When you have chosen which online casino you wish to register with to play your favourite casino games, the next important question you will need to address is how you are going deposit money into your online casino account. Almost all the major online casinos offer a wide range of options which they hope will suit all their customers, but it is down to the customer to choose which deposit option is best for them. Many people automatically reach for the plastic when they are purchasing goods on the internet, and both debit and credit cards are generally accepted as funding options for playing casino games online. Clearly a debit card is the best choice if you are using plastic, and the Maestro card is one of the most popular debit cards in Ireland. All our top three online casinos, namely Paddy Power, Ladbrokes and Party Casino, are Maestro casinos and will not charge any additional fees for a Maestro card transfer, but you will need to register your card details with the online casino operator. Outside of Ireland, the Maestro card is not as well known, and you may find that some online casinos do not accept it as a deposit option. If you are not keen on letting the casino operator have access to your card details, there is an increasingly popular alternative funding option, and that is the e-wallet. Both Pay Pal and Neteller are accepted by most of the major online casinos, and of course you can still use your Maestro card to fund your e-wallet if you wish. If you are looking for better security, but still want to use a credit card or a debit card such as the Maestro card, the e-wallet is the best solution and they are also accepted by most online retailers for other purchases.
