Depositing Methods

To play games on line, each casino site now provide different payment options that will suit anyone. The majority of sites have safe and secure credit facilities where privacy is assured.

Most online casinos accept common credit cards such as MasterCard and Visa. More recently American Express allows transactions on their cards but has a listing of casinos.

As gambling is a highly regulated industry, credit card companies and financial institutions may restrict the deposit amounts, query them with the cardholder or refuse access completely. This is designed to protect, rather than hinder the player.

Casinos are aware of this and encourage alternative payment methods. That is why there is a vast array of merchant facilities available when registering your account and making deposits.

One of the most popular is Neteller, which is an online funds transfer system. You actually fund it with a credit card, telegraphic or electronic fund transfer or Instacash payment. Money is then used to make online purchases such as game cards or credits.

Citadel works if you have a check account at a US financial institution. Electronic checks are issued to make online purchases with the casinos.

Ukash is a popular merchant amongst UK web shoppers and allows online cash transactions rather than credit cards.

Moneybookers is a funds transfer merchant commonly used in European transactions. Funds are actually transferred via email instantly, players’ fund accounts via credit card or wire to deposit to the casino.

Another popular method used widely through Europe is EcoCard. Currency can be purchased in Euro, UK Sterling or US Dollars.

Western Union is a money transfer company and often accepted by casinos upon verification of account and player code details. It is one of many wire transfer companies.

FirePay is an account funded from a US bank account and acts like a Debit Card and offers safe and secure fund transfers.

For North American players eWalletXpress acts just like an electronic wallet and is popular amongst online casinos. Of similar nature is UseMyWallet or QuickTender.

Other US payment methods include the new 900 Pay that allows smaller transactions of up to $100, which are charged to your phone bill. Bank Drafts are a simple and effective means of payment but must be done well beforehand. These are mailed or couriered to a casino for deposit to your account. Instadebit processes payment to online merchants directly from a US bank account, with an easy two step sign up process.
