Casino Payment Methods

When it comes to playing at an online casino, one of the most commonly asked questions is: “How can I deposit money and how can I withdraw money? The answer is quite simple. The casinos cashier system works just like a regular online store with the same payment options offered and with the same levels of e-security.

In this article you will find
• Credit cards options
• E-wallet options
• Variations between casinos

Credit Cards

Virtually all online casinos will accept major credit cards to make deposits. The majority offer Visa and MasterCard as standard with many others accepting more obscure cards such as Diners Club or American Express.

Credit cards are the easiest way to deposit money with an online casino. You can use your banks debit card that is connected to your checking or savings accounts,  or you can use the regular types of credit cards that you apply for.

E-Wallets

The E-wallet is basically an online bank that handles transactions between businesses. You can load your e-wallet with cash and use it to make deposits at an online casino. The transfer is usually instant and works almost like a credit card.

The more popular ones that casinos use are:
PayPal
Neteller
Moneybookers (Skrill)
eWallet Xpress

There are plenty more e-wallets to choose from, but those are the most common and the ones we would recommend.

Other Methods

If you don’t have any of these options, you can also find sites that accept pre-paid debit cards. The most commonly used ones are called Paysafe Card, or Ukash. You go to a store that sells them, give them the amount of money you want to put on the card and it works just like a credit card. You will have to pay a fee to the store for buying these, but it is usually minimal. This is a great option for those who carry cash most of the time.

You can also find country specific methods that will vary from casino to casino. There is a wide list of these, too many to list here, but if in doubt you can contact the casino support and ask them for their payment options.

Variations between Casinos

Depending on what casino you play at, you will find different payment options. Each casino uses their own cashier system so you may find alternate options if you change venues. For the most part the more popular choices will be on offer at every casino, it’s the lesser used ones that will differ.

The Future of Banking

It’s difficult to determine future online casino payment developments. The current methods are working fine and I don’t see them going anywhere. However, there is increasing talk of virtual currency called “Bit Coins” being introduced. As of yet however its yet to have made a real impact in the gaming industry.
