Google Pay Online Casinos in New Jersey

Do NJ Online Casinos Accept Google Pay?

The short answer is no.

In fact, you won’t find any casinos in the United States that accept Google Pay. This is a common question with a rather dissatisfying answer, but soon we will go over alternative banking options so that you can play to your heart's content at NJ online casinos.

Gambling of any kind is expressly prohibited in the Google Pay Policies for Businesses manual, with particular emphasis on the act in which “money or other items of value are paid or wagered in exchange for the opportunity to win real money or prizes based on the outcome of the game.”

Some international casinos are supporting the option to use Google Pay, which is very convenient due to the workability of the platform. It is unclear why the United States hasn’t hopped on board with using Google Pay as a method of payment.

Hold on to hope for now. New Jersey's online casino industry is well-regulated. There is a good chance that Google Pay will become available in the not-too-distant future. We hope that regardless of how long it takes, anywhere from a few months to a few years, we will be the first to let you know about this impending breakthrough.

Using Google Pay for NJ Online Casinos

As promised, this tutorial will show you how to use Google Pay to make deposits at NJ online casinos.

Google Pay & Your Bank Account

Follow these steps to add your bank account to your Google Pay account:

1. Download the Google Pay App;
2. Towards the top right of the screen, select your Profile picture then tap the Add a bank account option towards the center of the screen;
3. Select your bank by either scrolling through the list of options or using the search bar at the top of the page;
4. For this step, your phone number for your bank account and your Google Pay account must match. Your bank will send you an SMS for verification. If you have more than one bank account, choose your preferred account from the list of options Google Pay displays;
5. Enter your debit card information that is associated with the selected bank account. Note: You must have an active debit card;
6. Set up a UPI pin. For all high-risk transactions, this pin will be used as verification.

Transferring money from Google Pay to your bank account is free. It will take 1-5 business days. You can have up to $25,000 in your Google Pay account, including rewards.

Limits depend on whether you've verified your identity with Google Pay. When sending money out, the minimum amount is $1. If your account is not verified, you can only send $700 in 7 days. If your identity has been verified, you can transfer up to $20,000 in a 7-day period.

You can withdraw up to $10,000 in total to your bank account while your Google Pay identity is unverified. After that, the app will require verification before further action.

Google Pay & Your Debit Card

To add your debit card to your Google Pay account:

1. Fire up the Google Pay app;
2. Select the Add to Wallet option then select Payment card;
3. Use either the camera or manually enter your debit card information;
4. Accept the terms and conditions from your bank;
5. Finally, you may be asked to select a method to receive a code for verification. Be sure to enter the verification code correctly to pass this step.

Unlike transferring directly to your bank account, if you use a debit card to transfer out funds, you will be assessed a 1.5% fee. The bright side to this is that by using your debit card to transfer funds from your Google Pay account, the funds usually appear instantly in your bank account.

Google Pay & Your Cash App

First and foremost, it is important to note that there is no way to directly link your Cash App and Google Pay account together. However, you can most certainly link your Cash App card to your Google Pay with no problem. Here’s how:

1. Open the Google Pay app;
2. Select Add Payment Method;
3. Enter your Cash App debit card information and follow the instructions.

To transfer money from Google Pay to your Cash App account, you would need to transfer the funds from Google Pay to your bank account first. A fee being charged would depend on if you use your debit card or bank account. Limits depend on your identity verification status.

How To Create a Google Pay Account

To take advantage of the Google's digital payment service, you'll need to first create and verify account. Here are the steps you need to go through:

1. Download and install the Google Pay App. Tap the application's icon to open it once it has been successfully installed;
2. When you first start up the program, it will ask you to choose the language that you are most comfortable with. After making your choice, you will be prompted to enter the primary phone number associated with your account. Note: The phone number must be the same as the one you have linked to your bank account if you wish to add it in the future;
3. Select an email address for yourself. If you have more than one account registered with Google, you need to make sure that you select the primary Google ID for each of those accounts. After that, a One-Time Passcode will be sent to you, which will need to enter correctly in order to proceed with the verification;
4. Upon completion of the verification, you will see a solid blue screen with a white check. This will indicate the success of your enrollment. Congratulations! You have successfully created a Google Pay Account.
