Online Casino Payment Method Bonus

Online casinos can be pretty bewildering places, we are well aware of that, and that's why we make it our mission to help you through the process so that everything goes smoothly and you don’t fall foul of one of the many cowboys out there.

Different bonuses, currencies, games, software developers, languages – there are a whole lot of variables to think about.

One area which causes a particular amount of concern and consternation is how you make a payment to an online casino.

There has been an upswing in the number of means of depositing money at an online casino, both direct methods, eWallets and pre-paid cards, not to mention the rise and part-fall of Bitcoin; some of them can be used in some jurisdictions, and others in other places (for instance moneta.ru, as its name suggests is geared particularly towards the emerging Russian gaming market).

It’s not surprising therefore that people have difficulty deciding what online casino payment methods to use.

We aim to put that right, so read on and we’ll shed some light on how to make a deposit with an online casino.

There are many secure online casino payment methods

However, we can group them into three main types:

The first is the direct type. This includes methods like Visa and Mastercard (both credit and debit cards) which are naturally the most well-established and reputable gaming payment methods, but they can often incur charges.

The second way to make a secure payment is via eWallet services like Neteller and Skrill (formerly Moneybookers) which involve depositing money into the virtual wallet then releasing it to a third party as a payment, which sometimes can involve charges, and also isn’t available in all jurisdictions. In other words, be sure to check first.

Finally, pre-paid cards like Paysafecard, where you buy a card for a fixed amount and use it, or more properly the number assigned to the card, to make a one-off payment. These methods do not usually incur a charge, and have the added advantage of not leaving a paper trail when making payment.

There is one other thing to note: that of online casino payment method bonuses. This is a phenomenon where a casino will reward you for making payment via a specific method, usually one which costs them less to both receive payment and allow players to withdraw money via.

Whereas some payment methods cannot be used at all by a given casino, a preferred deposit bonus will naturally be offered on the most ideal payment method(s) available to the casino, so it’s worth checking what these are with the casino before making a deposit, in addition to its regular welcome bonuses.
