Internet Casino Banking
It is fortunate that the UK and most other countries where online gambling is legal, have the pick of the crop when it comes to online payment options. They may use PayPal, which is a very prominent online payment option in the UK, was well as a large variety of mainstream and alternative options.
We have mentioned PayPal and some of the most popular internet casino banking options other than this in the UK are: UKash which is a prepaid voucher and it purchased for use in all types of online shopping scenarios. Moneybookers, Neteller, Solo, Switch, Click2Pay, ClickandBuy, Master Card, Visa, Visa Electron, Maestro, PaySafeCard, WebMoney, and even Diners or American Express, amongst others. European payment options which are pertinent to country are also included at the best internet casinos, and long lists of these are available to players in Poland, Russia, Sweden, Finland and so on.
The US sites on the other hand, have to streamline their internet casino banking options to cater for a specific set of criteria. US legislation through the auspices of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act, has dictated that financial transactions for online gambling are not allowed to be transacted by banks. It is not online gambling which has been made illegal, only financial transaction. Although there are some US states in which it is illegal to gamble, so players in these states may be taking a risk if Big Brother is watching their online activities.
This has managed to stop mainstream financial institutions such as Master Card and Visa, as well as others, from allowing these transactions. However, if a US player has one of these cards and it is issued through a foreign bank, say in the UK or Virgin Islands, the chances are that a MasterCard or Visa payment may actually be processed.
However, e-wallets in terms of alternative payment methods are simple to come by, and if an internet casino is found and you wish to play on it. Registering for one of these alternative banking options is easily done, and money can be uploaded and then paid to the casino. There is also an additional benefit to using these payment methods, as the member generally receives additional bonuses for deposit. This is generally set at about 15% extra!
Popular internet casino banking methods for US players includes EcoCard/Quicktender, eWalletXpress, UseMyWallet, Wire Transfer, Western Union, JCB, Click2Pay, MoneyGram or Rapid Transfer, Instant Checks, eChecks, and or PrimaPin which is a pre-paid phone card, very similar to Ukash in the UK. Generally USA internet casinos have in-depth information available on alternative payment methods, how they may be used and who can use them, under the "banking" or "cashier" section of the site.
Interestingly, some US sites also accept Diners Club International and American Express, so we can assume that these are safe to use, and transactions will go through. Sometimes however, it is a bit of a trial and error situation getting a payment method which suits both player and casino, so it is best that the US player registers an e-wallet of some description. This life simpler all round and of course there are additional benefits.
