Regular visitors to this site will know that we do our best to provide information and advice which we hope will help new online casino games players enjoy the experience as much as possible. They will also know that there is one topic which we keep coming back to because it is an area where the wrong decision can be expensive, and that is the question of what is the best way to transfer money to your online casino account. All the major online casinos offer a wide range of casino deposit options, including credit cards, debit cards and e-wallets such as Pay Pal and Neteller, but there is no doubt that some of these deposit options are better than others. By far the best casino deposit option is of course to use cash, and both Paddy Power and Ladbrokes offer this option to their Irish online casino customers through their high street betting shops, but we do not all have easy access to this option nor is it always convenient. As far as the alternative online casino deposit options are concerned, let’s start with the worst choice. Using a credit card as a method of funding playing casino games online is not only inadvisable because it is effectively gambling with borrowed money, it is also a costly option. Firstly the card issuing bank will almost certainly apply a surcharge of up to 2% on any transaction involving gambling, on top of which interest will be payable from day one because it will be considered to be a cash transaction. Even using a debit card as a direct method of transferring money to an online casino account may incur additional charges with some banks, but the online casinos do offer us a better option than either of these. An e-wallet is easy to open and most of the major online casinos accept both Pay Pal and Neteller as a deposit option. Using an e-wallet as an online casino deposit option improves your personal security and provides far more privacy than using plastic. An e-wallet can be funded in any way you like and can be used not only to fund playing casino games, but a wide range of other internet transactions as well.
