New payment processor Ukash launches across Europe
Wednesday 11th April 2007
Online gambling fans can now turn to a new e-wallet for their playing needs after the recent launch of Ukash, a payment processor that is rolling out across Europe and is accepted by top names in the iGaming industry.
Ukash is welcomed by industry leaders such as Ladbrokes, 888.com, PartyPoker and Bwin as an alternative to making credit or debit payments online.
The facility was previously issued in the UK, Ireland, Spain and Germany, but has now expanded to include 16 additional European countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden.
Players can get Ukash at their nearest bank branch by completing a simple paying-in slip. An email or SMS message will then be sent out with an individual 19-digit Ukash voucher number. The voucher number can then be used at any participating website.
'Ukash has been a great success in the UK, Ireland, Spain and Germany and I am sure that the expansion across Europe will ensure that the success story continues,” says Mark Chirnside, Chief Executive Officer at Ukash.
