E-Wallets Now a Popular Option Among South African Casino Players

In a survey and study published on Statista, e-wallets are now considered a leading payment option among customers based in South Africa. Based on the published survey, the most preferred are credit cards and bank transfers. As of January 2020, 41 percent of South African customers prefer cards and another 20 percent use bank transfers. 

 

But e-wallet also posts solid numbers: roughly 17 percent of respondents indicate their preference for this payment option. This only validates the growing importance and benefits of e-wallets to customers. 

Compared to other payment options, e-wallets offer safe, convenient, and secure payment arrangements. And thanks to these perks, e-wallets are standard payment options too in many South African online casinos. Today, all the leading online casinos that accept SA players host e-wallets in their cashier sections.

 

Neteller and Skrill as Two Popular e-Wallets

 

An e-wallet is a type of electronic card that you can use to complete online transactions. Compared to debit or credit cards, an e-wallet simplifies the registration and payments. You only need a few personal details including your e-mail and you can complete your registration. You need to link these e-wallets to your bank account to complete the transfers. Two of the most popular e-wallets today are Neteller and Skrill. Both e-wallets offer free registration and provide customers with a fast, flexible, and low-cost way of completing payments. These are the primary reasons why South African online casinos advertise these as their primary payment options.

 

Popular South African Casinos that Use e-Wallets

 

The popularity of e-wallets is seen in many South African online casinos. Omni Casino and Silver Sands Casino are two leading SA casinos that prioritize the use of e-wallets for their deposit and withdrawal transactions. 

 

Silver Sands Casino takes it a step further by hosting a promotion specific to the use of e-wallets. If you sign up for an account with Silver Sands, you can enjoy the 100% bonus that includes 50 bonus spins that you can use on the slot game called Count Spectacular. To enjoy this promotion, make sure you use the promotional code: NETSSE. With this promotion, you can double your deposit up to €500.

 

Aside from the Neteller offer, Silver Sands also offers a Skrill-based promotion for regular customers. Again, you can enjoy the same kind of offer in the form of a 100% deposit match up to €500. The bonus package also includes free spins you can use on the same slot game. Its main difference with the Neteller promotion is the use of specific coupon code: SKRILL_VIP. Both promotions do not impose limits on your cashout.

The use of e-wallets for transactions is here to stay and online casinos for South African players are taking notice. When convenience, security, and flexibility matter, then these payment processors should be considered. And by using these options, you can even enjoy a few promotions and campaigns that can enhance your gambling experience.
