Paysafecard casinos take a prepaid 16-digit PIN in place of bank or card details. In Canada the voucher is sold for cash at Canada Post, Esso, Mobil, Canadian Tire Gas+ and other outlets, and Paysafecard caps payments at $400 CAD per transaction. It is almost always a deposit-only method, so plan how winnings will come out before you play.
Among the provincially licensed operators in our records, only PlayOJO lists Paysafecard; most other paysafecard casino sites that accept Canadians are offshore. Online gambling is 19+ (18+ in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec), and a voucher bought with cash is still gambling money; our responsible gambling page covers budgets and limits.
Where to buy Paysafecard in Canada
Paysafecard’s Canadian site names Canada Post, Esso, Mobil and Canadian Tire Gas+ among its retail partners, so the PIN is widely available. You pay the cashier and receive a printed receipt with the PIN. Registered users of the Paysafecard account can also buy online; the payment options for online purchases, including whether a credit card is accepted, are set by Paysafecard and we did not confirm them.
The $400 cap applies per transaction for both unregistered and registered users. Paysafecard charges a monthly maintenance fee on unused balances from the second month; the amount is on its fees page.
Using the PIN in a casino cashier
In the cashier, choose Paysafecard, enter the amount and type the PIN. The amount is taken from the voucher balance and any remainder stays on the PIN. Some operators ask for a registered account instead of a bare PIN: bet365’s Ontario help pages, for example, require a myPaysafe account with a verified email and phone number.
Paysafecard casino sites: PlayOJO and the offshore rest
The table shows operators whose payment lists in our records include Paysafecard. PlayOJO is registered in Ontario and Alberta. The others are offshore: licensed in Malta or Alderney and not licensed by any province, so provincial complaint routes do not apply to them.

A “best paysafecard casino” is still a casino first: the licence, the bonus terms and the payout route matter more than the voucher. Our low deposit casinos page covers sites with small minimums.
Getting winnings out after a voucher deposit
You cannot send money back onto a printed PIN. Operators usually pay winnings by bank transfer, Interac or an e-wallet in your name; bet365 Ontario, for instance, pays Paysafecard depositors by bank transfer. The site may ask for identity documents first, so a prepaid deposit does not make the account anonymous.
Privacy, lost PINs and scams
A PIN works like cash: anyone who has it can spend it, and there is no chargeback. Keep the receipt until the balance is used. Be wary of anyone who asks you to pay a fee, a tax or a prize release charge with Paysafecard PINs; the Canada Revenue Agency warns that you never pay taxes or fees to collect a Canadian lottery prize.
