UKash was created by Smart Voucher Ltd. and it allows players to "buy" vouchers for real cash and get a 19-number code that can be electronically transferred to a casino.
The good thing about this is that there is no age requirement, no personal information forms and you just need to go there and get it. Unfortunately, this method is not available in the US, currently Ukash focuses its operations in the UK and other parts of Europe.
The popularity of Ukash has increased, especially in as some countries prohibit gambling in private casinos or at least discourage it, so players do not want that to appear in their record.
Ukash - Highlights
Easy to Use. Ukash is money in the form of a voucher. So basically you need to "buy" the voucher with cash at a shop showing the PayPoint sign. You can then pay the amount of cash you want to deposit and you will get a voucher with a 19-digit number that you should use when you deposit at your favorite casino.
Safe. When you use Ukash you are not required to have a credit card nor give any financial nor personal details.Also, with Ukash there is no identity theft risk as the voucher will be in your hands and only you will have access to the code.
No Fees. There are no fees involved in using Ukash.
Ukash - Downside
Not Available for US Players. As stated before, Ukash is not available for US players as it focuses operations in Europe. Though it has slowlye xpanded to other regions of the world and shows no signs of slowing down.
Limits. Ukash is only available in the following values:
- PayPoint - £5.00 to £499.00
- payzone - £15, £30, £50, £75 and £100
- e-pay - £10, £20, £25, £30, £40, £50, £75 and £100
So this is probably not the best option for high rollers as you would have to get tons of vouchers, but if you are willing to, then go ahead.
Using Ukash. one inconvinience of this method is that users would have to phisically travel to the location where they can acquire the voucher with the code. However, in most European countries and Canada, Ukash has managed to be available in corner shops, post offices and petrol stations.
Ukash - Personal Opinion
Ukash is a simple alternate payment option for those afraid of using their credit cards on the internet. It is efficient and safe and offers great advantaged that no other method has. If you do not mind picking up your vouchers from time to time then Ukash is a good option for you.
