Payment Options

Before any player can gamble with real money in the online casino, he or she must make a deposit into a newly formed player account.  If a player chooses to download the software, they will be directed to the cashier in order to deposit funds with a deposit method the casino permits.  Credit cards and personal internet accounts are the most widely used, but it is the player's responsibility to choose the deposit method that is most convenient for them.

Online Casino Credit Cards :
Using a credit card to gamble online can be a touchy matter.  Although most credit cards will decline paying funds if used for online gambling, (by identifying the transaction with a special code) many players have reported they were successful at getting their credit card to go through.  Sometimes this might take several attempts, and is thus worth the try if using credit cards is your preferred method of making deposits.  Remember that deposits can be refunded onto a credit card, but that withdrawals of winnings cannot.  For withdrawals, players may need to set up personal internet account.

Online Casinos at Accept Paypal :
Unfortunately there are no longer any online casinos that accept paypal payments. Paypal was a popular and safe method for making deposits with internet casinos until 2002, when they abruptly stopped accepting payments dealing with online gambling sites.

Personal Internet Accounts :
Most online casinos will offer a large selection of personal internet accounts, also called alternative deposit methods.  There are close to twenty different methods currently recognized by the online gambling industry, all of which have proven to be highly safe and efficient.  Some of the most popular are NETeller, FirePay, myCitadel, wire transfers, and FirePay.  Methods like NETeller act like e-cash wallets, in that players make deposits into their account, which they can then use to make deposits and receive withdrawals from the online casino cashier.  Most of these personal internet accounts do not charge for making deposits into the account, nor to make secondary deposits to casinos.  Some do charge small fees for receiving withdrawals from a casino, although most of them don't. 

Take some time to do a little research by visiting the website of the particular method you are interested in using, and read up on exactly how their system works, and if any fees apply.  May times, if fees apply, the casino will cover the costs in the form of a percentage bonus on the deposit, as they do with NETeller and FirePay.
