UKash

The History of UKash

UKash was founded in 2005 and it was a popular system which allowed their account users to make an exchange between their real cash and secure online codes. These codes could be used to make payments online, to load up cards or even to fund eWallets and money transfers. The codes were available around the world in retail locations, kiosks and some ATMs as well as online. Before UKash became part of the Skrill Group it moved forward in many ways with the launch of a UKash Travel Money Prepaid MasterCard in June 2014 and also a prepaid MasterCard for both Euros and US Dollars and this card could be used in any location where MasterCard was accepted.

It was in 2015 that this company became part of the Skrill Group and this meant their secure cash codes were replaced by the group’s Paysafecard system as soon as 31st October 2015. The Paysafecard system has some similarities to this payment system but it did mark a big change for those loyal to the UKash system.

UKash worked through exchanging your cash at participating outlets or online and your cash gained you a 19-digit secure code. This code could then be used on many different websites or used to top-up your eWallet and it could be used in a wide range of different online casinos too.

Using Paysafecard for Online Casino Payments

As UKash no longer exists the alternative put in place is Paysafecard and you can use Paysafecard with ease to top up your account. Paysafecard works through converting currency into digital money on your Paysafecard account which has a unique PIN and this PIN is the equivalent of a bank card PIN and without it you can’t access your money.

Once you have bought your Paysafecard and topped up your account you can then make a deposit via your code to your chosen casino site. The main issue people have with this payment method though, is that it cannot be used as a withdrawal method and so it can only be used to top your account up.
