How ecoPayz casinos work

ecoPayz is an e-wallet accepted by a good number of online casinos. It is free to set up an account, and you don’t need a bank account, nor will you have to undergo a credit check. Once you have set up an account, you will no longer have to worry about giving out your credit card or bank details to online casinos when making a deposit. All you will need is your ecoPayz username and password in order to make a payment.

ecoPayz payments should process almost instantaneously. Though some casinos may implement their own security checks which may prolong the withdrawal process, deposits should be immediate.

Depositing money at an ecoPayz merchant casino should incur no fees for the customer, and neither will it incur fees from them when you want to make a withdrawal. However, the casino may implement a small withdrawal fee. For more information on the fees and limits of a specific casino, visit the Banking/Cashier help section of the casino’s website.

You may incur small charges on ecoPayz when you deposit and withdraw money from your ecoAccount. For bank account deposits, you will incur a fee of 0-7%. For credit card deposits, it will be a 1.69-2.9% charge. When making a withdrawal of funds from your ecoAccount to your bank account, this will incur a fee of anywhere from the equivalent of C$5.90-C$10.00

Are ecoPayz casinos or me?

As with all digital wallets, the main benefits of using ecoPayz as your online casino payment method are twofold. First, it is a way to siphon off and centralize your online gambling funds to help you keep track of your finances. Secondly, you do not have to give your bank account or credit card information to an online casino if you are wary of doing so.
