Online Gambling Banking
As you probably know, the government in your locale may have placed restrictions
on your ability to gamble online. In order to police online gambling activity,
they have made it difficult to simply charge funds directly from a credit card
to an Internet casino. For instance, in the United States, some VISA and MASTERCARD
credit cards won't allow you to directly deposit money into certain online casino
accounts. Moreover, most online casinos won't be able to credit your credit
card with your winnings when you're finished playing.
So, what's the best way to get funds into (and back out of) an online casino?
Use 3rd party payment providers. Companies such as Neteller,
FirePay, Citadel, Click2Pay,
EcoCard, Prepaid ATM, and others have popped
up to provide banking services (almost exclusively) to online casino players.
If you've used PayPal before, the process will be extremely familiar to you.
In order to start the process, sign up for and account with one of the 3rd
party payment providers offered by your casino. We recommend Neteller,
as it's the industry leader, it's been proven safe and secure, and it's accepted
by almost every online casino. Regardless, each of these online banking companies
will allow you to deposit funds via credit card, wire transfer (directly from
your bank) and numerous other means into your new payment provider account.
In turn, the online casino will accept payment directly from your newly selected
payment provider.
Here's a description of the setup process using Neteller:
1) Go to the Neteller website: http://www.neteller.com
2) Sign-up for a Neteller account (enter your first name, last name, and a valid
email address). Neteller will send you a verification email to complete the
sign-up process.
3) Complete the sign-up process and you'll receive a Neteller Account ID and
Secure ID.
4) Login into Neteller using your Neteller Account ID, Secure ID, and your password.
5) Now, deposit funds directly into your Neteller account using a credit card,
bank transfer, etc...
6) Once funds have been deposited, visit the online casino and login with your
casino login information
7) Next, follow links to the Banking or Cashier section on the casino's website.
8) As a deposit option, select "Neteller" and you will be required
to enter your Neteller Account ID or Neteller email address and the amount that you wish to
transfer to the casino. Click the button to submit the page, and the transfer
will occur immediately.
9) You're now ready to play!
Gamble away, when and if you're ready to "cash out" your casino
account, you can deposit the funds directly to your Neteller account. In turn,
Neteller can send you a check or pull your Neteller funds directly to a checking
account via wire transfer.
The process will vary slightly if you choose to use a 3rd party payment provider
other than Neteller. However, it should follow the same basic steps. Now, go
give it a try!
