Ukash in online casinos: closed in 2015, what replaced it

Ukash was an international prepaid voucher system: you bought a voucher with a unique code and used the code to pay online. It is no longer available. Ukash was closed in 2015, and its users were transferred to paysafecard. Below is how Ukash deposits used to work at Treasure Island Casino and what to use instead.

How the Ukash voucher worked

Casino customers could make a deposit into their personal betting account through the convenient and safe international online payment system Ukash, which operated until 2015. This system worked like a voucher: participants received a unique voucher code with which they could pay bills and make purchases online.

The advantage of this system was that all the information about the participants of the system was kept in complete confidentiality. Even when a participant paid money into another person's account or paid for a service, they did not transmit their personal data, and the whole transfer was performed by entering the voucher number.

Members of Ukash used to make all transfers without paying fees, and payments were made instantly.

If you wanted to make a deposit in our casino with the help of a voucher, you also had to identify and designate the amount you wanted credited to your personal player account. To do this, you followed the steps described below:

1. Go to the Flash version of the casino, to the “Cashier” (no longer possible: the Flash cashier and the voucher system have both closed).
2. In the item “Cash”, press “Deposit”, then choose the payment system Ukash (closed in 2015).
3. Enter your voucher and the deposit amount. The amount was entered in USD.
4. When the payment was processed, the amount of the deposit was credited to your account.

If the deposit was less than the amount of the voucher, the system would automatically generate a new receipt with the balance of the original voucher.

Ukash in 2026: closed since 2015

Ukash stopped operating in 2015, and its users were moved to paysafecard, another prepaid voucher system. Be cautious with any website that still offers to “pay by Ukash”: the service has been closed since 2015, old codes cannot be used for payments, and such a description is outdated at best. Paysafecard works on the same principle: you buy a voucher at a point of sale and pay with its code, without sharing bank details with the merchant.

What replaced Ukash after it closed

• Paysafecard, the direct successor that took over Ukash users in 2015; check whether the casino accepts it.
• Other prepaid vouchers sold in your country.
• Bank cards and e-wallets such as Skrill (formerly Moneybookers).
• Mobile payments, see the archived page about payments by SMS.

Prepaid vouchers and safe play

Vouchers help control spending: you cannot deposit more than the voucher is worth. But as a rule a voucher cannot receive winnings, so the casino will ask for another method, usually a bank account or an e-wallet, and for identity verification (KYC) before a payout. Buy vouchers only from official sellers, never share the code with anyone (including “support staff” who ask for it by phone), and play only at casinos with a licence you can check in the regulator's register. Online casinos are not legal everywhere, so check the law in your country. See the payment methods guide for other options.
