eWallets

(Skrill, Neteller)

eWallets like Neteller and Skrill have been dominant in online gambling globally.

They serve as electronic accounts where you can put money in and move it around without revealing your bank or card information each time. In South Africa, however, there is variability in what is being accepted.

For example, Betway and Sportingbet welcome Skrill, but not necessarily by smaller or South Africa-exclusive operators.

Advantages

Privacy: The operators never even see your card or bank details.
Quick transactions: Deposits are instant; withdrawals are often faster than standard bank transfers.
Multi-currency: Handy if you play around with offshore sportsbooks.

Disadvantages

Not everywhere: Some local betting portals do not offer eWallet services.
Potential fees: Fees for withdrawal to your bank, currency conversion, and even inactivity can surprise you.
Verification can be required: eWallet services often ask for KYC (Know Your Customer) documents, which can be time-consuming.
