Deposits at Online Casinos – How to Make Online Casino Deposits

How to make a deposit at an online casino, which online casino payment methods to use, and the practicalities of depositing in an online casino. So, you've decided to give online gaming a whirl; you've found a site that you like; but now you're not sure what to do, and how to do it. The two areas that must know about with regard to how to make deposits at an online casino are your choice of payment method, and then the practicalities of how to do it.

Payment Options

If you understand the basic differences between the different types of payment options available in order to make deposits at an online casino, you will be half way to successfully making a deposit. You may not find all of these methods represented at all online casino sites; but you will find a good variety of them at most.

Prepaid Cards – This type of payment method is a means of putting money into your online casino account without any connection to a bank. You buy the card either physically or online, and enter the code from it when prompted. This means of completely anonymous deposit.

Credit Card – Making a credit card deposit to an online casino is just like paying for anything else on your credit card. You give the casino your credit card details, and you'll see the debit on your next statement.

E-Wallet: There are two major types of e-wallet options, the type that have an account of their own, that you get a bill for, and the type that takes money straight from your bank account. Either way, the e-wallet providers are a means of making deposits at an online casino without the online casino having any of your bank details, and your bank not having the details of your payment. All the bank will know is that an amount was paid to the e-wallet provider; it will not know where the e-wallet provider sends the money. The most popular e-wallet providers are Neteller, UseMyWallet, FirePay, Click2Pay and Moneybookers. Paypal is also an e-wallet provider but not widely used in the online casino world.
Bank or Wire Transfer – This is a simple means of wiring the money straight from your account or from the wire transfer outlet to the casino. Wire transfers are anonymous. Both types of transfer can take a few days.

Personal Check – Just like sending a check to a friend; this type of payment method is the slowest of all.

You will also find that each of the different methods, and indeed each of the different companies providing the different methods, will require different payment times, have different minimum and maximum deposits, and will work for different charges.

How to Do it

Each casino will have a slightly different deposit process, but every casino provides good instructions on how to do it. Start by going into the "Banking" or "Cashier" section of the site. Here you will see a link to "deposits". If you don't already have an account you will have to register before you can make deposits at an online casino. From that point on, follow the step-by-step online instructions that will guide you through that individual casino's payment process.
