Adding cash to your online casino account using Maestro might be impossible

Although the easy way to make a deposit into your online casino account is to use a credit card we have warned about the cost implications of doing so and if don’t have an e-wallet account the next best thing is debit card and one of the largest of these is the Maestro card. Funding your casino games with Maestro should be very easy and because it is effectively cash it can be credited to your Maestro casino account immediately but it isn’t. Maestro is the debit card brand of MasterCard which is why the two circles symbol looks similar but in Ireland most of the debit cards issued by banks carry both the Maestro and the Laser symbol. If you are paying into your casino with Maestro in Ireland you will probably be using the Laser function, only if for some reason you wish to pay into your casino account from abroad will you be using the Maestro function and you still may find that it is not possible as there is no possibility for the chip to be read. At home in Ireland this should not be a problem. Maestro and online casinos do not mix very well in Ireland so either use Laser or better yet open an e-wallet (which you can fund with your debit card if you so wish). Before trying to deposit into your online casino account check the banking section of the casino where it should give full details of what is and what is not possible.
