QIWI casinos belong mostly to the past. On 21 February 2024 the Bank of Russia revoked the banking licence of KIVI Bank, known in English as QIWI Bank, and that date is the one firm anchor in this story. Wallet and card instructions written before it describe a service as it stood then. They are not a working route today.

For a different payment model, see the bank transfer guide. It describes account-to-account payments, not a route for restoring QIWI balances or bypassing provider and local restrictions.

Is the QIWI wallet still available for casinos? We cannot confirm it, so this page carries no active deposit guide and no casino list built from stale pages.

Products and legal entities using the QIWI name can have different territorial and regulatory statuses. Identify the operator and country before applying information about the former Russian wallet route.

Historically the service centred on a wallet tied to a mobile phone number, with linked card products beside it. Casinos aimed at Russian-speaking players used it as a payment option. We give no top-up steps, since following them now could send money into a dead channel.

The Bank of Russia revoked QIWI Bank’s licence on 21 February 2024. Its own release cites repeated banking-law breaches and failures to comply with anti-money-laundering requirements. Those regulatory findings concern the named Russian bank.

A licence revocation is not a bankruptcy ruling, and it does not mean every settlement is complete. The table shows what the date supports and what it does not.

In the old model a player loaded the wallet, paid the casino from it and sometimes took winnings back the same way. Support differed by operator.

The phone number needs a careful reading. It identified the wallet. It did not mean the charge landed on a mobile operator bill, which is a different type of payment.

If you still have funds associated with an old QIWI wallet, consult the current official claims procedure. A regulatory decision, liquidation and the treatment of wallet-holder claims are separate matters. Do not assume automatic compensation or deposit-insurance coverage for an e-money balance.

The regulatory decision, the bank's liquidation and the order of creditor or wallet-holder claims are separate matters with separate dates. Only the first is confirmed here. For the others, read the Bank of Russia and Deposit Insurance Agency (ASV) information on the day you need it, and do not apply deposit insurance to a wallet balance without a source that says so.

Ask support for the exact legal product and the company behind it. If the answer is the old Russian wallet, ask for a different payout route. Treat QIWI casino payments through that wallet as unavailable until the casino proves otherwise.

Never send a transfer to a stranger's number "to unlock" funds. No legitimate casino process works that way, and the money would be gone.

On a page that still advertises the name, ask:

• Which legal entity and which country does the product belong to?

• Does the cashier itself, not the footer, list the method for your country?

• Is it offered for deposits, withdrawals or both?

A current method is one you can see working in a cashier today. For QIWI casino alternatives, go by what the casino confirms for your country, and do not swap in a service just because the name is similar. Judge any replacement on whether it is supported for you and whether it is in your own name. The Yandex.Money and YooMoney story is a different brand history and does not guarantee a working payout either.

On 21 February 2024 the Bank of Russia revoked KIVI Bank's licence. Old wallet instructions stopped being a safe guide, and the QIWI wallet after 2024 cannot be assumed to work in any cashier.

No. They describe the service before the revocation, and nothing shows they work now.

No. The revoked licence belongs to one Russian bank. Other businesses with the name need separate checking.

We cannot confirm that any old QIWI Visa card still works. Ask the card issuer and use official channels.

Use the official Bank of Russia and ASV information on liquidation. We have not verified the current procedure.

No. Only the live cashier for your country does.
