One of the disadvantages of online casinos
is the money transferring aspect. In a brick and mortar casino it's easy
to hand money to a cashier, over the Internet it's not quite that simple
just yet. All money deposits and withdrawals must be made electronically
somehow.
The easiest option to make a deposit is typically using a credit card
- however many credit card issuers no longer allow people to make direct
deposits to online casinos, because the "chargebacks" are too frequent.
If your credit card doesn't work (or you don't have one) - here are
some good alternate options to fund your casino account(s).
Click on a pull-down menu corresponding to the type of deposit you
would like to make to choose a casino offering that deposit method.
Then click on 'Visit Casino'.
900Pay Deposits
Deposit funds to your ECash Direct account with Basic 900pay. Basic
900pay is a secure, hassle-free method of deposit offering a simple
payment system that charges the deposit to your phone bill - no credit
card or bank account required.
ACH Deposits
Allows players to transfer money directly from US-based bank accounts
to a casino accepting said payment method. Sort of like an easy bank
wire. No credit card required.
NeTeller Deposits
NETeller is an online money transfer service. Opening a NETeller account
is like using an online wallet. You can deposit, withdraw, and transfer
funds to any merchants that support NETeller Online Payments.
PrePaidATM Deposits
PrePaid ATM is widely accepted at online casinos around the world, and
offers the option of an actual ATM card that can be used to access funds
at six major worldwide ATM networks. Purchase products and services
online – without revealing your name, card number or personal information!
Firepay Deposits
FirePay is a Web based cash account. Fund your FirePay account directly
from your U.S. bank account, and immediately pay with the deposited
funds. FirePay is simple and secure. It's FREE to sign up, FREE to fund,
and FREE to pay.
Personal Cheques
A small number of online casinos accept personal checks for deposits,
but this is not usually a recommended option as there's a significant
delay between sending payment and having accessible funds at the casino.
Wire Transfers
A wire transfer is basically an electronic method of transferring cash
from one party to another done through your bank. It's a fairly simple
process, but usually carries higher fees than other deposit options,
so it's best suited if you're making larger ($500+) deposits wherever
you play.
Ask the customer service staff at your particular casino for their
wire details.
As time goes by new payment options will continue to spring up, especially
as more and more credit card companies restrict online gaming charges.
Unfortunately it's a little more hassle, but rest assured there's a
way to make deposits. On the bright side, many casinos offer better
bonuses from these alternate options as a way of saying thanks for the
trouble!
