Payz is the current name of ecoPayz, one of the older e-wallets in online gambling, which rebranded in 2023. It is still accepted at a range of international casinos and has historically been popular in markets such as Canada, Japan and parts of Europe. Players who already have an account often keep using it for fast casino payouts, though it is no longer available in every country.
How to deposit with Payz at an online casino
Payz works like a classic stored-value wallet. You register, verify your identity and load money from the funding methods offered in your country. At the casino you choose Payz, which some cashiers still label as ecoPayz, and either log in to your Payz account in a pop-up or enter your account number before approving the payment.
Availability has changed over the years. ecoPayz stopped serving customers in the United Kingdom in 2021, and some casinos removed the method as a result. If you see ecoPayz in an older cashier or guide, it refers to the same service. If you cannot find Payz at a casino, check both names before assuming it is unsupported.
Payz accounts have tiered levels, and moving up a level through extra verification and account activity raises your limits. New accounts start on a basic level, which may be enough for casual play but can restrict larger deposits.
Payz accounts can hold more than one currency, and the account currency you choose at sign-up affects which conversions you pay later. If you mostly play in euros, opening the account in euros avoids converting on every casino payment and every payout. Changing currency later is possible in some cases but may involve a conversion of your existing balance.
- Open a Payz account and complete identity verification.
- Load your wallet with a method available in your country.
- Select Payz, or ecoPayz on older cashiers, in the casino deposit page.
- Enter the amount and your Payz account number or email if requested.
- Log in to Payz and approve the transaction.
- Confirm that the funds have been credited at the casino.
- Keep the Payz transaction confirmation as a record of your deposit.
Withdrawing with Payz
In our data, 40 of the 43 casinos that accept Payz also pay withdrawals to it. The fastest crypto and e-wallet payouts come from 22Casino (15 minutes).
Payz supports withdrawals at most casinos that offer it, and payouts usually land in the wallet within 24 hours of casino approval. As with other wallets, the casino typically requires you to withdraw to the same Payz account you deposited from, and the account name must match yours.
From the wallet you can transfer money to your bank account, which takes a few banking days and may carry a fee, or keep the balance for future deposits. Payz has offered a linked prepaid card in some markets, but card products and their availability have changed over time, so check what is currently offered in your country.
If a casino has removed Payz since your deposit, contact support. Casinos normally offer an alternative withdrawal route, often a bank transfer, after confirming you own the original account.
Fees, limits and processing times
Casinos usually do not charge for Payz payments. Payz may charge for certain top-up methods, for transfers to a bank, for currency conversion and for long inactivity, and these fees vary by account level and country. Check the fee schedule in your account before choosing how to load or empty the wallet.
Your account level sets the main limits, and the casino adds its own. Deposits are credited instantly, and withdrawals to Payz are typically completed within a day once approved. The bank transfer out of the wallet is the slower step. Higher Payz account levels can also come with lower fees and larger limits, so a regular user may find that completing extra verification is worth it, while an occasional player can usually stay on the entry level without problems.
Payz and casino bonuses
Across the 36 casinos above where we have bonus terms, the average welcome bonus wagering is 38x.
Some casinos treat Payz the same as Skrill and Neteller and exclude it from welcome offers, while others accept it without restriction. The bonus terms are the only reliable guide, so search them for Payz and ecoPayz before making a qualifying deposit.
If you claim a bonus with a Payz deposit, remember that wagering usually has to be completed or the bonus forfeited before a withdrawal to Payz is processed. Keep a record of the deposit confirmation from your Payz account in case the casino needs proof that the qualifying payment came from you, especially if the cashier still showed the old ecoPayz name.
Is Payz safe for online gambling?
Payz is operated by a regulated electronic money provider, which must keep customer funds separate from its own and carry out identity checks. Paying through the wallet keeps your bank and card details away from the casino. As with any e-wallet, balances are safeguarded rather than protected by a deposit guarantee.
The main practical risk is availability: if Payz leaves a market, as happened in the UK, you will need to move your balance out. Keep only what you need in the wallet, withdraw winnings regularly, and set deposit limits at the casino so that a convenient wallet does not lead to spending more than you planned.
