Betfair has always been the type of site I gravitate to when I’m looking for an all-round online gambling experience. This site incorporates its iconic betting exchange product, as well as an unbeatable online casino when it comes to games and special offers.
It doesn’t hurt, of course, that Betfair is one of the UK’s most trusted names and promises players a safe and secure gaming platform off which to play.
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any better at Betfair, along comes the news that the site is offering UK players the chance to use cash to pay for their online betting entertainment, thanks to a new deal between the group and the online cash payments provider, Ukash.
I was thrilled to hear on Friday that Betfair has signed up with Ukash to enable players to buy vouchers and fund their accounts with them.
Paying with Ukash at Betfair
If you haven’t yet heard of Ukash, it’s time that you did. The online cash payment provider essentially allows you to use cash to shop and play online in a safe and secure manner. This is the perfect solution for players who don’t have a debit or credit card, or don’t want to enter their personal information to pay online.
Betfair confirmed that all customers who pass strict verification processes will, from now on, be able to make cash deposits into their accounts using Ukash vouchers.
These vouchers can be bought from over 50,000 sale points in the United Kingdom — which means that there is absolutely no reason for missing out on this great way to play and pay.
Even better, you can use Ukash to withdraw your winnings in cash.
Betfair: Innovative and Respected
It’s not only players (like me!) who are thrilled about the deal between Betfair and Ukash. The groups themselves expressed their delight in a join statement recently.
According to the CEO of Ukash, Betfair was the world’s first successful betting exchange and is a company «respected for its innovation and values».
«They are a great British success story and this makes our cooperation even more satisfying,» he said.
Also commenting was the group operations director of Betfair, Ian Chuter, who reaffirmed that Ukash is a secure and easy method of deposit and withdrawing, and supports the group’s wider, on-going aim of making it easier for customer to transact with Betfair.
