Google Pay Casinos - Safe Deposit

Google Pay was launched back in 2015 at the Google I/O under Android Pay. It was built to complement Google Wallet, which had been released in 2011. During that time, Google Pay used Softcard technology.

The service was compatible with approximately 70% of all Android devices, with more than 700,000 merchants accepting it as a payment option. And on January 8, 2018, Google announced that Google Wallet and Android Pay would merge to create Google Pay.

Google Pay adopted the features of the two merged services and extended the platform to web-based payments. The rebranding began on February 20, 2018, when the app’s design was updated. The new design displayed a list of nearby stores that supports the payment services, which could be customized.

Google Pay also provided a new API, which merchants could add the payment method to apps, websites, and Google Assistant. It was then that the service started to become available on betting sites. As Google Pay’s popularity soared to new heights, more and more online bookmakers continued to add it to their platforms. Currently, Google Pay is most popular in the United States and most of Europe.

Currently, Google Pay is mostly used as a deposit method and does not support withdrawals on any betting site. This means that eSports players can use the service to make deposits but use it for withdrawals. This should not be a major concern to any bettor as most bookies usually offer a wide variety of other withdrawal options.

Punters thus only need to choose an alternative that suits them the most. When selecting an alternative payment method, players need to consider the withdrawal processing time, cost of withdrawal, ease of use, and withdrawal limits, among many other factors. Ideally, it should offer the most convenience and benefits per the punters’ needs.

It is worth noting that some online bookmakers list Google Pay on their withdrawal options. Players playing on such platforms should be alive to the fact that withdrawals will be sent to the original payment method, typically credit and debit cards, and not to Google Pay.

All that is required to withdraw is to enter the amount to withdraw and other necessary details, and the funds will be delivered to the account fast.

Now that Google Pay does not cater to online casino withdrawals, players have to do due diligence when making withdrawals. This means that things like withdrawal times, limits, and fees depend on the chosen method.

Users must download and install the Google Pay app on their Android smartphones to access the payment services. The devices must be running on Lollipop 5.0 or a higher version of Android to support the payment service.

Users then have to open the app and follow the prompts displayed. That usually involves signing into a google account and filling in some details regarding personal details, banking information, and user preferences.

Users must then add a debit or credit card to the created account. Adding a card is as simple as filling in the card information, including card name, number, CVV, and expiry date. In most cases, users will also be required to set up a screen lock for the app, which helps with security. The screen lock can be PIN, pattern, password, or fingerprint.

However, it does not support facial recognition, Knock to Unlock, Smart Unlock, or other such options. Users can then add additional payment methods if they wish to, and the account setup process will be complete. It is essential to note that Google Pay is intended only for users above 13 years.
