Revolut online account

[playtime chris]

Here you can post everything about the payment provider Revolut.

It's basically an online bank based in England. The good thing is that there are also Master and (virtual) Visa credit cards for this account. In addition, each account has its own Iban number, so you can have money sent to you and also transfer money to other accounts.

The only disadvantage is that the account can only be managed on a mobile device, since the telephone number is linked to the respective account.

If you want to know more about this, you can visit the website at https://www.revolut.com/de-BE (https://revolut.com/r/holgerskp).

Thanks, I didn't know it yet, downloaded the app and tested it.

[playtime spielo]

Revolut is really interesting, just the fact that the daily limit for cash withdrawals is €3000. After I received the money, they just wanted an explanation of where the money came from. This was a bit tedious, but could also be cleaned up. I immediately activated the Metal Account, which costs 135€ a year, but has a number of advantages, such as additional health insurance abroad and a lot more. However, the free account is also sufficient for normal use, which has no disadvantages in terms of the limits.

[Glumbi]

If they wanted an explanation of where the money came from, does that mean you can't withdraw winnings there? So for example on the IBAN?

But of course you can have winnings paid out. They pay a lot of attention to money laundering. So you tell them a win from a casino, send a screen with the payout and that's it. For me it was more because of other incoming payments, since they differ and it can also be used as a normal salary account. But as already said, that can be clarified quickly if questions arise.

[playtime slotti]

Then it should also be offered by the casinos in order to be able to use it, or how are transactions carried out there?

[playtime chris]

Revolut is a bank account and not an e-wallet provider, so it is very easy to pay in from the account via credit card Master (Virtual Visa) and later transfer it back to the account with IBAN etc. via bank transfer. Should be really easy!

If that is not too cumbersome for you, you could save yourself stupid questions from the house bank in the event of higher payouts and do not necessarily have to use an ewallet. They are currently not really an advantage in the casinos and are also burdened with extremely high fees privately. The two online accounts are definitely an alternative!

[Glumbi]

Find that very interesting and then test it shortly.

[Glumbi]

Another question if you deposit via the account with the virtual Visa in the casino you have to verify the card. Normally, they always want a picture of the front and back, that doesn't work here because it's only available virtually. The 2-digit security number is also visible on the front. Is this recognized by the casinos?

Oh yes, and something else that is normal when paid in with KK, it must also be paid out, is it possible that it ends up on the Revolut account in the casino but paid out back to the KK?

[playtime spielo]

Well, I've never been asked to verify a virtual KK, but I had that for another wallet account and I just made a screen, almost covered the numbers and also blacked out the security pin.

[Glumbi]

I've now charged a small amount, will test it when I get a chance.

[playtime spielo]

Since I also use it for regular incoming payments, they wanted some proof of money laundering. But it was resolved in a few minutes and the account was 100% active. I can't judge how incoming money from casino payouts behaves, but even then it would probably be clarified quickly and easily. They are really nice and helpful at Revolut and you know from the English that they abide by their laws. All in all I only see advantages so far and you can really use it, not only for gaming!

[Glumbi]

Well, it doesn't matter because gambling in England is not a problem.

[playtime spielo]

Here are the two cards:

Above is the MasterCard for the free account and below is the Mastercard Metal, which is actually also made of Metal!

[gamblejohn]

I think I'll take a closer look, registering can't hurt, then we'll see how it goes.

[Glumbi]

There is also the silver account for 8 months but before I upgrade I have to use it more to make it worthwhile.

[Ulken]

I have to take a look too, I hope they have high limits so that you can push around a lot of money with them.

[playtime spielo]

I have to take a look too, I hope they have high limits so that you can push around a lot of money with them.

There is no upper limit, Revolut also confirmed to me that there shouldn't be such a thing.

[Ulken]

That's good, don't feel like being restricted in any way as soon as it gets five digits or higher.

