During the course of a year we often return to the question of how best to fund playing casino games at an online casino. On the face of it this should not be a particularly difficult decision, but there are some pitfalls associated with some of the available online casino deposit options which we feel it is important to know. Most of these problems are associated with the use of a credit card as a deposit option, primarily because most of the banks will apply a surcharge of up to 2% on any credit card transaction associated with gambling. This is of course in addition to the interest which any credit card cash transaction attracts from day one, making it a potentially very expensive way to fund playing casino games. If you elect to use plastic to fund your online casino account, at least make it a debit card so that you are not penalised for enjoying your leisure pursuit. Almost all the online casinos will accept most debit cards as a casino deposit option although there can be problems with the Laser card. Many of us in Ireland have a Laser debit card but this card is not well recognised outside of Ireland and some online casinos will currently not accept a Laser card. Fortunately some of the most popular online casinos in Ireland are Laser casinos and will accept this form of payment. Paddy Power, Ladbrokes and Party casino are all Laser casinos and between them offer a good range of casino games which should satisfy most people wishing to play online casino games. It is also possible to use a Laser card to fund an e-wallet such as Pay Pal or Neteller and then use the e-wallet to fund your casino games, providing better security and a bigger range of online casinos to choose from.
