Google Pay is a fairly new transaction method, which emerged from Google Wallet and Android Pay in 2018.

When it comes to online casinos, Google Pay can be used for deposits but not for withdrawals. Still, it has become quite popular since it allows a gambler to make a casino deposit using their selected transaction method (e.g. credit or debit card) without disclosing sensitive card information to the recipient. Google Pay acts as an intermediary, and sensitive information is shared with Google Pay instead of being sent to the merchant.

Do I need a mobile device to use Google Pay?

No, Google Pay works with desktop computers too. You can use a stationary computer, a laptop, a smartphone or a tablet.

Do I need an Android mobile device to use Google Pay?

No, that is not required. There are Google Pay mobile apps available for both iOS and Android. (As mentioned above, you can also use Google Pay from a normal computer, a mobile device is not required.)

– The Google Pay app for Android is available in the Google Play store.

– The Google Pay app for iOS is available in the Apple App store.

Getting started with Google Pay

You need a Google Account to use Google Pay, so if you don´t already have one, the first step is to create one. Creating and using a Google Account is free.

Once you have a Google Account, go to pay.google.com and sign in using your Google Account credentials.

When you are logged in at pay.google.com, follow the on-screen instructions for getting started with Google Pay. You will be asked to add a payment method, such as a credit card. You can add several payment methods if you want to and use them all through Google Pay.

I have downloaded the mobile app

If you have downloaded the Google Pay app to your mobile device, simply open it and follow the on-screen instructions to get started with Google Pay.

Conclusion

Using Google Pay is convenient since you can add multiple credit cards and use one safe and simple solution to confirm your transactions, both online and offline.

It is positive that Google Pay isn´t for Android devices only; you can use it on an ordinary computer or download an app for your iOS mobile device. If your next mobile device happens to be an iOS device, you can still use your old Google Pay account, so you are not ”locked-in” with a specific operative system.
