Introduction

A mobile wallet known as Zain Cash was introduced in 2018 after receiving authorization from the Central Bank of Iraq. It is possible to make payments, transfer money, pay bills, and buy online services with this eWallet, which gives its users a variety of financial management options. 

We anticipate that it will soon be supported in online casinos and sports betting sites, similar to the Vodafone Cash and Etisalat Cash wallets that are available in several Arab nations. Despite the fact that this wallet is not yet available for use on online betting sites, we anticipate that it will become available shortly.

What Is Zain Cash?

Zain Cash is a mobile wallet and digital financial services platform operating in Iraq and other select countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It is a subsidiary of Zain Group, one of the leading telecommunications providers in the MENA area. Zain Cash offers a range of financial services through its mobile application, primarily targeting unbanked or underbanked individuals and promoting financial inclusion in Iraq and neighboring regions.

The amount of Iraqi dinars can’t be used online: Online transactions are foreign transfers that use the US dollar instead of the Iraqi dinar. So, even if you have enough Iraqi dinars in your account, you won’t be able to use them online. As you must go to the nearest service center and charge your account in US dollars to do online activities.

Transaction limits may not be suitable for users: The limits for money exchanges, deposits, and withdrawals start at 5,000 dinars and go up to a maximum of 100,000 dinars, which may not be enough for some users, especially when buying goods and services online.

Wallet Card

Zain Cash, in conjunction with the Switch Company, has introduced a prepaid card (Wallet Card) that can only be used by Zain Iraq customers.

Using the Zain Cash app, you may view your transaction history and account balance, and make online purchases of any kind, both inside and outside of Iraq.

WaltCard is widely regarded as the best Iraqi MasterCard because to its being issued by the Central Bank of Iraq and charging only 1% for both deposits and withdrawals. If you put in 100 dinars, you’ll only lose a single dinar! Zain Cash has recently stated that it will provide users in Baghdad with free delivery of this card within 24 hours.

It’s important to note that in order to get this card, the user must already have a permanent Zain Cash wallet. Your wallet account can then be activated by taking a copy of your identification to the nearest Zain Cash service representative.

The card provides access to two accounts: one denominated in Iraqi dinars and the other in U.S. dollars. This quality has the potential to be both helpful and problematic. You can better manage your finances, which is a major benefit. However, it is a drawback because you cannot spend Iraqi dinars on websites, which might be frustrating for many people. However, if you simply add US dollars to your balance, you won’t have to worry about this.

A prepaid Wallet Card’s universal acceptance means you can use it at any online merchant, from casinos to sportsbooks. However, Mastercard does not allow withdrawals from all gaming sites, so you cannot use it to collect your winnings. Therefore, a bank transfer is the only method of payment available to you.

Betfinal is a premier online gambling and sports betting platform that accepts Zain Cash and the Zain Wallet Card. It’s available in Arabic and Kurdish, there’s a $1,350 welcome bonus just for Iraqi players, and they get regular promotions. In addition, there are more than two thousand games available in the lobby.
