There is no doubt that more and more of us in Ireland are becoming interested in playing casino games at an online casino. In fact playing games on our computers, laptops and tablets is now a popular leisure activity for all age groups, and given our seemingly in-built love of gambling there should be no surprise that we enjoy playing online casino games. Here at onlinecasino.ie we like to think that we are able to help new casino games players get the most from their online casino experience by providing regular advice on a range of topics, including of course the most important as far as we are concerned which is the question of how to fund playing online casino games. All the online casinos offer a wide range of options for us to deposit money into our online casino account, but as we regularly warn our readers some of these options will subject the unwary to unnecessary charges. In particular using a credit card as an online casino deposit option will almost always be subject to a surcharge of up to 2% applied by your bank, plus of course interest from day one because it is considered to be a cash transaction. Some debit cards may also be subject to additional charges which are again an unnecessary cost because there are better alternatives available. Ladbrokes and Paddy Power do allow their online casino customers to manage their accounts with cash at one of their high street betting shops, but although this is a good secure deposit option, it is not always convenient for many of us. The next best online casino deposit option is without doubt an e-wallet account. All the major online casinos are Pay Pal or Neteller casinos, and accept payments through an e-wallet account, and the advantages are many. First and foremost there are no additional bank charges because your bank does not know what you are using your e-wallet for. On top of that your personal banking details are not available to the online casino operator so any transactions are more secure. Take our advice and set up an e-wallet account with Pay Pal or Neteller and use that to fund your casino games.
