Just joined an
Online Casino for the first time? There are a number of ways that you can deposit money into your new
Online Casino account as well as going down the obvious route of using major credit and debit cards. When using credit cards though, just be aware that some of the credit card companies can be a bit picky when authorizing payments for online gambling. From our experience it pays to look at some of the other options available to you as it can often prove to be quicker and more reliable in the long term.
Credit / Debit Card
You first register your credit card with the casino/poker site by clicking on the "Register New Credit/Debit Card" button typically on the deposit screen. Once you have registered your card you may then select the card, enter your deposit amount, and then press the deposit button. As mentioned, be prepared for your card company to not authorize the payment.
Neteller
You need to have a Neteller account set up which can be done at
www.neteller.com Once you have registered the details with the casino site you simply enter the amount you wish to deposit with your neteller card and security code and after a couple of minutes the deposit will be approved and you can start playing.
InstaCash
This option is only available if you have registered a Neteller account. You will be required to provide a valid bank account number in order to use this deposit method, and deposits should be instant.
EcoCard
This option is targeted towards the European market, as it offers a variety of currencies. You will have to register an EcoCard account at
www.ecocard.com, select your desired currency, fill out your deposit form and take it to your local bank in order to complete the transaction. Once you have funds available in your Ecocard account deposits to the casino should be immediate.
MoneyBookers
It’s like an online credit card. You register an account at
www.moneybookers.com and you can fund it using a number of methods. Deposits with this method are immediate and the transaction fees are a flat rate. They also allow for deposits using various currencies.
Bank Draft / Personal Check
You can send a personal check or a bank draft to most online casinos and once they have received the mail, a bank draft usually takes 10 banking days to clear, while a personal check normally takes 21 banking days to clear. They will update your account as soon as it clears. Make sure you make out the check to the correct account. Details should be available on the casino web site. The only disadvantage to this one is that it takes so long to get to your own account that you need to be well prepared for next months playing.
Wire Transfer
You can send a wire transfer to the casinos bank account. Deposit time frame is around 3-4 days. You will find the details for sending a Wire Transfer usually in the casinos cashier section.
Methods below are ONLY available to US Bank account holders:
Fire Pay
This is a free, secure and convenient payment method which works a lot like a debit or credit card. Once you register a Firepay account
www.firepay.com you will be given a 16-digit account number that you will register as you would a Credit/Debit card; except you will select "Firepay" as the card type in the registration screen. You will have to fund your Firepay account using a US bank account and you may then use it to make payments.
Citadel
This is an online checking account. When you choose this option you will be directed to the Citadel site to complete the transaction. You must open a Citadel account at
www.citadelcommerce.com This deposit method may be used ONLY by residents of both USA and Canada.
900 Pay
900 Pay lets you make deposits to your casino account that will be charged to your phone bill. Charges from 900Pay will appear as "Navaho Net". It is a secure and efficient payment method, and is also a convenient alternative. Once you enter an amount to deposit you will be taken to a webpage to complete the transaction. For additional information please check the individual casinos.
