Zimpler Casinos

The best online casinos that accept Zimpler

UK players may find that, although the use of Zimpler is growing among our favourite sites, its overall availability is somewhat limited. In truth, the Scandinavian venture is still in its infancy as an international provider. However, given the strong influence of Swedish companies on the casino scene, it’s not hard to imagine that Zimpler’s service will continue to grow in terms of market share. After all, it does come from the part of the world that gave us software developers such as NetEnt, so there’s every reason to trust Zimpler know how to make an idea take off.

Nevertheless, while Zimpler is not necessarily widely accepted, its reach is far from non-existent – and if you do find a Zimpler casino, it’s definitely worth considering using the service. Zimpler offers a lot more freedom than many of the other phone-based payment solutions on the market, and allows you to track your deposits with a greater degree of confidence than many of its competitors.

How do I make a deposit using Zimpler?

Zimpler’s great strength lies in its versatility. On signing up, you can add as many cards to your Zimpler account as you wish. When the time comes to make a payment to an online casino – or any other service that accepts Zimpler payments – you will then be asked to enter your phone number, along with a unique PIN code that will remain the same for all future transactions. You then choose a payment card, and your card provider pays Zimpler. In turn, Zimpler pays the site you are using – which, in this case, is the casino. The whole transaction is confirmed by a text message from Zimpler asking for your permission to pay by replying directly.

However, where Zimpler differs from a lot of pay-by-phone apps is that you can choose to make the payment directly from the app, without necessarily using a debit card to fund the transaction. Instead, you can generate a payment from Zimpler, who then present you with a bill sent by text message. You have fourteen days to make a payment, so it’s essentially a case of Zimpler fronting you the money; provided you settle the bill within two weeks of receiving the bill, you can continue to use the service for as long as you wish.

Essentially, Zimpler is an extra layer between you and the casino at which you are playing. If you’re not comfortable sharing your card details with gaming providers, you can use this additional layer as protection and still enjoy the convenience of making fast payments.

How do I request a withdrawal using Zimpler?

Using Zimpler at online casinos is very much a one-way street. That is to say you can use the service to make payments to your chosen casino, but cannot use it to make withdrawals. This may frustrate some players, particularly those who enjoy the convenience of making payments using Zimpler and who would like to apply that same ease of use to the withdrawal process – but alas, doing so is not possible at this point in time.

Due to Zimpler’s inability to process withdrawals, you’ll need to find a suitable alternative when seeking to withdraw from your account. The most straightforward way to withdraw from a bookmaker is by directly using a debit card, although this naturally means adding your card information to a casino site, and in most cases also having to make a deposit using that card. Given that many people use Zimpler to avoid that eventuality, you may need another method of withdrawal; bank transfer and cheque are the most suitable options if you’d rather keep your card details to yourself. However, casinos do differ on the withdrawal options they provide, so it’s advisable to check you’re satisfied with the options before depositing to a casino in the first instance.

What is the minimum deposit amount?

When it comes to depositing with Zimpler, you may find yourself competing against two different sets of rules: Zimpler’s, and the casinos.

Most casinos will have their own rules as to how much, and how little, you are permitted to deposit in a single transaction. Additionally, Zimpler have their own specific rules which may, or may not, completely replicate the rules the casino applies when it comes to withdrawing. How this works in practice is that some casinos may have a minimum deposit amount of £1, but Zimpler’s minimum is higher, at £3. In these cases, whatever the casino says, you will not be permitted to deposit any less than £3 – if your requested deposit is lower than this, Zimpler will refuse it.

Your maximum deposit using Zimpler is also capped, at £1,000. Again, this may not match up precisely with a casino’s own rules. If a casino has a hard limit of £500 for deposits, they will not accept any more than that regardless of Zimpler’s higher limit. Equally, even if the casino allows you to deposit up to £1,500 at once, you’ll still only be able to deposit £1,000 using Zimpler. Only deposits that meet the criteria of both Zimpler and the casino can be processed, so be cautious, and take the time to read through the terms and conditions of each casino you use in order to be certain of the exact parameters that are in use.

What is the minimum withdrawal amount?

As we’ve covered, Zimpler is not a payment method that permits withdrawals, so the question of withdrawal limits is not something dictated by Zimpler themselves. As a result, you’ll need to choose a different method for withdrawals, as well as the casinos own limits regarding withdrawal amounts. There’s no hard and fast rule here: some casinos have very low withdrawal thresholds (perhaps less than £10), while others are far higher. You’ll therefore have to check the terms of each casino you use for their specific minimum withdrawal amounts, and – given Zimpler can only be used to deposit – the withdrawal options that are available to you.

Why should I use Zimpler to gamble at online casinos?

It’s clear what the minds behind the service were thinking when they gave it its name. The major advantage can be summed up in three words: Zimpler is simpler! Once you’ve registered your payment cards with the service, you can make your deposits with a few clicks and be in the thick of the action in no time at all. Indeed, you don’t need to register any cards at all, thanks to the ability to let Zimpler make the payments and settle up with them later.

Sure, Zimpler has its drawbacks. With any casino payment method, it’s always more streamlined if you can withdraw to the same source used for your payment. This service could win a few more points by allowing withdrawals, but that’s a minor downside compared to the obvious – and substantial – benefits the service is able to provide.
