Deposit Methods

[chatterbox]

What is the best way to deposit?

Are all these financial services on the net safe?

[scarlet-sky]

The best way that I like is through Paypal as I find that it's the safest way. I don't mind paying by cheque but giving out your card details isn't a big fav of mine but I have used that method and have no problem so far

The webwallets accepted by most casinos are safe. You should be ok if you stick to the top 3: Neteller, Click2Pay, and Firepay.

You can't use Paypal at casinos so I was surprised to see that option mentioned as a means to deposit for online bingo. So ok Bingo Babies... is Paypal an option at your site?

When I first started online bingo they accepted paypal, but right after paypal quit letting people use them on bingo site, they concider it gambling. (i guess it is..but not like casino)

Anyway....I use Neteller and Click2pay. I like neteller's debt card, you can get your winnings paid out to your neteller account, move it to your neteller card, go to an ATM and get your money! love it!

At one time Paypal was an accepted method of payment thru online Casinos and Bingo sites. The change came about mostly after Ebay aquired Paypal.

Ebay is based in the United States and being that the USA is still considering online gaming as illegal it wasnt possible to own the company and knowingly allow funds to pass thru to online gaming.

Really, the only law on the books is that you cannot place sportsbets via the telephone. They are making a far stretch to apply this.

Every year someoone in congress (Kyle) tries to pass an actual law against online gambling, and every year it fails. I think it's been going on for 4 or 5 years.

There is also a lawsuit filed against the US government for discriminating against online gambling.

And the world court judged the US in violation of trade law for discriminating against online gambling.

So, there really isn't any law against it, which is why every year they try to pass one. And it looks more and more like the US will eventually follow Britain's lead and regulate online gambling.

That will be a great thing, gambling outfits who want it to be legal for US citizens to play at their sites will have to pay a licencing fee and clean up their act. No more shady places.

I have been watching this very closely for years now, and progress is slow but we are slowly starting to head in the right direction here.

Cross your fingers they'll get it right one of these days!

I do miss being able to use Paypal!!

I love my paypal account and I'm not fond of netteller
Firepay has been recommended to me but I don't have an account there yet. I can use my bank debit card with no problems to make a deposit most places and have not had a problem.

I switched to neteller when paypal stopped allowing Bingo deposits and I haven't looked back.

Neteller is nice and safe and easy to navigate.

I use Neteller, have used Firepay, never used Click2Pay. I was very excited when PrePaidATM came on the scene, but they had serious problems for a while with processors ( legal/gov issues I think) and was surprised when they didnt go under. They're back but not as strong and I don't think they'll ever have the foothold they did have. Neteller is the most convenient for me to use.

I use neteller.

I used to have a Firepay account but quit using it for some reason a long time ago.
