Cash Bingo Sites

CashWhile it might seem counterintuitive to talk of cash as a payment method for online bingo sites, it is an option that is popular with many players who use bingo sites which are part of big gambling conglomerates that include bricks and mortar betting shops.

Many of the traditional high street bookmakers have diversified from their sports betting roots to include various gaming products including bingo and some – as shown in the table below – allow customers to make cash deposits to and withdrawals from their online bingo accounts in their betting shops, which keeps things nice and simple.

Cash Benefits

The good thing about using cash is that you can only ever spend what you actually have in your hand (as opposed to, for instance, credit cards) so it makes budgeting very easy when it comes to your bingo playing. The major benefit, however, is realised by those who simply don’t trust online financial transactions, and given the extent of online fraud and phishing scams, we wouldn’t blame you for that. For those unwilling or just a bit wary of entering their financial details online, or indeed those who simply prefer paying for things using old fashioned cash, the bingo companies mentioned will be right up your street… literally! And with the cash being credited instantly to your bingo account, and withdrawals being processed there and then, all you have to do is stretch your legs and take a stroll to the bookie’s shop to deposit or withdraw your bingo funds.

Cash Disadvantages

The only real disadvantage of depositing or withdrawing in cash is the inconvenience of having to physically visit the shop in person, especially if there isn’t one of your bingo company’s shops in your local area. And while this method clearly avoids online fraud, carrying a bundle of notes to or from the bookie might not be the safest thing to do, depending on where you live.

How to Deposit and Withdraw Using Cash

Deposit

  • Open your bingo account and read the specific details of how to deposit in cash (you might need to set this up as a payment method on the site)
  • Take your cash to your local bookmaker and tell them you’d like to make a deposit to your bingo account
  • They will generally only need your Customer ID but take some other form of ID just in case, then they will take your cash and instantly credit it to your account

Withdraw

  • The details may vary from company to company but generally you will need ID (for instance the card you have used to deposit to your account, if applicable, or an account card given by the bingo company, plus formal identification) in order to withdraw
  • Give the staff member your bingo account details and let them know how much you’d like to withdraw
  • They’ll check the account and – all being well on that front – will give you the cash there and then
