Gambling Deposit Methods

The first step in playing at an online casino is finding a deposit option to get your money online. Players from the US have several solid options but players from the rest of the world have a wide range of deposit options.

When you visit the cashier at an online casino and click on the "deposit" button, you'll see a list of deposit options available at that time. Each online casino has its own list of deposit methods but you'll see the most common ones listed below.

US Friendly Deposit Options

Visa / MasterCard: The credit card deposit is the easiest and most popular deposit method for US players. Credit card deposits work most of the time but some banks block these types of transactions. If your credit card transaction doesn't go through, you'll want to either try a different credit card or use one of the other US friendly deposit options.

eWalletXpress: This is a very handy deposit option for US players because it acts as an online wallet similar to PayPal. First you sign up for an account at eWalletXpress and then deposit money to eWalletXpress via bank transfer, online check, bank wire or money order. After that, you can transfer your funds to any online casino that accepts eWalletXpress as a deposit option.

UseMyWallet: UseMyWallet is similar to eWalletXpress in that it acts as an online wallet like PayPal. To sign up for an account at UseMyWallet, you will first have to sign up at an online casino and then ask them to send an invitation to join UseMyWallet.

Money Transfer: The money transfer option isn't as convenient as the above options but it's one of the fastest ways to both deposit your money and withdraw it. To enact a money transfer deposit, visit your online casino and click on that deposit option within the cashier section. You'll then be given instructions for enacting the transfer and asked to visit your local money transfer station (such as Western Union).

Virtual Pin: The Virtual Pin deposit option is perfect for players who have had their credit card transactions blocked. This deposit option can be used by visiting VirtualPin.net and signing up for a prepaid calling card. The card details will be given to you immediately and you can then use that card to make your purchase at your gambling site. It's easy, secure and effective.

Non US Deposit Options

NETeller: This is a very popular deposit option because NETeller is fast, secure and it works just like PayPal. It's basically an online account where you can store money and transfer it from one casino to another. When you're ready to take your money to the bank, NETeller will send it straight to your bank account.

Click2Pay: Click2Pay is a NETeller alternative that works in the same manner. It's an e-wallet that acts as an intermediary between you and the online casino you wish to play at. Click2Pay makes it easy to move money between casinos and to transfer winnings to your bank account.

Moneybookers: Moneybookers is yet another e-wallet similar to the above two. With over 7 million account holders, Moneybookers is one of the most popular deposit methods for non-US casino players.

eChecks: eChecks are simple electronic checks that sent money straight from your bank account to the casino of your choice. If this deposit option is available to you, it's a good one to go with because it's very fast and easy to use.

Eco Card: The Eco is a simple prepaid virtual debit card that gamblers can use as an alternative to sending money straight from their cards to the casino. Some casino gamblers use the Eco card for discretion while others use it because their banks restrict gambling transactions.

Entropay: Entropay is also a simple prepaid virtual debit card that works anywhere Visa is accepted. All you do is sign up for an account, fund your virtual card and then use that card to make a deposit at your online casino.

Ukash: Ukash is a unique payment solution that allows casino players to use cash to play online. If you're worried about using your credit card online or don't have access to a credit/debit card, Ukash is the perfect solution.

All you have to do is take your cash to a Ukash vendor in a nearby PayPoint, payzone or e-pay location and trade them cash for a voucher that can be used online. This voucher consists of a unique 19 digit number that you input when making your online deposit.

ClickandBuy: ClickandBuy works in the same fashion as NETeller and Click2Pay. It's an online wallet that allows you to shop at thousands of merchants and make deposits to online casinos. ClickandBuy also accepts cash at thousands of locations in the same fashion as Ukash.

iDeal: This deposit option was created specifically for casino players located in the Netherlands. It creates an online account that you can then credit with money straight from your bank account. After your iDeal account is funded, you can then transfer to funds to any online casino that accepts iDeal.

Giropay: Players with German bank accounts can use Giropay to send payments directly to any online casino. This deposit method links your bank account with Giropay and then it allows you to send funds quickly and safely.

POLi: POLi acts as an online bank account for players from Australia. It works by linking your checking or savings account to POLi, which can then be used to send funds to an online casino of your choice. The advantage of POLi is that the casino never has access to your banking information.

My Citadel: My Citadel is another online wallet that can be funded and then used to send money to any online casino. If you want to try out several different casinos, you don't have to send your banking information to each one.

eNETS: eNETS is used by players from Singapore to make safe and secure online payments to casinos. This is the best deposit option if you're a casino player from Singapore.
