What is a casino voucher?
A voucher is a prepaid code you buy with cash (or via banking apps) at thousands of SA retailers. You enter the code at the casino cashier and the Rand value is added to your balance โ no bank account, debit card or personal banking details involved. Itโs the most private and budget-friendly way to deposit, and popular with players who donโt want gambling transactions on their bank statement or who prefer a strict cash limit.
1Voucher vs OTT Voucher
- 1Voucher โ sold at major retailers (Shoprite, Checkers, Pick n Pay, Boxer and more) and in banking apps. A single code holds a set Rand amount; you can often split or combine values.
- OTT Voucher โ widely available at tills and online, redeemable across many SA betting and casino sites. Works the same way: buy the code, enter it at the cashier.
Both are deposit methods only โ you canโt withdraw winnings back to a voucher.
