Security

PayNearMe issues a unique barcode per transaction; the cashier scans and accepts cash. No card data exchanged.

Troubleshooting

  • Barcode expired: PayNearMe barcodes expire after 14 days; generate a new one in the sportsbook app.
  • Funds not credited: 15-minute window is standard. If not credited within 1 hour, contact sportsbook customer service with your retailer receipt.
  • Wrong cash amount: PayNearMe deposits the exact amount you pay in cash, minus the $3.99 fee.

Tax Notes

PayNearMe deposits are not directly reported to the IRS. Sportsbook tax reporting (W-2G) applies to qualifying winnings.
