Our last article on this page featured what we consider to be one of the most important casino tips for new online casino games players, namely staying within your budget, but there is another equally important piece of advice which all new online casino customers should consider very carefully when they start playing casino games online. We refer of course to the question of how to fund your online casino account. All the major online casinos offer a very comprehensive range of deposit options, but there are some drawbacks associated with some of these online casino deposit options which we feel we should highlight so that new casino games players can make the best choice. In these days of online shopping most of us would naturally use a credit card for online transactions, particularly if there is a chance that the product we are buying may not be exactly what we want, and all the major online casinos will of course accept most credit cards as a deposit option but is it the best option. We could debate the question of whether gambling with borrowed money is ever a good idea at great length, but there is another reason to think twice before using a credit card to fund an online casino account and that is the inevitable bank charges which will result. In spite of their own somewhat questionable investment activities, the banks do not like us gambling and will therefore slap an additional charge on any expenditure on a credit card associated with gambling. This can be as much as 2% and is in addition to the interest charges which begin on day one because it is considered to be a cash transaction. Some banks will even charge extra if you use a debit card, so if you need to use plastic take advantage of the e-wallet deposit option also offered by most online casinos, whereby the bank will not know what you are using the e-wallet for and nor will the online casino have access to your personal banking details. Think about it, improve your security and save money by using a Pay Pal or Neteller account as a deposit option rather than using either a credit or debit card directly.
