You can by a voucher called a 'paysafe card'

AW accepts this as payment (not sure about viva street)

WH Smith sells them. you have to pay in cash.

Thanks! Can you buy them from the post office??

They have a website from which you can enter location and find stockists.

You can register on Adultwork with a different name and email address, but is mandatory for new profiles to show ID verification (to make sure you are over the age of 18). You can opt to hide the verification photo on your public profile.

Vivastreet has a PaySafe Card option too but the amount you are allowed to pay is limited

You can use paysafecard on Vivastreet and Adultwork and bitcoin on Adultwork. You can buy a paysafecard at any paypoint totally anonymously. Unfortunately you just missed out on unlimited payments, they've recently limited it to £40. However you can get around that by paying in chunks.

Hiya. I pay Viva Street by paysafe card. I go to my local co op (lookout for Paypoint sign) and ask for a paysafe voucher. You'll probably get a confused look. In my experience, not many shop assistants know how to do it.  When they are looking at their options on the screen, I think they have to start on "e money".

Viva Street have this new thing where you can't pay for an advert that costs more than £40. If you want to pay more I think you have to register on the Pay Safe website.

I'd be really interested if AW do ask you to verify - like others have said, I'm sure they do. Worth a try though. Xx

Thanks, I have bought a pay safe voucher. How much personal details will I have to give to post and sign up to viva street and adult work? I will give a fake registration name and I was wondering if I would have to give any more details??

Do you mean you can actually buy a plastic card (like a phone topup or store gift card) and use some number on it anonymously to get clients to pay money onto it? (like they would with a bank sort code/account number)

Nobody who works in the shops that supposedly sells them seems to have a clue.. They just offer me a voucher. That's great for paying for Ads etc, but I want to use it for client's deposits if possible 🤔

Yes it's a voucher, not an actual card despite the name. I don't know how you could collect deposits using it.

 You could get clients to purchase the voucher and give you the number - that could work as a deposit but the cash would be in AW credits (not sure about how this would work on VS) and you could use it for ads?

Deposits thread (one of several) is here (https://saafe.info/main/questions-and-answers/receiving-deposits-discreetly/)

This one is about paying for advertising :).
