Choosing an online casino in which to play is often more about whether you like the name of the casino or the casino games that they are offering but you should also consider how you intend to deposit funds and withdraw winnings and from this aspect a credit card casino is the most popular. A credit card casino is one that accepts all the major credit cards both for deposits and for withdrawals. The credit card has been around for some time and many of us do not think twice about using it for all kinds of purchases and that includes online casinos; in fact the credit card remains the most popular method to deposit funds into an online casino account but it is our duty to point out that it may not always be the best method. Unlike your regular purchases deposits into your casino with a credit card will carry at least one charge and that is from the bank that operates your credit card. You will sometimes find holiday companies or airlines making a charge for using a credit card but the bank will not unless it is a gambling company when they will. For some reason known only to themselves banks have decided to levy a charge on a credit card used to pay any company associated with gambling and that even includes the UK football pools companies. Your online casino should not charge you for using a credit card but some still do so check carefully before you use it. There of course several alternatives to using a credit card in a casino and most of them are covered in our deposit options page plus we run regular articles about the subject; the most recent method available at some online casinos is cash but there has to be a high street presence for this to be offered. By all means use your credit card for your casino but be aware that there are charges.
