Choose the right online casino deposit option

Most of us who play casino games at an online casino do it for fun and accept that it is likely to cost us some money, just like most other leisure activities. We accept that the online casinos will always have an edge because that is the nature of the gambling business, but there is something we can do to minimise the cost of playing our favourite casino games. We refer of course to making a sensible choice when deciding how to fund our online casino account. All the online casinos offer us a variety of deposit options designed to ensure that we are all able to access and play their casino games, but some of these deposit options will cost you money before you have even started playing any casino games. The online casinos will happily accept most credit cards for example as a casino deposit option, but even if we ignore the dubious aspect of gambling with borrowed money using a credit card to fund playing casino games is definitely frowned upon by the banks. This almost certainly means that they will apply a surcharge of up to 2% on any transaction associated with gambling, and they will also charge interest from day one because it is a cash transaction in the same way as withdrawing money from a cash machine using your credit card. These two charges combined will be the equivalent of almost doubling the house edge on any casino games you play. We should also point out that some banks will even apply a surcharge on the use of a debit card as a deposit option, so let’s look at the alternatives. Apart from cash, the best deposit option is undoubtedly through an e-wallet account such as Pay Pal or Neteller, both of which are accepted by almost all the online casinos. Opening an e-wallet account is very easy and has many advantages in terms of privacy and security. Your bank will for instance not know what you are doing with your e-wallet account, and the online casino will not have any access to your personal banking details. Both of these factors increase your privacy and security.
