The internet has provided us with the opportunity to run our lives far more efficiently, and from the comfort of our own homes. We can shop online, pay bills online and even operate our bank account online, all of which used to entail finding time in our busy lives to fit them in. Even our leisure time can now be utilised online, and for those of us who enjoy playing casino games the online casinos are a massive attraction. Online casinos have made it very easy to play a wide variety of casino games from home, and also offer us a good range of options when it comes to paying for our games. Clearly many of us automatically reach for our credit cards when purchasing goods online, but playing casino games online should be a different matter even though all the online casinos will of course accept most credit cards. The first point to be made if you are considering using a credit card as a casino deposit option is that it will undoubtedly cost you more in charges than any other deposit option. For reasons best known to themselves, the banks invariably apply additional charges if you are using the money for gambling, and sometimes that will also apply to using a debit card. If you live in Ireland and are reasonably close to a Paddy Power or Ladbrokes betting shop, the best online casino deposit option is of course cash, and both of these online casino operators offer their customers the cash option. For the rest of us the best and most secure deposit option is one of the e-wallets, with both Pay Pal and Neteller accepted by most of the major online casinos. Once you have opened an e-wallet account, you can use that account for a variety of online transactions including purchases and funding your casino games, and your bank will not know what you are using the money for, and the online casino will have no access to your bank details. E-wallets are without doubt the best online casino deposit option in terms of security, apart from cash of course, and your e-wallet can be funded using a debit or credit card if that is your preferred option, although we would always caution against gambling on credit.
