It is not every day that an online gambling deposit method receives an award from the Queen herself. But that is exactly what recently happened to Ukash, the popular UK deposit method that allows you to use cash rather than your credit card for online purchases. The Queen’s Award for Enterprise has for the third year been bestowed upon Ukash, which also happens to be a favorite deposit method by online gamblers in the United Kingdom.
How popular is Ukash as an anonymous online payment method? The company recently reported 65% year-over-year growth, and is rapidly becoming a giant in the competitive e-wallet and prepaid industry. The way it works is quite simple. You can purchase Ukash vouchers wherever you see Payzone, PayPoint or e-Pay signs displayed at physical locations in the United Kingdom, South Africa and multiple countries across Europe. Currently more than 20 countries sell and honor Ukash, with more joining all the time.
If you are not sure if there is a physical location near you to purchase Ukash vouchers, just visit the Ukash website for a list of all of their outlets. You then just purchase a voucher in the amount you wish, using cash money. You can then use that voucher to fund an online casino account that accepts Ukash as a deposit method. In this way you add a safe layer of anonymity which separates your personal banking and financial information from the online website where you enjoy Las Vegas style casino gaming.
As you may imagine, the Queen of England probably does not low a lot about online payment processors. But the fact that this is the third year the Queen’s Award has been given to Ukash on the advice from the British Prime Minister proves the payment processor’s safety and security. David Hunter is the Chief Executive Officer of Ukash, and he recently stated that the “remarkable achievement” for his company is very humbling. He also pointed out that “very few companies” have achieved the Queen’s Award for Excellence in any category for three straight years.
Hunter kindly thanked the Ukash staff and worldwide partners for the achievement, and pointed out that the company is continually forging “new global partnerships” as their devotion to entering emerging markets, hopefully adding the United States as a future partner. While there are no virtual Ukash casinos currently open to US players, the recent addition of New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware as states legalizing online gambling holds the door open for a future Ukash United States opening. Currently, top Ukash online gambling destinations like the Vegas Joker Casino and the Grand Hotel Casino honor the Ukash virtual deposit method.

Queen’s award? blah blah blah – you mean an award from their ‘token’ queen who just uses the nation’s money but doesn’t do anything.
She may not rule in the way the Monarchy used to rule in England, but the world enjoys this royal family and what they represent. There’s just something special about a Queen, King or princess that we just don’t quite want to eliminate from our lives. At any rate, the award does signify that Ukash has a royal stamp of approval with the quality of service they offer. Not a bad thing at all.
Did you hear about Ukash and the cardless ATM they are launching? Pretty freaking cool.
In fact I did – I have to admit that I get pretty excited when a payment method we already love makes a cool innovative development like this. I think players are really going to like it.
