Giropay Casinos

If you're looking to deposit with Giropay, here's the honest, up-to-date answer: Giropay was discontinued at the end of 2024, so it's no longer an option at any online casino — none of the 56 Bonus Crab casinos we track lists it. Below is what happened to the service, and the bank-based methods you can genuinely use at a Bonus Crab casino instead.

Is Giropay still available?

No. Giropay was closed down at the end of 2024. Its operator, Paydirekt GmbH, decided on 12 June 2024 to wind the service down, and Giropay was switched off on 31 December 2024, with the company itself in wind-down since 2025. Its role is being taken over by a newer account-to-account payment service, Wero. In practical terms this is why no casino — Bonus Crab or otherwise — offers Giropay any more: the payment rail behind it simply no longer runs.

Can you use Giropay at Bonus Crab casinos?

You can't. None of the 56 Bonus Crab casinos on our list shows Giropay in its cashier, and because the service was shut off at the end of 2024 that isn't going to change — there's no live Giropay rail for a casino to connect to. If you've seen an old page listing "Giropay casinos", it's out of date. The good news is that the thing people liked about Giropay — paying straight from your own bank, with no card details shared — is still available through other bank-based methods that Bonus Crab casinos do support.

What to use instead

For the same pay-straight-from-your-bank experience, two methods cover it at Bonus Crab casinos. A direct bank transfer is the traditional, highest-limit option, accepted at 53 of the 56 casinos on our list — familiar and secure, though it clears on banking days rather than instantly. If you want that same bank-based deposit but landing straight away, Rapid Transfer authenticates inside your bank's own login and settles in real time. Either one gives you a no-card, bank-to-bank deposit and the daily Bonus Crab once it lands.

Giropay casino FAQ

Is Giropay still available in 2026?

No. Giropay was discontinued on 31 December 2024 after its operator, Paydirekt GmbH, decided in June 2024 to wind the service down. It is no longer offered at any online casino, and the company has been in wind-down since 2025.

Do any Bonus Crab casinos accept Giropay?

None do. Not one of the 56 Bonus Crab casinos we track lists Giropay in its cashier — and since the service was switched off at the end of 2024, that won't change. Older lists of "Giropay casinos" are simply out of date.

What replaced Giropay?

The role Giropay filled is being taken over by a newer account-to-account payment service called Wero. For depositing at a Bonus Crab casino, though, the practical replacements are a direct bank transfer or Rapid Transfer, both of which let you pay straight from your bank.

What can I use instead of Giropay at a casino?

For the same pay-from-your-bank, no-card deposit, use a bank transfer — accepted at 53 of our 56 Bonus Crab casinos, with the highest limits though it clears on banking days — or Rapid Transfer, which does the same thing but settles instantly inside your bank's login.

Giropay is gone, but you don't need it: a bank transfer or Rapid Transfer gives you the same no-card, straight-from-your-bank deposit at Bonus Crab casinos today.
