Ukash
Poker Payment Method
What is Ukash?
Ukash has revolutionized the way we see online
payment methods. Its new and its here to stay. There are
no tedious credit checks or screenings, gone are the days
where you have to prove your identity to the service
provider. You don’t even have to register! Ukash is as
simple as going down to your corner store to buy milk.
It’s a voucher system that is converted to digital cash
online. Buy vouchers and spend them on your favorite
Poker site. This new way to buy chips online has no
limits; the more vouchers you buy the more you can spend.
Safer than any other online payment method in existence,
Ukash doesn’t require any financial details from you at
all. It’s like paying for chips at your local casino,
from cash to ecash. You can even buy the vouchers with
your credit card, so no more card frustrations online
either.
How does it work?
Ukash has hit Europe and the United Kingdom,
becoming the easiest and most effective way to buy poker
chips online. It’s as simple as buying prepaid
electricity for your house, go to your nearest shop and
request the Ukash voucher, it’s that easy. You will be
asked how much credit you would like on your card and you
will then buy that exact amount in cash, no sundry
charges at all. Your voucher will have a 19 digit
security code that you will be required to key in to
play. Just choose Ukash as your payment option on any
Poker site. The ecash will immediately become credit and
you can play, right away. Once a voucher is bought you
have 12 months before it expires and the number becomes
invalid. But here’s the best part about Ukash – you can
have the vouchers sent to you via email or sent to your
phone. So even if you can’t make it too the shops the
vouchers are available anywhere at any time of the day.
How do I get my money out if I
win?
As effective as Ukash is when depositing money
online, that’s all it can do. It is not an online
withdrawal method. When you win your vouchers will not be
reloaded with credit and not be redeemable for cash. The
poker room will be able to send your money to you through
the post via a check. Alternatively you can open a
secondary account where you can then either deposit it
into your personal bank account or draw it out with a
card.
What are the advantages of using
Ukash?
-
There are no sundry fees with Ukash, no levies,
deposit fees, transaction or account fees. What you
pay for is what you get. Key in the code and
play.
-
You can use your Ukash vouchers on other sites as
well. If you spend some of the amount you will still
retain the rest to be used elsewhere, change does not
fall away.
-
There is a well organized support system in place
for people who want to know more about Ukash or who
have any questions. The call centre is more than
willing to help.
-
Your email address is the only personal piece of
information required if you buy the vouchers via the
internet. There is no safer payment method online
today.
What are the disadvantages
of using Ukash?
-
Like so many other payment options, Ukash is not
yet available to US
Residents.
-
Ukash is a deposit method and cannot be used as a
withdrawal method as well.
-
Because the vouchers are virtually anonymous
there will be no record of what you spend at each
poker site.
