10/01/2003 Online Payment Options
Last November, PayPal, one of the most popular online payment options ceased to accept online casino purchases. In addition, more and more bank credit cards are going the same route.
However, online real money gamblers should not despair, as there are still several alternative payment methods available. And casinos are making a concerted effort to attract play-for-money players through lucrative bonuses while assuring them of their secure, reliable systems.
Some of the more widely recognized payment options include the following:
FirePay (www.firepay.com) is a free web-based cash account. Offering a preferred solution for U.S. bank account holders, you can fund your FirePay account directly from your U.S. bank account, and immediately pay with the deposited funds. In addition, FirePay claims no rejected transactions.
Citadel (www.citadelcommerce.com) is one of the newest transfer funds systems for online casinos. Citadel enables players with US checking accounts to send electronic checks to be deposited into your casino account.
NETeller (www.neteller.com) provides same-day payments and virtually instant cash transfers online. US citizens only are eligible for NetTeller InstaCash deposits. These deposits work like using your bankcard. Provided that you meet all the requirements, once you make an InstaCash deposit request the funds will be available in your NETeller account instantly.The NETeller Website also enables you to access your account information including balance and transaction history.
Other options for players across the globe include direct bank transfers and money transfer facilities such as Western Union. Whatever option you use, make sure you?re dealing with a reputable casino and be certain that your money is transferred in a secure manner.
