In this article, I am going to talk about one such payment platform – Google Pay. I will  cover the history of Google Pay, what it takes to set up an account, transaction charges, and the level of security this payment method has to offer.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”what is google pay?” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]

Google pay is a UPI Payment application developed by Google Inc. It was launched in 2015 and was initially intended to be an extension of the Google wallet platform. But later, it became a separate entity. It was initially  called “Android Pay ” and was available only in limited countries.

The ease of transaction made the application so popular that it grew exponentially and is now present in more than 28 countries. In 2018 “Android Pay” was renamed as “Google Pay”.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”How do you open an account on Google Pay?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”heading-tag-left-sm”][vc_column_text]Setting up a Google Pay account is very simple. Below mentioned are three simple steps that you need to follow

1. To set up an account you first need a Google account. If you do not have an existing account then you need to create one.
2. Once you create a Google account, you can proceed to create a Google Pay account. You can do this either on a desktop by logging in to pay.google.com or you can download the Google Pay app from the play store.

An important thing to remember while creating the Google pay account is the name on your betting account and Google pay should be the same, else the bookie might reject your proposed deposit.

You then need to choose the payment method. Google pay gives you the option of adding a debit card, credit card, or even a PayPal account. Choose the appropriate payment method and follow the instruction that appears on the screen. Additional details like card number, email address, the mobile number need to be filled.

3. Once the Google pay account is successfully created, you need to go to your preferred betting site like Bet365 who accept Google Pay as the payment option. Click on the deposit section and select Google pay from the drop down menu. if you have multiple accounts linked then you need to choose one of them. You then need to verify the transaction by entering the 4 digits unique google pay code or by using your fingerprint scanner. Your deposit amount will then reflect on your betting account.

Please note that although you can deposit money using Google Pay, you would not be able to withdraw from it. To withdraw you need to set up your debit card or PayPal account on the betting site.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Transaction charges on Google Pay” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”heading-tag-left-sm”][vc_column_text]The best part about using Google Pay is the lack of transaction charges. In the countries where Google Pay service is supported, depositing money to your betting account will incur zero charges. The only way you might incur any charges is if the bookie applies a fee which is non-existent as of now.

Is it secure?

Security is one of the strongest point of Google Pay. All your account details are stored in Google’s secure server which shields it from any kind of data breach. The transaction proceeds only when the system confirms the phone sim and your 4 digit unique identification number.

To conclude, Google Pay is one of the best payment options you can choose for all your betting transactions. With zero transaction fees and an unprecedented level of security, I encourage you to play at cricket betting sites that offer this banking option.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Google Pay FAQs” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”heading-tag-left-sm”][vc_toggle title=”Do all betting sites have Google Pay options?”]Most well-known betting sites like Bet365 offer the UPI payment option like Google Pay. But to be sure, kindly check your betting site’s payment options.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Will the transactions done through Google Pay reflect in my bank account?”]UPI payment happens directly from your authorised bank account to the betting sites. Because this transaction happens directly, it reflects in your bank statement as a regular transaction.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What happens if the transaction fails and money is deducted from the account?”]To complete a UPI transaction you need a good internet connection. Many times due to low internet bandwidth, the transaction does not go through but money gets deducted from your bank account. This is a common scenario and there is no need to worry. In case of a failed transaction, the payment automatically reflects in your account within 7 working days.[/vc_toggle][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
