CashtoCode casinos in South Africa
CashtoCode is a cash payment method for online casinos: you generate a barcode in the cashier and pay it in cash at a partner outlet, or use a ZAR CashtoCode eVoucher. In our data only Thunderbolt Casino, an offshore RTG casino, accepts it from South Africans, for deposits only. Local vouchers like 1Voucher and OTT are far more widely accepted.

What CashtoCode is
CashtoCode is a European payment company that lets people pay online merchants with cash. It’s built for players who don’t want to use a card or bank account at a casino. There are two ways it works:
- Barcode: in the casino cashier you choose CashtoCode and enter an amount. CashtoCode generates a barcode, valid for 7 days, which you pay at one of its partner outlets in cash. Once paid, the casino credits your balance.
- eVoucher: you buy a CashtoCode eVoucher, including ZAR-denominated vouchers, and enter its 20-digit code in the cashier.
It’s similar in spirit to South Africa’s own cash vouchers, but it’s an international product used mostly by offshore casinos.
Where you can use CashtoCode
In our data only one casino accepts CashtoCode from South African players: Thunderbolt Casino. Thunderbolt is an offshore-licensed RTG casino, so there’s no provincial gambling board to complain to if something goes wrong. Its sister casinos may also list CashtoCode, but we couldn’t confirm that.
1Win, our featured casino, doesn’t list CashtoCode in our data, and no South African licensed bookmaker does either.
How to deposit with CashtoCode
- Log in at Thunderbolt and open the cashier.
- Choose CashtoCode and enter the amount.
- Get your barcode, or choose to enter an eVoucher code instead.
- Pay the barcode in cash at a CashtoCode partner outlet within 7 days. Use CashtoCode’s outlet finder to see where.
- Wait for the credit. The deposit appears once CashtoCode confirms your payment.
If you’re using an eVoucher, enter the 20-digit code and the deposit is credited straight away.
Withdrawals
CashtoCode can’t receive payouts. Thunderbolt pays winnings out by other methods, which in our data include Payz (ecoPayz) and crypto. Complete the casino’s verification before you request a withdrawal, as offshore casinos often ask for extra documents on the first payout.
Fees, limits and speed
- Fees: CashtoCode doesn’t charge the payer for a barcode payment, but some outlets or eVoucher resellers may add a fee. Check before you pay.
- Limits: set by CashtoCode and the casino. eVouchers come in fixed values.
- Speed: eVouchers are instant; barcode payments credit after the outlet payment is confirmed.
Who it suits
CashtoCode suits a very small group: players at Thunderbolt Casino who want to pay with cash and can reach a CashtoCode outlet. For everyone else, South Africa’s own vouchers do the job better and at many more sites.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Pay an online casino with cash.
- No card or bank account needed.
- ZAR eVouchers avoid currency conversion.
Cons
- Only one casino in our data, and it’s offshore-licensed.
- Few confirmed outlets in South Africa.
- Deposit only.
- Barcode payments aren’t instant.
Better cash alternatives
If you want to gamble with cash, use the vouchers South African sites actually support:
- 1Voucher and OTT Voucher: accepted by most local bookmakers.
- Blu Voucher: sold at Pick n Pay, Checkers and Spar.
- Kazang: sold at spaza shops.
If you prefer to stay anonymous at an offshore casino, crypto such as Bitcoin (BTC) or Tether (USDT) is accepted far more widely than CashtoCode. Neosurf, the other international cash voucher, isn’t accepted anywhere in our data. Compare every option on our payments page.
Paying with cash doesn’t make losses smaller. Set a budget, use the casino’s deposit limits, and call the NRGP free on 0800 006 008 if you need help.
