possible to buy a coupon in a physical store. However, a wide network of
online distributors is available, offering Neosurf coupons in various amounts, albeit only in foreign currency. Although creating a MyNeosurf account offers a simpler option, even in this case, it is not possible to deposit Czech crowns into it.
Transactions conducted in a foreign currency are always adjusted by the current exchange rate, and additionally, a fee of
2% of the total amount is charged. Among the greatest strengths are certainly security and anonymity, as well as the speed and convenience of entering online payments.
