SID Instant EFP

The SID payment method is well trusted by South African players because it was devised specifically with South Africa in mind. As a method of electronic funds transfer (EFT), SID can be used whether a player owns a credit card or not. Because this online casino payment method uses online banking accounts, players don’t even need a debit card in order to use it. In order to use SID you’ll be taken directly to your account on your bank’s website and funds can then be transferred directly your account with your chosen online casino.

Using SID for casino deposits

The most popular banks in South Africa offer this convenient method of depositing including First National Bank (FNB), Standard Bank, Nedbank and ABSA. When using SID to deposit, your personal information and bank account details aren’t directly revealed to the online casino, plus this type of transfer protects you from unauthorised payments up to a value of R5000.

You’ll need to have an active bank account with a bank that allows SID payments in order to use this method, but you won’t need to register for the service or open a separate account in order to use SID. Deposits made using this service are completed instantly, so you won’t have to wait long to play with your funds at an online casino.

Helpfully, SID can be used for withdrawing from online casinos but you may need to wait up to two days to receive your funds. However this isn’t a long wait for such a convenient service, which can see you depositing and withdrawing using the same payment method.
