SnapScan & Scan to Pay
Scan-to-pay means you fund your CasinOnline account by scanning a QR code with your phone instead of typing card numbers at the cashier. SnapScan is the best-known app for this, and some South African banks let you scan a payment code straight from their banking app too. You load your cards into the app once, then pay from your phone each time. These guides cover the scan flow, why a scan sometimes fails, and what it costs.

How to deposit with SnapScan
Open the SnapScan app, scan the QR code the cashier shows, check the amount, and confirm — most payments clear in about 30 seconds. You can also use Scan to Pay inside some bank apps, like FNB, to scan the same kind of code. See how to deposit with SnapScan for both flows.

A scan can fail for a few reasons: you used the wrong app for the code, your card hit a bank gambling block, or online purchases are switched off on the card. Each has a quick fix. See why a SnapScan deposit fails for what to check before you try again.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the SnapScan app to deposit?
Not always. SnapScan is the best-known option, but some banks, including FNB, let you scan a payment code from inside their own banking app using Scan to Pay. Use the app the cashier's code is built for.
Does SnapScan charge a fee to deposit?
No. SnapScan does not charge a fee to deposit at CasinOnline. You only pay your normal bank and data charges.
Can I withdraw winnings to SnapScan?
No. SnapScan is a deposit method only. Withdrawals from most South African betting sites are paid out by bank EFT.
My SnapScan deposit was declined. Why?
Usually the wrong app for the code, a bank gambling block on the underlying card, or online purchases switched off. If the card keeps blocking, instant EFT is an alternative.
