Paying with EcoCard
How can I pay to one of your merchants? In order to make payments with EcoCard to our merchants you should:
  1. Be registered with both – EcoCard and Merchant;
  2. You have to have money on your EcoCard (EcoCard is a prepaid card). If you do not, check Step-by-Step instructions on Depositing.
  3. Go to the Merchant’s site, Login into your account there;
  4. Go to the “Deposit” section (the name of this section may vary with different merchants), choose EcoCard as a payment method;
  5. Insert the amount you wish to deposit from your EcoCard (it should be equal or less your EcoCard balance);
  6. Then insert your User Name and Password and press “Next” or “Submit” button;
  7. Funds are transferred (you may check it by logging into your EcoCard).
  8. You may start playing and betting.
My EcoCard is in one currency, but my account with one of your Merchants is in another currency. How should I act if I want to pay with EcoCard? There is absolutely no problem – the amount you wish to pay from EcoCard will be automatically converted to the currency of the Merchant according to the present day currency exchange rate.

Registration / Login
I am experiencing problems logging into my EcoCard. What have I done wrong? You have not done anything wrong. Keep in mind that your Password is case sensitive. Make sure CAPSLOCK on your computer is off (or on, depending on whether CAPSLOCK was on or off when you registered with EcoCard). In order to log into your EcoCard you should type in your User Name and your Password.
I have a problem logging into my account with one of your merchants. What should I do? You should contact that merchant support team.
Why am I asked to fill in Secret Question during registration? Filling in the Secret Question and Answer Information is a requirement for all EcoCard Holders. It is necessary for preventing loss of the password – there is no other way to restore it except for answering to the secret question. EcoCard takes care of the clients' security and therefore NEVER discloses information about their accounts to people that we are unable to identify. You should look at EcoCard Password as at your wallet – when you lose it, you lose your money and nobody can help. As with your wallet you are the only one responsible to know where it is, you are the only one who knows your Account Number and Password.
I forgot my password. What should I do? If you forgot your password you should initiate a Password Recovery Process and follow the instructions.
I forgot my User Name. What should I do? You are welcome to contact us at support@ecocard.com
I have not received my Password. What should I do? Password is chosen by you during registration and is known ONLY to you. We do not keep a record of your password.
How do I log into my EcoCard Account? You should use your User Name and your Password.
What are the requirements / restrictions for the "Password" field? Password should be at least 6 and up to 16 symbols long. It should not be too short or too simple. It should not be identical to your e-mail address or contain repeated sub-strings of characters. The Password field is CaSe sensitive: it distinguishes between lower-case and upper-case letters. Eco recommends the Password to be a combination of letters and symbols. Keep the Password in a safe place and do not disclose it to any third party.

Please review our password guide:

Things to do: Things not to do:
Use a mixture of different character types (alphabetic, numeric, special) Use a word or words in any language
Use a mixture of characters of upper and lower cases Use a proper name, e.g. a name of your pet
Choose an easy-to-remember password Use information that can be found in your wallet, e.g. Driver’s License Number
Change the password often Use information commonly known about you
Make sure you are not cheated when entering your password Write your password anywhere or give to anybody
