Ukash is the very latest way to fund your online casino accounts. It is a voucher based system and works in much the same way as top-up cards do for Pay As You Go mobile phones in the UK.

The banking industry was given a 270 day period to create a system that could identify online casino transactions across a spectrum of banking options such as bank wire, ACH, eChecks and credit cards.
