EcoCard

ecoCard is associated with the e-wallet historically branded ecoPayz, which was rebranded to Payz in 2023. The wallet lets users hold a balance and pay online without sharing bank details, with a linked prepaid card for spending and withdrawals. Current customers are generally directed to the Payz brand; ecoCard is kept here for legacy continuity.

EcoCard was the prepaid MasterCard offered with the e-wallet that traded as ecoPayz and is now marketed as Payz. If you’re not familiar with betting using EcoPayz, it’s basically an e-wallet that can be used to make secure purchases and payments online. An EcoPayz online betting account serves as a safe place to store funds, make deposits and receive payouts.

Betting sites that list this wallet now generally show it as Payz rather than EcoCard, so look for the current brand name in the cashier and be selective about where you play.

How to Bet Online With ecoPayz Card

You can open the wallet by visiting EcoPayz.com or Payz.com and signing up for an account. This account works sort of like PayPal in that it can be loaded with funds and then used to make purchases and deposits online. Your EcoAccount is where you’ll log in to check your balance, upload funds and request your EcoCard.

Log in to your account and you’ll see a place to apply for your prepaid card. This is not a standard credit card and it isn’t attached to your bank account, so approval is pretty much a guarantee. You can then load your card with funds and use that to buy things online or fund your gambling account.

The drawback is that you need to transfer funds to your EcoCard every time you want to use it. Remember, this card cannot just draw off the funds in your bank account. It can only be used to spend money that you have uploaded to your ecoAccount. There’s an extra step involved when you pay with EcoCard, but it’s worth it for the peace of mind.

You may also use this card in the real world anywhere MasterCard is accepted.

Prepaid Virtual Card

EcoPayz also released a prepaid virtual card that works like the EcoCard except it only exists online. If you make frequent purchases online, the ecoVirtualcard is highly recommended. It offers even greater security than the standard EcoCard.

Prepaid debit cards are inherently more secure than personal debit cards because they aren’t linked to personal bank accounts. That alone is an advantage, but the EcoVirtualcard takes it a step further: it expires after each use. This is a one-time payment method attached to your ecoAccount balance. Once you’re approved for the card, you get a new one every time you make a deposit or buy something online. The risk of your card being lost or stolen is practically zero.

Adding Funds to Your EcoCard

Topping up your ecoAccount allows you to spend money with your EcoCard and ecoVirtualcard. You can log in to your ecoAccount to choose from dozens of funding methods that range from credit cards, bank transfers to stopping in at your local bank and dropping off cash. Here are just a few of the many methods that you can use to top up your account:

• AstroPay Card

• eKonto

• Giropay

• iDeal

• Local Bank Deposit

• Visa / MasterCard

• Sofort

• Paysafecard

ecoPayz Account Levels

All eco account holders are assigned an account level based on activity and account verification. Your account level determines how much money you can deposit, how many ecoVirtualcard payments you can make each day and more.

When you first sign up for an account, you start out as a “Classic” account holder. Classic accounts are subject to strict limits and come with limited features. It’s best to upgrade to a Silver account as quickly as possible by sending in a copy of your proof of ID and proof of address. All you have to do is scan a copy of your photo ID and a utility bill and then e-mail it to the EcoPayz support people.

If this sounds worrisome, the operator is a licensed payment business and is obliged to ask for proof of identity and residence. Check which entity and regulator cover your own account: the ecoPayz-branded service is now operated by EcoPayz Georgia LLC under a Georgian licence, not by a UK-regulated firm.

Once you’re upgraded to a Silver account, you can use EcoCard and ecoVirtualcard to their fullest extents. Additional account upgrades give you access to even higher spending limits. You’ll be upgraded through the various account levels based on your total spending activity.
