Another popular deposit option for many bettors is paysafecard, which allows you to deposit funds into a betting account without the need for a bank account or credit card. If the card is available in your country, and online betting is legal, you'll likely be able to find a paysafecard betting site.

This pre-payment method requires you to buy a paysafecard from a sales outlet, and then use it to purchase a voucher code, which is a 16-digit code you can enter as a way to deposit at a betting site, with your account balance credited with the same amount you spent on the paysafecard.