[gamblejohn]

I registered there now and a support employee took care of me immediately. I found the verification a bit cumbersome because you have to upload everything via your cell phone. First I had to get the necessary documents on the phone, but otherwise everything was fine so far. I applied for the master card right away and if everything goes smoothly, I'll also take the metal package.

[playtime spielo]

I really can't report anything negative, on the contrary, even transfers to the account are on it the next day, my home bank account sometimes needs two days for that! The Metal account is not exactly cheap with an annual fee of €135, but you do enjoy some advantages. For everything else there is also the free account or the inexpensive silver account.

[gamblejohn]

Whether you pay 8 euros a month or 13 euros for much better services, think five euros difference is not even a smart spin on a slot.

[Ulken]

I've opened something and applied for it, let's see how long it takes until something moves and I can transfer the first bills.

[playtime spielo]

Ulken,

as soon as your account is opened and you have probably been verified by an employee, you can immediately transfer what you want. Of course you have to deposit some of your wealth into the account beforehand. :-)

[Ulken]

spielolein, of course something has been paid in, I'm not stupid. I'll be fine. But good that there is no limit otherwise I would be very limited again.

[Glumbi]

Well Ulken if there is no limit that should be enough for your fortune.. :p:p

[gamblejohn]

By the way, the master card was in my mailbox two days later, so everything is still positive. Now I will test this in practice.

[Glumbi]

Yesterday I paid in something via the virtual MasterCard, everything worked fine. Unfortunately, no payment was made.

[Glumbi]

That's not without being crass.. Let's see if we can find out more about the background.

Revolut customers are stolen 30.000 francs

[Ulken]

Of course, the coal is just nowhere XNUMX percent safe, you can't protect that well nowadays unless you have a vault somewhere where you can bunker well..

[Gambler]

Oh that's not nice, but something can always happen on the home bank account.

[Glumbi]

Something like this can happen to any account. As long as you're not to blame, you should be reimbursed, right?

[Ulken]

Had read something today that this whole hacker attack should not have been like that at all, you don't know what exactly is always right and what isn't.

[Glumbi]

Really, okay, also interesting, but it's true, not everything on the web always has to be right.

[gamblejohn]

Oh, that was certainly another weirdo who just stored his money in online casinos in a few minutes and wants to get the losses back that way. Also have the metal card and one thing is true in the whole article, I couldn't enjoy any special service in the live chat either, they still have to work on that!

[Ulken]

Certainly it has come into fashion to get one's losses back.. Spinners die..

[buzzi]

Have you ever had that situation where your Revolut account was suddenly blocked?

[playtime spielo]

Have you ever had that situation where your Revolut account was suddenly blocked?

Yes, I've had that happen twice and it was justified by the fact that it happens through an automatic security process. Whatever that means, you can sort it out quickly in chat. Since the account is in England, money laundering is very important here and if you also use your account for incoming money, you just have to prove where the money comes from here and there.

[buzzi]

Thank you very much for the answer, I'll ask about it in the chat now, sometimes I get money on my account and that could be the reason.

[gamblejohn]

Yes, that's true with the accounts checks, has caught me twice already. I just find it annoying because everything has to be done via mobile and they don't have a desktop app which would make everything easier when you need to upload docs.

[Glumbi]

That's right, that would certainly be very useful.

[Gambler]

Actually, I always thought that this would work.. hm funny, I must have made a mistake.

[Glumbi]

No, unfortunately not yet, I'm also curious if they're still working on it and developing it further.

[Gambler]

I really like the whole thing there, it's a pity that there is no responsible employee who can help with questions.

[Glumbi]

Yes, the responsible employees of individual companies here are somehow all gone..

[gamblejohn]

I have to say that I've liked Revolut better than my house bank for a while. No more problems, paying or transferring is easy and every ATM works. Basically a completely normal bank and recently even had German support who was really super nice.

[playtime spielo]

Wallets like Revolut or Monese are becoming more and more popular and sooner or later German players will have to switch to such wallets. Banks are causing more and more trouble when payments go directly to casinos from there. Ultimately, you also protect yourself with it, because everything remains anonymous and nobody gets anything.
