From time to time we like to offer a few tips regarding playing casino games at an online casino. These are normally directed at new potential online casino customers, but our online casino tip this month applies to anyone who enjoys playing casino games online. Our recent article about the use of credit cards to fund an online casino account has prompted us to revisit the question of how best to transfer money into such an account. The online casinos themselves offer a wide range of deposit options clearly designed to make such deposits as easy as possible and to suit as many of their potential customers as possible. These range from cash deposits at their High Street shops, an option offered by both Paddy Power and Ladbrokes in Ireland, plus credit and debit cards and in most cases e-wallets such as PayPal and Neteller. Clearly the safest and most secure deposit option is cash, but many of us do not have a betting shop within easy reach and may in any event want to manage our online casino accounts outside opening hours. Our opinion as to the use of credit cards to fund playing casino games online is well documented and the additional costs explained, but we should also point out that some banks may also apply a surcharge to the use of debit cards to fund gambling activities. That leaves us with the e-wallets as the next best deposit option after cash. The two best known e-wallets are accepted by most of the major online casinos, and offer several advantages over the use of plastic. The privacy and security offered by the use of an e-wallet are the overriding factors, because your bank will not know how the account is being used and the online casino will have no knowledge of your bank details. Both of the major e-wallets can also be used for many other online financial transactions, adding to your personal security for online purchases as well. There is no doubt that an e-wallet is the best online casino deposit option, and you can fund the e-wallet in any way you choose, usually without additional costs except of course interest if you use a credit card.
