Trust your Online Security to Visa Gift Card Pokies

For online gaming purposes, there’s no more secure way to fund an account than with a gift card. Pokies fans have been trusting prepaid Visa’s for years now. They’re easy to buy, easy to use, and give players that added sense of security that’s oh-so important in today’s digital market.

Visa gift cards can be acquired at most retail outlets. Department stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, they all deal in prepaid cards. They are a safe, reliable means of using money over the internet, without having to divulge any sustained financial information (bank account, credit card, etc.)

Visa – The Perfect Gift (Card)

Pokies players all over Australia should be ecstatic to receive a prepaid Visa. As we all know, some people are really hard to buy for. If you’re having trouble finding the right gift for someone who plays real money games online, you could do a lot worse.

Whether it’s for Valentine’s Day, a birthday, anniversary, or any other gift-giving occasion, Visa gift cards are a great choice because they come in a wide range of personalized designs and monetary values. Whether it’s a simple $20 card or a $100+, the buyer’s fee is nominal, and the smile you can expect to receive in thanks is always worth the expense.

Virtual Visa – The Online Gift Card

Pokies players don’t actually have to head out into the world to get their hands on a prepaid Visa. They can also be purchased online as a ‘Virtual Visa‘ card, through trusted sites like EntroPay. In fact, EntroPay Virtual Visa’s are one of the most commonly accepted methods of payment for Australian iGamers.

A Virtual Visa works in the exact same manner as a physical gift card, accept that it’s information is delivered online, via email. The email will contain a 16-digit card number and 3-digit CVV code, just like the plastic cards have.

Why Are Gift Cards More Secure?

When compared to credit cards, gifts are considered more secure because users aren’t required to give out sensitive information over the internet. Reputable online gambling sites are incredibly secure, but breeches can happen.

If credit card information is compromised, the owner has to go through the hassle of reporting the card stolen, canceling the card and requesting a new one. If a gift card is compromised, only the amount of cash left on the card is at risk.

For this reason, it’s always a good idea to purchase gift cards in the exact amount you intend to use. Once those funds are deposited, the card can be tossed in the trash with no worries.

How to Use Visa Gift Cards for iGaming

Physical and virtual prepaid cards can be used at online casinos (and other internet-based merchants) the same way a credit or debt card would be used. From the operator’s Banking page, you’ll be asked to select a payment method. Your selection will depend on the type of gift card purchased.

Visa Gift Card – choose Visa Gift Card (or Visa Debit) as the method of Deposit.

Entropay Virtual Visa – choose Entropay as the method of deposit.

Other Gift Card – choose the type of gift card you’ve purchased, or if available, select ‘Gift Card’ or ‘Prepaid Card’ as the method of deposit.

Next, you’ll be asked to enter the amount to be deposited, and the information from the card. You’ll need the 16-digit card number and 3-digit CVV code (found on the back of the gift card.)

Pokies players will have immediate access to those funds in their iGaming account. Since gift cards are prepaid, there’s no wait period.
