Entropay FAQ
Do I Need to Verify Before I Use Entropay?
You don’t need to go through the verification rigmarole with Entropay and the signup is very quick and easy with them. However, you will likely need to go through this with the online casino or gambling site of your choice.
Online casinos these days are very strict when it comes to potential money laundering and fraud. They run checks on all members that withdraw money from their site and if those checks don’t get the green light then they may ask for more information.
Fortunately, most casinos will now use automated processes that utilise things such as soft credit check and the electoral role to make sure you are who you say you are and if those things check out, everything will be okay. To avoid verification checks, just make sure you give them your real name, address, phone number and everything else they ask for. If they do ask for more details then don’t complain, just give it to them and you’ll be verified before you know it.
Is Entropay Secure?
Entropay is very secure. The website itself uses the latest encryption technology, as does the payment processing software. What’s more, because you are not giving your credit or debit card to online casinos, there is no risk of having your bank account details hacked or stolen. You can use your Entropay card and the money you have on it with relative impunity, knowing that even if the worst case scenario does happen then you will only lose the money that you have on that card and will not be exposing your sensitive financial information to scammers, hackers and thieves.
Is Entropay Anonymous?
As mentioned previously in this guide, every payment that you make using Entropay will simply show the name of “Entropay” on your statement. Even if you add money to your card using a debit/credit card and then use that to gamble on an online casino, the name of the casino will not show on your statement.
If you are concerned about your anonymity and want to stay hidden online, then this is the perfect way to do it. What’s more, Entropay’s privacy policies and terms guarantee that your information will not be sold or given away to any third-party, which means that your shopping habits will not be exposed to people who can use them to spam you.
Can You Use Entropay in India?
There are very few popular web wallets and online payment services available in India. It’s a surprise considering how big of a market this is, but it’s been that way for sometime. We have spoken with Indian players though and apparently Entropay can be used here. You may need to jump through a few hoops to use it on certain sites, but it seems to be available and that’s good news for Indians struggling to find a reliable service.
Is Entropay Cheap?
There are some fees involved, but these fees are actually less than many other options out there. Entropay is cheaper than a PaySafeCard and it is also cheaper than Skrill. However, it’s not the same service as either of these and you could argue that you get what you pay for. It’s good to have options in a marketplace that is usually dominated by big players, and Entropay is definitely a viable option.
Is Entropay Quick?
It is very quick, just as quick as a debit card in fact. The only delays come from the merchant, who may hold onto withdrawals before releasing them. They do this so that they can run some checks to make sure you are who you say you are.
