Indian Mega Moolah fans can use Google Pay and UPI for Live Casino gaming

If you can't get to a real world casino to enjoy a little casino gaming, then the next best thing for many is to load up a trusted online casino site that offers an extensive range of Live Casino games for the player to play.

In India, live casino gaming is very popular with players and of course, every savvy player is always on the lookout for a casino site that offers a wide choice of payment methods, alongside an excellent choice of games.

Having a choice of payment methods to pick from is always a positive thing as different people prefer different methods to bank online. Some may not want to have their card details entered on their device and may prefer a method that is more secure in the online environment. For others, they may want to adopt exciting new technologies that allow for payments to be made in many new and creative ways.

For others, simply having a greater choice of payment options may suit them, so whatever the reason people like a variety of payment methods, it is always good news when casinos add new options for players to use to fund their accounts.

Well that is precisely what has happened at Jackpot City Casino, where Indian players can now access a couple of exciting new payment methods to play the wide range of Live Casino games on the site.

Let's take a look now at the two different payment methods that are now available before we take a closer look at the Jackpot City site and the Live Casino games that it offers.

Google Pay

The second payment method available for Indian players that want to deposit at Jackpot City Casino is the very popular and well-known, Google Pay service. This payment method works by downloading an app onto your mobile from Google Play or the App Store, or you can use a browser and visit the pay.google.com site.

Once you have done this, you can log into the app using your Google Account details (if you have not already got a Google Account, creating one is quick, easy and best of all, free). Once logged in, you simply add your choice of payment methods to the app.

You can then use your Google Pay service to transfer funds directly from your bank account into your Jackpot City Casino account quickly and easily. This service is also available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year and it is free to use for customers.

There is one key thing to check before you use https://pay.google.com/ and that is that your mobile phone number is registered with your bank. Google Pay can only use bank accounts that have had your number linked to that account. Linking your mobile number with you bank account is very simple and you just need to log into your bank and enter in your mobile number in your personal data to link it to your account.

This is always a good move as it adds an extra level of security to your account as your bank can then contact you on your mobile to check against suspected fraudulent activity or to confirm a payment or deposit you have made.

Remember too, in addition to funding your Jackpot City Casino account for live casino games, you can use your Google Pay app to pay for other items both in store and online in much the same way you can pay for items using Apple Pay or contactless card technology. For some transactions, you may only need to present your phone and tap to pay for an item using contactless payments.

Unified Payments Interface (UPI)

If you are one of the millions of Indians that use their mobile phone for a massive selection of different things, then you will be delighted to hear that there is now a new form of internet banking service available that allows uses to send and receive payments to and from their main bank account securely and directly.

That system is the new UPI Net Banking service, which stands for Unified Payments Interface. The system is already well established throughout Indian and draws on support from a massive number of top banking institutions that are available throughout the country.

A total of 168 different banks and financial institutions have signed up with the UPI Banking Service and among them are the following:

• ICIC Bank
• Bank of India
• HSBC
• DBS Digibank
• Punjab and Sind Bank
• Federal Bank
• Canara Bank
• Airtel Payments Bank
• Bank of India
• Citibank Retail
• NKGSB
• Union Bank of India
• United Bank of India
• Jammu and Kashmir Bank
• Karnataka Bank
• RBL Bank Ltd
• Central Bank of India
• Standard Chartered Bank and many more.

How does the UPI work?

Customers that want to use the UPI system need to download a single mobile application. This application can merge several different banking features into one simple place under one simple to use method.

Once you have downloaded the app, simply register yourself and your bank(s) with the provider to link the two together. Once you have linked your account(s) with the app, you can then use the app to complete a wide number of different banking tasks such as:

• Make payments using the app around the clock
• Request payments around the clock
• Access different bank accounts from a single app
• 2-Factor Authentication required to provide additional security on transactions.
• Bill payments can be made using the app

The app is also doubly secure thanks to the user not requiring to enter any personal details, such as card details or account number during a transaction thanks to the site using a Virtual ID for the user, which makes the transaction and the players account even more secure.

The great news for players that want to deposit cash into their casino account with the UPI service is that casinos like Jackpot City are now accepting payments from this service which makes funding your account not only easy, but more safe and secure than ever.

Developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which was set up to help create a "robust Payment and Settlement Infrastructure in India", the UPI is one of the developments made by the company towards making India a "less-cash' society.

Other innovative payment systems developed by the NPCI include the FASTag system to allow drivers to pay tolls without having to stop and pay at toll plazas and the Bharat Bill Payment System, which offers a one-stop payment solution for over 200 different bills such as Electricity, Has, Water, Telecommunications and Loan repayments.

UPI though is not the only new payment method available to Indian customers wanting to deposit cash at Jackpot City casino, there is now another option in the shape of the payment method developed by one of the most familiar and famous names on the Internet today.

Where can I use these deposit methods to play Live Casino games?

We have already mentioned that you can use both UPI and Google Pay to pay for your live casino gaming at the popular online casino site Jackpot City Casino, however you can also use these payment methods at any other casinos part of the same network as Jackpot City Casino that also take payments from Indian players.

Why should I play at Jackpot City?

Good question and one that has a very simple answer. One of the best reasons to play at Jackpot City from India is that as a new customer, you can enjoy a fantastic starter bonus, which could be worth up to R160,000 when you make your first four deposits with the casino.

For each of those first four deposits, you could earn a 100% Matched Deposit bonus of up to R40,000 each time, meaning that you would need to make a similar sized deposit to claim the bonus in full. However, if you are a smaller stakes gamer then don't worry as a new player can deposit from as little as R1,000 and still receive a deposit bonus as a welcome to the site!

There is a 70x wagering requirement in place on your bonus when you receive it and that wagering requirement is the same for all four of the different starter deposit bonuses.

However, it is not just a fantastic starter bonus that makes Jackpot City such a good choice for customers to play at. As a new member, you will also become a member of the famous Loyalty Scheme at Jackpot City. Starting off as a Loyalty Tier 1 Bronze member, your play on the site will see you progress through the six different tiers outlined below:

• Tier 1 - Bronze
• Tier 2 - Silver

• Tier 5- Diamond
• Tier 6 - Prive

As you progress through the scheme and improve your Tier rating, you will unlock greater value promotions and bonuses as part of the offer which will offer you an even better deal as you play.

Benefits include the option to trade in your loyalty points earned for bonus cash which you can use on the live casino games and best of all, to help you get started, when you register a new account, you will receive 2,500 loyalty points as part of your welcome bonus to help you get started.

With all that bonus cash available, you will also want to know what the quality of Live Casino games are available at Jackpot City.
