Another look at online casino deposit options

The primary objective of this site is to help new online casino customers get the best out of their leisure time playing casino games online. We attempt to do that by providing detailed information on the casino games they may wish to play, assessing the quality of the available online casinos and by passing on a certain amount of advice to help them avoid the pitfalls they may encounter. To this end it is time to return to the question of what is the best way to fund playing casino games at an online casino. All the online casinos on our recommended list offer a wide range of deposit options, including debit cards, credit cards and what are generally called e-wallets such as Pay Pal and Neteller, but which of these offers the best value and security. If you live in Ireland and have access to a Paddy Power or Ladbrokes betting shop you also have the opportunity to manage your online casino account using cash, which is clearly the best deposit option of them all but not always convenient for many people. With access to the internet now so widespread many of us tend to reach for our credit cards when purchasing goods and services online, often for very good reasons in the event of unsatisfactory service, but beware using a credit card as a casino deposit option. The banks hate us gambling, in spite of their own dubious activities, and will undoubtedly penalise you for using a credit card as an online casino deposit option. This is normally in the form of a surcharge which can be as much as 2% in some cases, and they will then charge interest on the money from day one because it is a cash transaction. Some banks will also apply a surcharge for the use of a debit card as a casino deposit option, so let’s look at the alternatives. If you wish to retain your privacy and improve the security of your personal information, the best online casino deposit option is without doubt an e-wallet. An e-wallet account with Pay Pal or Neteller is effectively a separate account which you can use for a wide variety of internet transactions, including casino deposits, without your bank knowing what you are doing with your money. Nor does the online casino have access to your bank details thereby improving your personal security, and you can even fund your e-wallet account with a debit or credit card if that is your choice, but without additional charges.
