It is probably right to assume that new visitors to this site are considering starting to play casino games at an online casino, and are therefore seeking further information on how to proceed. Assuming that our new player has decided which of our recommended online casinos they prefer to use, the next important decision is how to fund their online casino account and this is a decision which requires a bit more thought than some might think. Every online casino site offers a wide variety of casino deposit options, ranging from credit and debit cards to e-wallets such as Pay Pal and Neteller. In Ireland those with easy access to a Ladbrokes or Paddy Power betting shop may even decide to manage their account in cash, but for the rest of us we have a choice to make. Nowadays many of us would choose to use a credit card for online transactions, but using a credit card to fund playing casino games online is not a good idea. Firstly there is the question of whether it is acceptable or right to gamble with what is effectively borrowed money, but on top of that the banks will almost certainly add a surcharge of up to 2% on any credit card transaction involving gambling followed by interest on the money from day one because it is considered to be a cash transaction. We would suggest that starting to play casino games with a loss is not a good way to win. There is no doubt in our minds that the best online casino deposit option is to open an e-wallet account with a provider such as Pay Pal or Neteller and use that account to fund playing your casino games. This deposit option automatically improves your security and privacy because your bank will not know what you are doing with your money, nor will the online casino have access to your bank details. How you choose to fund your e-wallet account is then up to you although we would still not recommend using a credit card because the interest would still be payable from day one.
