WebMoney Casinos and Payment Account Rules
WebMoney separates a participant's identity from the purses used to hold title units. Its legal terms also set specific conditions for gambling transactions. Before paying a casino, identify the accepted purse and the merchant route described in the payment instructions. For broader comparisons, see our guide to casino payment methods.
WMID and purses
A WMID identifies a participant in WebMoney Transfer. Purses attached to the participant hold particular title units. The identifier and a purse balance perform different functions.
WebMoney publishes separate information for its units and their guarantors. For example, its WMT guarantor describes exchanging USDT for WMT at a ratio of one USDT to one WMT. Use the purse named by the merchant and the rules of that unit for the transaction.
Gambling merchant conditions
Addendum 2 of the WebMoney legal terms places gambling and lottery tickets among categories requiring mandatory permission from the system owner. The condition also requires the relevant permissions and licences in the participant's country of registration.
Ordinary transfers between participants and permission to receive gambling payments therefore have different requirements. Use the merchant's legal details and the payment service's terms when assessing a casino payment route.
Identification and WM passports
WebMoney's identification programme uses WM passports. Its official page describes the following main types.
| WM passport | Published role |
| Alias | Issued on registration; intended for limited initial use |
| Formal | Provides funding and withdrawal functions and higher limits after document and VideoID verification |
| Personal | Intended for advanced users and businesses, with personal-data verification through a registrar |
The purse and the participant's status affect the services available within WebMoney. A casino applies its own account and identity requirements to the player as well.
Fees and conversion
WebMoney's system-fee page publishes a standard transaction charge of 0.8%, with a minimum of 0.01 WM and maximum fees set by unit. The page also describes an additional charge for certain phone-confirmation operations.
Funding, exchange and withdrawal services have their own conditions. A casino payout into a purse, an exchange between units and a transfer out to another payment service are separate operations. Include the exchange rate and the cost of each operation when comparing payment routes.
Casino payment records
At a casino offering a permitted WebMoney route, select the purse named in the cashier and review the amount, unit and recipient. Complete the authorisation required by the displayed WebMoney payment interface. Save the transaction number and check the casino's transaction history.
Read the withdrawal section before depositing. It specifies the purse or other destination used for winnings and the details required from the account holder.
Matching the purse to the transaction
Check the purse type requested by the merchant before authorising a payment. A WMID identifies the participant, while the purse and its unit identify what is being transferred. Record the unit alongside the amount so that a support request refers to the same transaction as the merchant's record.
Read an exchange quote separately when moving between units or using an outside exchange service. The system transfer fee, the exchange rate and any external service charge describe different costs. Compare the amount the receiving operation will credit, as well as the amount being sent.
Payment permission and identity checks
WebMoney's gambling conditions concern permission for the merchant activity. The participant's WM passport concerns identification within the payment system. Neither should be treated as a substitute for the other. The casino's own account checks also apply to the player under its terms.
When a payment and casino balance differ, keep the transaction number, purse unit, amount and timestamp. Contact the operator with the merchant-payment record. For a problem involving WebMoney account access or verification, use the relevant WebMoney service instead of supplying account credentials to the casino.
Identity checks and payment security
A WM passport identifies a participant within WebMoney. Permission for gambling merchants is a separate condition in the legal terms. Keep those requirements distinct from the casino's own customer checks and use the official WebMoney process for account access or passport verification.
Advantages and limitations
| Feature | Practical implication |
| Separate participant and purse identifiers | The unit and purse must match the transaction |
| Published system transaction fee | Exchange and outside service charges are separate |
| Identification passport programme | Account status affects available functions |
| Explicit gambling merchant conditions | Permission and relevant licences are required |
Other casino payment routes
A bank transfer sends money between accounts and provides a banking reference. A card payment uses the card issuer's authorisation process. An electronic wallet holds a separate payment balance, so loading it and paying a merchant are distinct operations. Compare the route available in the casino with the destination offered for winnings.
What to check before a casino payment
Use the following checklist with the terms for the actual account and transaction:
- The exact product and legal provider named in the checkout.
- The country and currency covered by the payment instructions.
- The separate deposit and withdrawal destinations.
- The minimum and maximum amounts for the selected operation.
- Charges for funding, conversion and receiving the payment.
- The approval stage, transfer stage and references used to trace them.
- Identification and account-ownership documents requested through official channels.
Keep the relevant terms and payment confirmation with the transaction record. That gives support the original information for the order being discussed, including the product name used at the time.
