Prepaid Betting on YesPlay: Your 2025 Quick Start Guide

If you prefer not to link a bank account or credit card, prepaid betting is the answer. With a prepaid card you can load money, stay in control, and keep your personal finance details private. YesPlay supports several prepaid options, from gift cards to special betting vouchers, and the process is plain‑simple once you know the steps.

Why Choose Prepaid Betting?

First off, prepaid cards let you set a strict budget. You buy a card for a set amount, load it, and once that amount is spent you’re done – no accidental overspend. It also speeds up verification: many prepaid cards are pre‑approved for online gambling, so you skip the longer bank‑link checks. For South African players, prepaid vouchers like Hollywood or 1Voucher work great on YesPlay and avoid the hassle of FICA paperwork for small deposits.

Security is another win. Because you never expose your main account numbers, the risk of fraud drops dramatically. If a card gets compromised you can cancel it without affecting your main banking. Finally, prepaid betting fits travelers or occasional bettors who just want to enjoy a game or two without long‑term commitments.

Step‑by‑Step: Deposit with a Prepaid Card

1. Get the right card. Look for a prepaid card accepted by YesPlay – common ones include Hollywood vouchers, 1Voucher, and standard prepaid Visa/Mastercard. Check the card’s value and expiry date before buying.

2. Register or log in. Open the YesPlay app or website, then sign in. If you’re new, the registration guide (see our "How to Use the YesPlay App (2025)" article) walks you through verification, but for small prepaid deposits you can often skip the full KYC until you withdraw larger sums.

3. Go to the Deposit section. In the app, tap “Deposit”, choose “Prepaid Card” as the method, and select the card type you have.

4. Enter the card details. Input the card number, PIN, and the amount you want to add. Double‑check the numbers – a single typo will throw an error.

5. Confirm the transaction. YesPlay will process the deposit instantly in most cases. You’ll see the new balance in your wallet right away. If you get a “code not working” message, verify that the card isn’t expired, that the amount is within the card’s limit, and that the card is meant for online gambling (some gift cards are retail‑only).

6. Start betting. With cash in your YesPlay wallet, you can place sports bets, spin casino games, or claim a voucher bonus. Our "How to Get a YesPlay Voucher" guide shows how to turn that deposit into extra play credit.
