aCoin Voucher

aCoin is a digital prepaid voucher that makes paying for things super easy and secure. Instead of using your bank card or cash, you can buy aCoin Vouchers and use them to pay at certain stores and online sites like gambling sites in South Africa. Think of it as a prepaid card, but fully digital. YesPlay is currently the only online casino in South Africa that accepts aCoin, but watch this space – hopefully more casinos will realise how convenient this payment method online is.

What is an aCoin Voucher & How Does It Work?

An aCoin Voucher is like a digital cash card. It’s a simple, cashless way to pay without needing a bank account or credit card. When you buy an aCoin Voucher, you get a unique 16-digit PIN. To pay, just enter this PIN at checkout on any website or store that accepts aCoin.

If your purchase is less than the voucher amount, the rest of the money stays on the voucher for later use. Just make sure to use it before it expires.

What Does an aCoin Voucher Look Like?

There’s no physical card – your aCoin Voucher comes as a 16-digit PIN. You’ll receive it via SMS, email, or on the website where you bought it.

How to Buy an aCoin Voucher

How to Use aCoin Voucher for Online Betting and Gaming

aCoin is not as widely supported as its competitors. There is only one South African real money casino that accepts aCoin Voucher deposits: YesPlay.

To deposit using an aCoin voucher at YesPlay, you have to:

1. Log into your account

2. Access the Cashier section of the site

3. From the available payment methods, choose aCoin

4. Enter the desired amount, then paste or type in the 16-digit voucher code

5. Redeem

The amount of your voucher will show up in your bankroll instantly. Note that you won’t be able to redeem your aCoin voucher partially, only the entire amount. Also, most casinos require you to play through the entire amount deposited using a voucher before you can initiate a withdrawal.

Security and Reliability

aCoin claims to be a secure and reliable payment method - and so far, their track record seems very good. You only need to be careful about not losing the receipt with your PIN or not disclosing it to third parties. Other than that, prepaid vouchers are as secure as they can be.

Troubleshooting

Your voucher code may sometimes be declined when you try to redeem it. In this case, you should double-check if you typed the PIN code correctly. If you still can’t redeem it, you should contact the merchant, and they will handle the matter from now on.

If you need to contact aCoin, you can contact the company by visiting its website (acoin.co.za) and tapping “Support”. This will open a live chat window where you can ask any question not covered in the FAQ.
