CoDi Casinos

Playing across international online casinos, Mexican online casino players do not have that many convenient payment methods to use, but CoDi sure is one to consider. This is a payment solution allowing seamless mobile and digital payments which Mexican users can use across numerous online casinos. It is a great option for both deposits and withdrawals, and it comes with many perks Mexican players should consider. It is incredibly fast and easy to use, but above all, incredibly secure, therefore, if considering using it, stay with us to learn more about it. What is CoDi and why use it across online casinos?

About CoDi

CoDi or Cobro Digital (translated: Digital Payments) is a Mexican electronic payment platform launched by the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) in 2019. It was designed to offer users an alternative payment method to facilitate their digital and mobile payments. It is a solution that allows users a secure and quick way to complete a payment or collect a transaction through electronic transfer.

It implements innovative and powerful technology for transactions, based on the generation of QR codes, so one of the preconditions users need to meet is to have a smartphone. Another condition, of course, is to have an active bank account, since this is a solution launched by the Bank of Mexico. The solution works through the banking system but was designed to simulate a cashless economy transition.

In just two years after its launch, the solution became a huge hit across the nation, thanks to the convenience it offers. By April 2021, over 146 million Mexican pesos were transacted through CoDi. The reasons are obvious; apart from the convenience, the solution is fee-free, available 24/7, secure (being launched by the Bank of Mexico) and efficient. It is super simple to use, as you won’t need to be downloading any extra apps, as you'll soon learn, and it is available across most Mexican e-Commerce platforms.

Speaking of, you will find it as a payment option across most Mexican online casinos, even across international casinos accepting players from the country. 10Bet is certainly one option, but you’ll find plenty of others. Therefore, if you’re ready to go through the getting started procedure, continue reading, as we’ll cover that next.

Getting Starting with It

We mentioned just now that in order to be eligible to use CoDi, you must meet two preconditions: one, to have a smartphone and two, to have an active bank account. It goes without saying that you’d also need to be a Mexican, with an active Mexican phone number.

Now, assuming you do have a smartphone, since there are over 12 million Mexicans that use smartphones, and these Mexicans have also used the internet and their smartphones to install a bank app to get access to their online banking profile, you also probably have installed your bank’s app. In case you haven’t, this would be a good time to do it, as this is the next step you need to make.

Once your bank’s app is installed, you can actually start transacting with CoDi right away. The process is really simple, and it depends on whether you’ll be paying on the spot, by being physically at a store, or remotely, like when making a deposit at an online casino. Since we’re interested in the latter, let’s go over the remote CoDi payments.

First, you’d need to open the bank’s app and locate the CoDi section. Sign up to make a payment request. Ask the e-Commerce, or in our case, the online casino, to generate a CoDi and send it to your mobile phone. Open the notification and you’ll be redirected to your bank’s app to check the details of the request, such as the name of the operator, the amount and the subject of the payment. Authorize the payment by providing your PIN, fingerprint, face or token, depending on your authentication factor, and confirm it. Both you and the operator will receive a notification on your mobile devices to confirm that the money has become available on your online casino balance.

Now, at this point, you might be surprised that the casino will be the one requesting the payment. That’s just simply how the solution works; when you actually try to make a deposit, you’ll see that this process would be simplified, since, if the casino is offering the solution, it means it has enrolled with it. You’d probably be in communication with a Customer Support agent to request the amount you’d want to deposit, or the operator will have made a change in the procedure and allow you to enter the amount you’d want to deposit by yourself. It would depend on the casino you’ve chosen to go with, but CoDi does offer the option, to leave the Amount field empty so that the user can enter the amount they want by themselves. We’ll cover this part next, the actual depositing part.

How to Make a Deposit with CoDi at an Online Casino?

As you could see, it won’t take long for you to get started with CoDi and use it to make instant payments via your online banking profile. You should know here that it won’t take long for you to find a decent, licensed casino to join that accepts the solution, since most, if not all, Mexican sites do. We mentioned 10Bet, but there sure are plenty of others you could explore, considering in 2014, the country legalized online activities, too, in addition to the land-based casinos already offered. So, decide on the one to go with and register for an account with it.

To make a deposit with CoDi, go through the following steps:

1. Head over to the casino’s Deposits/Banking page.
2. From the list of offered methods, find CoDi’s or Banxico’s logo and press it.
3. In the pop-up, enter your credentials and log into your online banking profile.
4. Enter the amount you’d want to deposit or ask the Customer Support agent to do it for you, depending on how the casino is offering the service.
5. Wait for the casino to generate the reference number, and enter it on your online banking profile.
6. In an instant, the money will arrive in your online casino balance.

How to Make a Withdrawal with It?

Since the solution works the other way around, you’d be happy to learn that you can use CoDi for withdrawals, too. Again, you’d need to go through the same first three steps, and the fourth step would be entering the amount you'd want to withdraw. Wait for the withdrawal to be approved by the operator and you'll receive the money in your online banking account in no time.

Applicable Fees

We emphasized from the very beginning that CoDi charges no fees for using the service. Since it was launched by the Bank of Mexico, it is a cost-efficient service that was created with the aim to facilitate your mobile and digital payments.

The casinos won’t charge fees for using it, either. Therefore, you can rest assured that you’ll only be spending as much as you wish to deposit when depositing with it.

Accepted & Restricted Countries

It goes without saying that the only accepted country, meaning, the only country that offers the CoDi service is Mexico.

Therefore, unless you’re a Mexican player, do not expect to be able to use the solution. By default, all other countries are restricted countries.

Available Currencies

The Mexican peso is the default and only currency you can use when using CoDi. You cannot use other currencies, because that’s how the solution was programmed to be used.

This goes to your advantage because when playing across international or Mexican casinos, you won’t be needing to pay a currency conversion fee, only further proving that the solution is truly fee-free.

Customer Service & Support Options

The solution, as said, is available 24/7, but so is its Customer Support service. You can contact its representatives via the phone numbers 800-POR-CODE or 800-767-2634. You can also write them an email at [email protected].

In case you’re wondering how it works or you still have some uncertainties about how to use it, you can also always explore the informative and intuitive pages available on the official website, and you can explore the Frequent Questions page.

Finally, in case you’re having trouble with your deposits or withdrawals using the solution, do not hesitate to get in touch with the Support team available at your chosen casino. They should also be trained in assisting you with such matters.
