Zimpler Casino

Zimpler is a Swedish payment service that was launched in 2012 under the name PugglePay and is now part of the TrueLayer group. The service is licensed by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority for payment services in Sweden, which means it complies with Swedish legislation for payments. For players in Sweden, Zimpler acts as a direct link between their Swedish bank account and an online Casino, enabling transactions in SEK using BankID.

As a payment method, Zimpler offers fast withdrawals, often within minutes, and on some casinos there is no maximum withdrawal limit. The service is not a Casino itself, but a way to move money securely, making it important for players to always choose a separate Casino licensed by the Swedish Gambling Authority to play.

Zimpler's license from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority specifically applies to providing payment services in Sweden. This differs from a gaming license from the Swedish Gambling Authority, meaning Zimpler itself does not offer games but can handle money for such transactions. Being part of the TrueLayer group provides technical backing for the platform. The company's history began in 2012 as PugglePay, demonstrating experience in the payment industry. An important note is that Zimpler has disabled the possibility of invoice payments for gaming transactions since November 2020, affecting the payment options available to players today.

Zimpler's security is based on the Swedish standard for strong authentication: BankID. In practice, this means that every time you initiate a transaction via Zimpler at a Casino, you are redirected to a secure login where you use your mobile BankID or hardware token to identify yourself. This process verifies both your identity and that the transaction is approved by your bank. This system eliminates the need to provide your bank details directly to the Casino. The 'strong authentication' mentioned in the facts is therefore this BankID process, which is a higher level of security compared to simple passwords.

To use Zimpler, you must first be registered at an online Casino that offers the payment method. When making a deposit, select 'Zimpler' at the checkout. You will then be redirected to Zimpler's secure payment page. There, you enter your mobile number and select your bank from a list. You will then be redirected to your bank's login page where you authenticate the payment with BankID. The amount is immediately deducted from your bank account. For withdrawals, select the same method at the Casino, and the money is sent back via Zimpler to the same bank account, often within a very short time. All amounts are displayed and handled in SEK.

Zimpler is a method for both deposits and withdrawals. The biggest practical advantage is the speed: 'Often processed within minutes to a few hours' mainly applies to withdrawals, which is significantly faster than traditional bank transfers that can take several banking days. Another important detail is that there is 'No maximum limit (at some casinos)' for withdrawals. This is unusual and means that if the Casino you are playing at has this policy, you can withdraw your entire balance in one transaction without breaking it into smaller parts. However, it is crucial to check the specific Casino's withdrawal terms, as they may set their own limits on top of the payment method. Zimpler itself does not set such general maximum limits according to available information.

Since Zimpler is a payment method, it does not offer bonuses itself. However, casinos that accept Zimpler may offer bonuses to attract players who use it. An example of such a welcome bonus from a casino is: 100% up to €500 + 200 Free Spins. It is important to note that the bonus is in euros, while your transactions with Zimpler are in SEK, which involves currency conversion.

• Welcome Bonus Details: To receive the 100% match up to €500, you must make a first deposit. The bonus money has a wagering requirement of 35x, meaning you must bet the bonus amount 35 times before any winnings can be withdrawn.
• Free Spins Details: The 200 free spins are usually given upon registration or after the first deposit and are specifically intended for selected NetEnt slot games. Often, winnings from free spins also need to be wagered a certain number of times.
• Cashback for VIP Members: This offer, 10% weekly cashback on losses, is typically linked to a VIP or loyalty program at the casino. It is not an automatic entitlement for everyone using Zimpler.

Zimpler has 'built-in responsible gambling tools'. In practice, this may mean that, via your Zimpler transaction history or profile, you have the option to set limits on how much you transfer to gaming companies during a specific period. These tools function independently of any limits you might set at the casino itself. It is an additional layer of protection that follows you as a user of the payment service, regardless of which Zimpler-enabled casino you use. The service is only available to individuals over 18 years of age. For more comprehensive measures such as self-exclusion, you must contact the individual licensed casino directly, as Zimpler, as a payment provider, cannot block your access to all licensed gaming sites.

There are a few specific limitations and historical events to be aware of. Firstly, Zimpler is solely a payment method. You cannot play on Zimpler; you must always have an account at a separate casino licensed by the Swedish Gambling Authority. Secondly, the service 'stopped offering invoice payments for gambling in November 2020'. This means that today you cannot choose to pay a gambling deposit with an invoice that will be sent later; all transactions are direct bank transfers. Finally, there is a note that Zimpler has 'faced fines for promoting illegal gambling in Sweden (according to source allegation)'.

Zimpler is designed for mobile use. Since authentication is done via mobile BankID or banking apps, the entire payment flow is optimized for smartphones. You do not need to download a separate Zimpler app; the service works through your mobile's web browser when you are on the casino's website or in its app. The process is the same: select Zimpler, follow the redirects, and use BankID.
