Many of us use the internet to seek advice on a variety of topics, and a good website can be invaluable in this search. Clearly here at onlinecasino.ie we hope we can provide that sort of service for people who are thinking of playing casino games at an online casino. To that end we have dedicated a large proportion of this site to explaining the rules of most of the traditional casino games you will find when you visit an online casino for the first time. We also try to provide regular advice to potential new casino games players which we feel will enhance their online casino experience, and may even save them money. Playing casino games at an online casino can of course cost you money anyway, as with any form of gambling, but there are other potential cost which can be avoided. All the online casinos offer a wide variety of deposit options to enable their customers to play their casino games, including credit cards, debit cards and e-wallets such as Pay Pal or Neteller, but some are better than others. Using a credit card to fund an online casino account for instance will almost certainly result in the card issuing bank applying a surcharge on the transaction, which can be as much as 2%. Using a credit card for this purpose is also considered to be a cash transaction and therefore attracts interest from day one. Some debit cards can also be a problem. In Ireland many of us use a Laser debit card, but the Laser card is not always recognised outside of Ireland and some online casinos will not accept the Laser card. Fortunately some of our most popular online casinos such as Paddy Power, Ladbrokes and Party casino are all Laser casinos and accept the Laser card. When it comes to choosing the best deposit option though we would always recommend opening an e-wallet account and using that account to fund playing your casino games. This is by far the best way to preserve your privacy and security.
