Payments Methods

One of the things that concerned me a great deal when I started playing online was answering the question; “How can I safely and securely get money into and out of the online gaming sites?” Unfortunately for me, I didn’t have a resource like this at that time. The good news for you is everything you need to know about depositing and withdrawing money at online gaming establishments is right here so you don’t have to research everything yourself. Below you will find a list of different ways this can be accomplished and also a list of sites that offer these services with some additional information.[…]

Credit cards: Many sites will accept credit cards for deposits but most credit card companies deny the charges for deposits into gambling establishments online. They do this to help fight credit card fraud. This has created many alternative methods to fund accounts, and in my opinion better options.

Virtual Wallets: Many of you are probably familiar with Paypal. Paypal is an example of a virtual wallet. You fund your account by any of a number of means including a credit card or a transfer from a bank account. Then you use your virtual wallet account to fund your gaming account, and most of them will also accept payments from your gaming accounts. You can then; depending on which wallet you choose, transfer the money to a bank account or use an ATM to retrieve it. The most popular of these is Neteller, but some of the others are Firepay, Moneybookers and Click2Pay.

E-Checks: E-checks are simply a deposit taken directly from your checking account. They are sometimes called other names like EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) or wire transfers. You must enter an account number from a checking or savings account to initiate these. I strongly suggest opening a separate account for these transactions to give you the maximum protection. Many gambling sites will do these directly, but some of the third party processors you can use are Citadel Commerce and IGM-Pay.

Other: A few of the other options are FPS epassport and a Global Connect Card.
