PaySafeCard is a great option for players who either do not want to or cannot use their credit card or bank information online. With paysafecard you simply purchase a voucher from one of the many paysafecard outlets across Canada and load it into your free paysafecard account. You can then use your paysafecard balance to add funds to your betting account. The process works similar to a prepaid credit card that you would buy at the convenience store, but there’s the additional step of adding the funds to your paysafecard account before transferring them to your sportsbook account.
Canadian credit cards will sometimes not work at online sportsbooks and many people like to keep their bank information private. Paysafecard is a great alternative for either of these issues.
Both of our top rated sportsbooks accept paysafecard deposits for bettors in Ontario and Alberta. If you live elsewhere in Canada, paysafecard isn’t currently offered, so check out our other Canadian deposit methods instead.
My top pick is SportsInteraction.com, which is licensed by iGaming Ontario and Alberta iGaming Corporation to operate in the regulated Ontario and Alberta betting markets, while also accepting players from the rest of Canada. Sports Interaction charges no fees for paysafecard deposits.
Bet365.ca also accepts paysafecard in Ontario and Alberta, with deposits from $10 up to $400.
Paysafecard Deposit Guide
Here is a two step guide to depositing into your online sports betting account using paysafecard.
Purchase a Paysafecard Voucher
Click here to visit the paysafecard website and find paysafecard retailers near you. Enter your address on the page provided to find the closest paysafecard retailers. All Canada Post offices, along with some convenience stores and gas stations, should allow you to purchase paysafecards.
I entered the address for the Saddledome Arena in Calgary and got the following results:
As you can see there’s a ton of retailers where you can quickly purchase a voucher. You can also purchase vouchers directly from the paysafecard website after registering your account.
Deposit Using Your Paysafecard Voucher
Sports Interaction now requires you to deposit through a free paysafecard account rather than entering a voucher PIN directly. First, register your paysafecard account and load your voucher by entering its 16 digit PIN code. Then follow these steps at Sports Interaction:
Log in to your SportsInteraction.com account, open the Cashier and select ‘Deposit’.
Click the paysafecard logo and enter your deposit amount.
Log in to your paysafecard account when you’re redirected and confirm the payment.
If you entered the information correctly your deposit will go through right away and your funds will be available to use. Just make sure the name on your paysafecard account matches the name on your betting account, or the deposit will be rejected.
Withdrawals
At Sports Interaction, once you’ve made a successful paysafecard deposit you can withdraw back to your paysafecard account by selecting the paysafecard logo in the Withdrawals section of the Cashier. You can also cash out with Interac e-Transfer. At Bet365, withdrawals for paysafecard deposits are sent by bank transfer.
Because you haven’t provided any validated information about yourself, the sportsbook may make you jump through a couple hoops before processing your withdrawal. You will likely have to confirm your identity by sending the sportsbook a picture of your government issued ID (driver’s licence) and a proof of address (credit card statement, hydro bill, etc).
