Is a credit card casino account a good idea

It’s time to return to one of the most important choices you will make when you start to play casino games at an online casino, and that is the question of how you are going to make deposits and hopefully withdrawals from your online casino account. We make no apologies for addressing this question on a regular basis because we believe it to be as important a factor in your enjoyment of playing casino games online as the games themselves. In this day and age there is a tendency for all of us to reach for a credit card when paying for online transactions, and often with good reason because of the insurance element associated with using a credit card for online purchases, but a credit card casino account is another matter. Firstly, funding an online casino account is a cash transaction and therefore attracts interest from day one. Secondly, most credit card companies will automatically levy a 2% charge on any gambling transactions, and although every online casino will accept credit cards as a deposit option some may also make a charge. These two factors alone mean that you will have already lost money before you have even started to play any casino games. There is also another very important factor to bear in mind before you reach for your credit card, and that is whether it is ever a good idea to gamble with borrowed money, because that is what using a credit card to pay for online casino games really is. Plastic is of course a very convenient way to carry out online transactions, but for depositing money into an online casino account a debit card is a much better option than a credit card. Even better is to open an e-wallet account which you can then use for almost all online transactions, including purchases and funding casino games, plus you will have the benefit of much greater security for your personal financial information.
