Casinos accepting deposits with Sofort Überweisung

This German payment service has been operating since 2005 and has expanded beyond Germany since then. Now Sofort Überweisung is working with many banks not only in Germany, but also in Austria, Italy, Poland, Spain, Hungary, France. So in the European Union, paying for purchases with Sofort is convenient and does not cause problems.

Sofort was founded in Germany in 2005, initially was a local payment service, but eventually entered the international market. Since 2014 belongs to the Swedish group of companies Klarna. This is not a payment system, but a payment service, that is, Sofort does not have its own internal wallet, which is why it differs from classic electronic payment systems.

Payment services of this type are needed in order to facilitate the work with your bank account. Instead of going to a bank branch and arranging a transfer of money from their account to the seller's account, the client can do the same through the payment service.

The only thing you need is that your bank must be a partner of Sofort. Work with him is supported by hundreds of large and small banks in Germany, Austria, Italy and other European countries. So a resident of the EU should not experience problems with this.

In terms of support, payment through Sofort is supported by more than 25,000 online stores. The support from the online casino is also quite good. The service processes more than 2 million transactions per month, the client base is growing, so the service has a bright future.

Advantages and disadvantages of Sofort

Of the advantages, we note:

• Ease of use - you don't even need to register to use Sofort. If you have a bank account and the bank is a partner of the service, you can use it;
• transaction confirmation speed. Payment is almost instantaneous, you will have to wait a couple of seconds;
• security and anonymity. PIN, TAN codes are used for confirmation. The PIN code is used for general access to the account, and the TAN is a one-time code that is generated to confirm one specific transaction;
• no commission is charged from the client from the payment service;
• unlike Many other similar Sofort services allow you to withdraw money from your online casino account. True, not all online casinos have such an opportunity, this should be clarified in technical support.

Not without drawbacks either:

• only 1 currency is supported - euro. If the casino account is opened in another currency, then you will lose a little on the conversion;
• you can use the service without problems mainly in European countries. Sofort's partner banks are mainly located there.

If we compare the advantages and disadvantages, then Sofort stands out from the competition in that it allows you to withdraw funds to a bank account. The opportunity is really rare, usually payment services of this type work in one direction.

How does an online casino deposit work?

You can check whether your casino supports this method of deposit by going to the Payments section on the casino website. Usually Sofort is present.

Account replenishment occurs in the following order:

• Sofort is selected on the casino website as the method of replenishing the account, the amount of replenishment is indicated;
• after that, the client is redirected to the payment service page;
• here you need to enter the full name of the account holder, account number and other data from your bank account;
• using the TAN code, the transaction is confirmed directly. Money is debited from the account instantly and appear on the account of the seller. In the case of a casino, you can continue playing immediately after payment.

As for the support from online casinos, their number reaches about a hundred. Almost every major European casino supports the option of depositing an account through Sofort.

Conclusion

The Sofort payment service can be used to fund your casino account, but only if you have an account with a partner bank. Otherwise, this method will not be available to you. In Europe, there are no problems with this, most banks, even small ones, work with Sofort. Outside European countries, there is no guarantee that the bank will cooperate with this service. Collapse
