Esports Bookmakers Accepting Barion

Barion is an electronic mode of payment that allows users to transfer funds from their bank card or a prepaid Barion wallet to an online merchant or another user. It was developed in 2015 by Barion Payment Zrt and licensed by the Hungarian National Bank. Barion accounts work seamlessly with Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard, and Maestro. All that's needed is an email address and a password to transfer money. This makes Barion both convenient and secure because it doesn't involve the input of sensitive card information.

7. The site will keep a record of the transaction.
8. The winner receives a confirmation message that they have funds in their account if the payment was successful.

There are no withdrawal fees for using Barion. But charges will apply when transferring the Barion wallet balance to a bank account or card. If the card on file linked to Barion wallet can make VPOS payments, the eSports bettor will receive their winnings directly in their credit/debit card, without an additional step.

One doesn't need a bank account to register for a personal Barion. They just need their email, credit/debit card number, three-digit CVC code, and expiration date. To register as a company, Barion will ask for the registered name, registration number, tax number, nature of business, and biodata of the authorized representative, including their email and telephone number. They also need the customer to fill in their country of residence, physical address, and mailing address.
