Security and legality
Paysafecard is a very secure payment method for making purchases and deposits online. It is paid as if it were with cash, since it is not necessary to indicate your personal data or your bank account information.

To operate safely, you just have to enter the PIN in authorized establishments, and in the case of loss, theft or any other type of suspicious activity it is possible to request the blocking of the PIN at any time of the day, protecting the balance from any unwanted attack.

Conclusion about Paysafecard
In short, we can affirm that Paysafecard is a totally safe and comfortable payment method, although it has its complications.
It is recommended only for those cases where you are going to make small deposits, since the limits of this payment method are low and it can be difficult to acquire numerous cards in establishments. If you want to create an online account in this payment method, it would be more comfortable to do it already in another electronic wallet such as Skrill or Neteller that also has less commissions and belongs to the same business group.
You should also keep in mind that the withdrawal will have to be made by bank transfer, so sooner or later you will have to give your bank details to the bookmaker (where they will be totally safe).
Therefore, this means of payment can be an interesting option at some specific moment (few transactions or low amounts) but we think it may be more useful to create an account in another electronic wallet or opt for another payment method if you want to make transactions regularly or with higher amounts.
