Benefits of STICPAY Deposits and Withdrawals
Here we will introduce the benefits of STICPAY deposits and withdrawals.

STICPAY allows you to create a STICPAY card when you open an account.

Disadvantages of STICPAY Deposits and Withdrawals
Here we will introduce the disadvantages of STICPAY deposits and withdrawals.
▲ Fees are high
STICPAY charges high fees for deposits and withdrawals. In particular, the most convenient credit card (MatserCard / VISA) will charge a fee of 3.85% of the deposit amount.
Therefore, if you want to use STICPAY to deposit large amounts of money at online casinos, you will have to pay a lot of fees. This is a big disadvantage of STICPAY because other electronic payment services have lower fees.
▲Domestic bank deposit not supported
Many electronic payment services accept deposits from domestic banks, but STICPAY does not accept bank transfers. Therefore, the disadvantage is that you have to use other means such as Bitcoin and credit cards.
▲ The number of affiliated online casinos is small
STICPAY is still a new electronic payment service. Therefore, compared to other electronic payment services such as ecoPayz, VenusPoint, iwallet, etc., the number of affiliated online casinos is small.
▲Base currency is HKD
STICPAY uses HKD as base currency. Therefore, if you select a currency other than HKD at the time of registration, a foreign exchange fee will be charged each time you deposit or withdraw.
Therefore, if you use it in Australia, you will lose the fee, so be careful.
