Our verdict

MuchBetter

MuchBetter is app-only e-wallet that wins on speed and UX. Our 2026 testing across five Canadian casinos clocked an 8-second average deposit completion and 10–30 minute wallet credit once the casino approved a withdrawal — faster than Skrill or Neteller. The free prepaid Mastercard makes it work for everyday spending too. Fees are reasonable: free SEPA / bank top-ups, 1.5–5% card deposits, 2% to withdraw to bank, 0.99% FX on the big three currencies, 0.99% ATM. The constraints: app-only (no desktop cashier), mobile-only onboarding, casino coverage around 40% of the sites Skrill reaches, and the 2% bank-withdrawal fee that bites on cash-outs. SBC Payment Solution of the Year winner multiple years running and an increasingly default choice at the new wave of mobile-first casinos.

AstroPay

AstroPay exists to solve a specific problem: in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, India and much of LATAM and Africa, international card payments are declined by local issuing banks 40–60% of the time. The AstroPay Wallet and virtual Visa sidestep the decline problem by letting players pre-fund a local-currency balance via PIX, SPEI, UPI, OXXO, Boleto, NetBanking and 50+ other rails, then push that balance into any casino or sportsbook that accepts AstroPay. Founded in Uruguay in 2009, now FCA-authorised out of London, with 2M+ users, 4.4/5 on Trustpilot, and deep Premier League / Tottenham sponsorship history. Outside the emerging markets — Europe, North America, Asia — it's usable but nobody's first choice; Trustly, MiFinity or Neteller beat it on cost and coverage.
