Most online casinos now accept PayPal as a deposit option

When online casinos were first introduced there was often a limited choice of deposit options, making the choice of how we funded playing casino games online a significant factor when choosing which online casino to register with. Nowadays almost all the online casinos offer a wide range of deposit options designed to suit the needs of all their customers so that the onus of making the right choice is firmly in our own hands. Our views on using credit cards as a deposit are generally well known to our regular readers, so we will only repeat the warnings about the additional surcharges associated with using a credit card for gambling purposes. Next comes the debit card as a deposit option, better by far than a credit card but still liable for additional charges with some banks even though it is not borrowed money. In terms of personal security and privacy managing an online casino account with cash is clearly the best option, and both Ladbrokes and Paddy Power currently offer this facility in Ireland through their betting shops. Equally secure and private is the e-wallet, which is a separate account that can be used for a variety of online transactions including funding online casino games. The best known e-wallet is of course Pay Pal, and almost all online casinos are now Pay Pal casinos which accept deposits from a Pay Pal account. The advantages of using a Pay Pal account to fund playing casino games are that your bank has no idea what you are using the account for and nor does the online casino operator have access to your bank details, so your privacy is secure.

All the online casinos on this list will provide a safe secure environment in which to enjoy playing their casino games, so the final choice probably comes down to personal preference of layout or particular games. Having chosen an online casino, the next big decision is how to open an account and make deposits into that account. All the online casinos give you a choice of deposit options, including credit cards, debit cards and at least one e-wallet, the best known of which is PayPal. Anyone who has purchased something on e-bay will be aware of PayPal as a payment option, but may not be aware that PayPal can also be used to fund an online casino account. Most major online casinos are PayPal casinos, and there are many reasons why we believe an e-wallet such as PayPal should be most people’s preferred option. First and foremost, there are no additional bank charges associated with setting up a PayPal account even if you choose to use a credit card to finance it. Most credit card issuers are in the habit of applying additional charges for transactions involving gambling, plus interest from day one because it is a cash transaction. Using a PayPal account to fund your casino games also provides more personal privacy, because your bank or card issuer will not know what you are using the account for, and nor will the online casino have access to your bank details.

Funding your online casino with PayPal is a good idea

Most online casino players give quite a bit of thought to which casino they wish to play at but it is also important to consider which method you are going to use to deposit money into your account and hopefully use the same method to withdraw your winnings. Most online casinos have plenty of choice of deposit methods to enable you to play your favourite casino games but not all deposit methods are equal. A simple credit card remains a popular method but as this is an internet transaction the specialist internet financing companies such as PayPal casino can offer a better alternative. PayPal in Europe is registered in Luxembourg as a bank and it has been owned by eBay since 2002 and it is one of the largest internet financial transaction companies around. (more…)

PayPal has many advantages as a casino deposit option

There are many different ways of depositing and withdrawing money from your online casino accounts but probably one of the most used is PayPal. PayPal is most associated with e-bay but it was actually in existence before e-bay; it must however be recognised that the growth of eBay has really put PayPal on the map as a payment method for any internet transaction and in fact eBay purchased PayPal in 2002 thus bringing the two companies even closer together. Today the European operations of PayPal are based in Luxembourg but there is a local connection for Irish users as there is an office in Dublin. PayPal casino is nothing more than a specialised bank for internet payments and they carry out thousands of transactions per day; PayPal does not offer credit facilities so you need to have the money available to carry out any purchase using eBay and that includes funding your online casino with PayPal to play your favourite casino games.
