Why Use ePro for Online Casino Deposits?
ePro is a private company that handles credit and debit card payments. Rather than keeping card details on a casino website, the service operates as an intermediary between the customer and the online casinos receiving the deposit.
Online casino customers may use ePro for 3 main reasons:
- Some card providers block direct payments to online casinos. ePro serves as a payment intermediary, which can obscure the link between the cardholder and the casino.
- Certain countries prohibit casinos and banks from accepting credit-card payments into online gambling accounts.
- Some customers want gambling-related transactions to be less visible in their bank account activity.
From 14 April 2020, UK players were no longer authorized to use credit cards at online casinos. The source linked that restriction to preventing gambling debt and expected ePro use to grow in the UK as UKGC casinos began accepting it as a payment option.
ePro History
EMP Corp owns ePro, which was created to give eCommerce sites a gateway for processing customer credit and debit card payments. The company started operations in 2010. It later became known for fast processing and fraud detection services.
Licensing
The company is based in Luxembourg, an EU member country, but is not a financial institution and therefore is not regulated by EU financial laws. It must follow EU consumer-rights and privacy laws. For disputes involving ePro, users may find information through the EU government’s EU Online Dispute Resolution service.
ePro Services
Using ePro involves several EMP Corp services. The process is described as purchasing an e-voucher, converting it into a temporary e-wallet balance, then transferring those funds to the casino through an automated process.
ePro is one of the services offered under the EMP Corp brand. Other services named by the source include:
- Prepaid Services
- MyWallet
- E-Voucher
- CashHlib
- Back-office solutions
How Do ePro and My Casino Connect to My Bank Account?
Selecting ePro sends the customer to a separate pop-up window to complete the payment. Encrypted security certificates are used to create a protected payment connection between the customer and casino.
How Do I Deposit at an Online Casino with ePro?
- Choose ePro in the casino’s payment area
- Type the deposit amount into the ePro pop-up window
- Enter your credit or debit card information
- Confirm the payment and wait for it to be approved
- The casino balance is credited instantly
Can I Withdraw from an Online Casino Using ePro?
ePro is not available for casino withdrawals.
Does ePro Charge a Fee?
Because ePro operates between the customer and casino, a small service fee may apply. Many casinos absorb this charge to attract customers.
Benefits of Using ePro
For customers whose bank blocks card payments to online casinos, ePro may offer another way to deposit. The source presents the method as fast and reliable, and describes it as including fraud protection and customer support.
Drawbacks of Using ePro
ePro cannot be used to withdraw casino funds, so customers need another way to cash out. Each deposit also requires a separate transaction and re-entry of card details.
