Deposits
Historically the most common way to deposit money into your online casino account has been by credit card - particularly VISA, Mastercard and (to a lesser extent Diners Club). While credit cards are still a popular option, and are accepted by all online casinos, recent moves by some issuing banks to bar transactions with online casinos (particularly Providian, Bank of America, Wachovia, Wells Fargo and Capital One) have made credit cards an increasingly difficult option for U.S. residents.
All online casinos offer a variety of other secure deposit options provided by 'digital wallet' providers. Basically, you fund your digital wallet account and then use this account to deposit into the casino. These payment options are safe and secure and protect your personal information and are now offered by quite a few companies. Instructions for using these methods are provided at participating casinos.
