Best Swiss Casinos with Google Pay
In Switzerland, online casinos are only legal with a licence from the Swiss Federal Gaming Board (ESBK). The following overview shows licensed operators that bill in CHF and support Swiss payment methods. Whether Google Pay, Apple Pay or TWINT is available depends on the individual casino – check this in the cashier area.
Instead of a list of made-up brand names and lure bonuses, we deliberately focus on the operators that are actually licensed in Switzerland. Only they are subject to the Swiss Gambling Act, guarantee regulated player protection and bill in Swiss francs. For players in Bern, 7melons.ch from the Grand Casino Kursaal Bern is particularly relevant, because the operator has a local connection to the region.
We deliberately do not state any specific bonus amounts, payout rates or star ratings for individual casinos in the table – such figures change frequently and can only be reliably verified directly with the operator. The "Note" column summarises the essentials instead. Where we explicitly mention Google Pay, this is based on publicly available information from the casino in question.

Learn moreHow does Google Pay work at the casino?
Google Pay is a digital wallet that runs on any current Android device. The prerequisite is that you have added a Visa or Mastercard to the Google Wallet app. This card serves as the source for your casino deposit – so you don't have to enter the long card numbers by hand every time you pay.
The heart of Google Pay is tokenisation. Instead of your real card number, every payment uses an encrypted, device-bound replacement value (token). This means: your actual card details are not transferred to the casino. Even if the casino's payment service provider sees the transaction data, your real card number remains protected.
In the cashier area of a licensed casino, you select Google Pay as the payment method, enter the desired amount in CHF and confirm the payment directly on your device – via fingerprint, facial recognition or device PIN. An additional login with the bank is not required in most cases, because authorisation already takes place via the biometric confirmation.
The credit then appears in seconds: the balance is available in your player account practically instantly, so you can start playing without any waiting time. This makes Google Pay one of the fastest and most convenient deposit methods for Android users.
It is also handy that you do not need an additional app or a separate account with another payment provider: Google Pay is already pre-installed on most Android devices. You only need to add a card once and can then use it at all casinos that offer Google Pay in the cashier area – without typing in your card number again.
Google Pay at legal Swiss casinos
Since the Gambling Act (BGS) came into force on 1 January 2019, online casinos in Switzerland may only be operated with an ESBK licence and an online permit. The supervisory authority is the Swiss Federal Gaming Board (ESBK). Currently around twelve operators are licensed – only with these do you play legally and with full Swiss player protection.
Google Pay is widely used in Switzerland and completely legal. It is accepted by ESBK casinos: Jackpots.ch (Grand Casino Baden), for example, explicitly lists Apple Pay and Google Pay as a payment method. The most widespread method in Switzerland, however, is TWINT – the payment app is found at almost all licensed casinos. Apple Pay tends to be somewhat more widespread than Google Pay. The most reliable way to see which wallets a casino offers is directly in the cashier area.
Foreign casinos with an MGA or Curaçao licence are not licensed in Switzerland. They are network-blocked by the ESBK; playing there is in a grey area and at your own risk – without Swiss player protection, and any winnings are fully taxable. You play legally and safely exclusively with ESBK-licensed operators.
You can recognise a legal casino by the ESBK licence number, which is stated in the footer of the website, as well as by billing in CHF and Swiss payment methods. When in doubt, every licensed operator can be checked at esbk.admin.ch.
For players in Bern, 7melons.ch (Grand Casino Kursaal Bern) additionally offers a licensed operator with a local connection. As with all ESBK casinos, the following applies: which wallets – Google Pay, Apple Pay or TWINT – are actually offered is decided by the casino itself and can change. Therefore, do not rely on promises from third parties, but check the available methods directly in the cashier area before your first deposit.
Deposits and withdrawals with Google Pay
For deposits, Google Pay is ideal: you select the method in the cashier area, confirm the amount in CHF via fingerprint or PIN, and the balance is immediately available. As a rule, no additional fees are charged by the wallet.
It is different for withdrawals: Google Pay is predominantly a deposit method. Winnings are usually paid out via another method – typically by bank transfer or back to the card on file. The casino in question determines which payout route is possible.
All licensed Swiss casinos bill in CHF, so no currency conversion is incurred. As alternatives or supplements to Google Pay, depending on the operator, TWINT, PostFinance, Maestro/Visa/Mastercard as well as the classic bank transfer are available to you.
Note: The availability of Google Pay varies from casino to casino. Before your first deposit, check in the cashier area whether the method is offered and which payout routes are available.
Taxes on winnings
A major advantage of legal Swiss casinos concerns taxes: winnings at ESBK-licensed online casinos are tax-free up to an amount of approx. CHF 1'071'000 (as of 2026). Only amounts exceeding this have to be taxed as income.
It is different with non-licensed, foreign operators: winnings from there are, in principle, always fully taxable in Switzerland – regardless of the amount. This too is a good reason to play at legal ESBK casinos. In each individual case, your personal tax situation is always decisive; when in doubt, information from the responsible tax authority will help. The amounts stated are to be understood as approximate guide values (as of 2026) and may change.

Responsible gambling
Gambling should remain entertainment. Online casinos are only permitted for people aged 18 and over. Only play with money you can afford to lose, and set yourself clear limits.
Licensed Swiss casinos offer binding protection tools: you can set deposit, loss and time limits and, if needed, have yourself self-excluded. There is also a federal gambling ban through the ESBK, which applies to all licensed operators. If gambling becomes a burden, seek support early – the following bodies help anonymously and free of charge.
