No Account Casinos in Germany

As its name suggests, the no account casino (also referred to „no registration“ and „pay and play“) is an online casino that does not require a player to open an account or enter any personal and banking information. Everything you need is a bank account at a bank supporting the payment method Trustly.

When you load a no account casino site, you need to enter the amount you would like to deposit, select your currency, and the country you reside in. Then, you are redirected to your online banking page where you have to confirm the payment.

As a matter of fact, the pay and play service is also available in Finland and Sweden, but the greatest percentage of the no registration casinos are catering to German players.

The no account casinos are a clever way to overcome the legislative hurdles. There is no definitive answer why no account casinos are available only in three countries, but these are the most probable reasons:

• Some banks do not process transactions to and from gambling websites, so players need a middleman a.k.a Trustly to top up their casino accounts
• The online gambling legislation in Germany is currently in limbo and although there are hundreds of overseas sites accepting German players, they often end up with confiscated winnings, forfeited bonuses and even closed accounts

The situation in Finland is pretty much the same.

As for Sweden, it has liberalized the market but also imposed some heavy restrictions on operators and some of them even decided to cease operations on Swedish territory.

To cut a long story short, the pay and play casinos are relatively new and no wonder if they become common in other countries, too.

The no account casinos usually accept only one payment method – Trustly. To be able to use the pay and play service, the first thing you have to do is make sure the bank you have an account with supports Trustly payments. You don’t need to call them, though. When you load the casino site, enter the amount you would like to deposit and choose your country of residence, the logos of the supported banks will be displayed. You have to select the logo of the bank you have an account with and you will be redirected to your online banking.

Both deposits and withdrawals via Trustly are instant, which is the most competitive advantage of the no account casinos. You don’t have to submit any account verification documents and wait 7 business days for the money to show up in your bank account,

Well, that’s the biggest pitfall of the no registration casinos. Technically, there is no account to have your bonus credited to. In other words, most pay and play casinos do not offer any bonuses whatsoever. Still, there are a few notable exceptions such as Casoola that grants free spins to Finnish players.

If we paraphrase Forrest Gump: “Online casinos in Germany and Finland are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get”.

There is no clear-cut answer to whether no account casinos are safe, but the licensing information comes to your rescue. Reputable no account casinos usually hold a MGA or a UKGC license (or both), which guarantees that the company owner has passed rigorous checking procedures prior to being awarded a license.
