Online Casinos Accepting Apple Pay

Benefits Of Using Apple Pay

Apple Pay lets you use your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad or Mac to pay instead of using a card. You link your credit or debit card to the Wallet app once, and after that you can pay with a tap or a click.

In a store, you hold your iPhone or watch near the card machine and confirm with Face ID or Touch ID, with no card and no PIN. For online payments or apps, you choose Apple Pay at checkout and confirm the same way.

Apple Pay is built around security. Your personal and financial information is not shared with the casino. Apple Pay doesn’t send your real card number; it creates a unique digital code (a token) for each transaction, which keeps your card details private.

Apple Pay itself doesn’t charge players a fee, so any fees come from your bank or card provider. It works with multiple currencies, including ZAR, as long as your bank card supports it, and the casino will process the deposit in ZAR if it accepts that currency.

You can also link multiple credit or debit cards and pick the one you want to use for each payment.

Any Disadvantages?

• Apple Pay usually can’t be used for withdrawals, so you will need another method to cash out your winnings.
• Not all casinos accept Apple Pay, so double-check before you sign up.
• It is restricted to Apple’s ecosystem, so you need an Apple device to use it.
• Bank support varies. Many South African banks support Apple Pay; check with yours.

How To Make A Deposit Using Apple Pay At An Online Casino

Apple Pay is among the easiest and quickest ways to deposit. The only part that takes effort is setting it up on your device first. On iOS 8.1 or later you don’t need to download a separate app, because it is built into the Wallet app.

• Open the Wallet app on your iPhone.
• Tap the + symbol at the top-right of the screen to add a new card. Follow the prompts to scan your card with the iPhone’s camera or enter the details manually.
• Verify your card by entering the code sent by text or email. Once it is accepted, your card is added to Apple Pay.
• If you have multiple cards, choose which one is the default for Apple Pay payments.

Once Apple Pay is set up, make sure the casino you want to play at accepts it, then follow these steps:

1. Log in to your casino account, or create one if you are new to the site.
2. Open the cashier, deposit or banking section.
3. Select Apple Pay from the list of payment options.
4. Enter how much you want to deposit. Make sure the casino’s deposit limits work for your budget.
5. If you are using an iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, confirm the payment with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. On a Mac, confirm through your Mac’s authentication settings.
6. That’s it. Deposits are usually quick; check the cashier to see when your funds arrive.

How To Cash Out Your Funds Using Apple Pay

Apple Pay usually can’t be used for casino withdrawals, so pick another cash-out method, such as bank transfer, cards, e-wallets or crypto. Our guide to the safest casino payment options for South African players will help you compare the alternatives.

Apple Pay App

Apple Pay doesn’t have a standalone mobile app. It is built into the Apple Wallet app on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. As long as your iPhone is an iPhone 6 or newer and runs iOS 8.1 or later, the app is already there. Add a card and you can start using it.

Apple Pay is not officially available on Android. Third-party apps claiming to offer it are unofficial and not recommended because of the security risks.

Banking Fees

Apple Pay itself doesn’t charge players a fee. Fees may still apply from your bank or card provider and from the casino, so check with your bank and the casino’s cashier before you deposit.

Customer Support & Security

Apple Pay support is available through the Apple Pay Support page, which explains how to set up Apple Pay, manage cards and view transactions. You can update your default card, add or remove cards and manage preauthorized payments. For personal help, use the Apple Support app or the Get Support section on the website.

Apple Pay uses biometric authentication so only you can approve payments. Each transaction is protected by tokenization, which replaces your card details with a unique number, so merchants never see your real card info. The Secure Element, a dedicated chip in your device, stores your payment information, and encryption protects your transaction data. If your device is lost or stolen, you can use Find My to suspend Apple Pay.
