Online casino gambling is fast becoming a preferred pastime for many in Ireland and the UK, probably because with rising petrol prices and the increasing cost of other forms of entertainment people are looking more to entertainment at home. Unlike land based casinos however, online casinos require gamblers to register and open an account into which they can deposit money to play with. In many respects this is a good element of online gambling, because it makes it easier for the casino gambler to set their budget and stick to it. There are of course many ways of depositing funds into an online casino account, and it is important that online gamblers give careful consideration to what is the best method for them. Many online gamblers continue to use debit or credit cards to fund their accounts directly, even though there are often charges levied by the card issuers. Our opinion on the use of effectively borrowed money on a credit card for this purpose are well known by now, but even debit cards will often incur charges when used to fund online casino accounts. If online gamblers want to use debit or credit cards we believe the best option is to fund an e-wallet such as PayPal or Neteller with the cards, and use the e-wallet to fund their online casino account. This system will normally attract no charges, and of course the e-wallet can also be used for a whole range of internet purchases. There are also the advantages that the transactions are private, secure and instantaneous. Alternatively, we must not forget that where the online casino operator also has shops on the High Street, it is possible to fund your account with cash. Clearly using cash has many advantages in terms of privacy and security, and both Paddy Power and Ladbrokes offer this facility to online gamblers in Ireland. The only drawback is that both deposits and hopefully withdrawals can only be done in shop opening hours, and not from your own home. Many would say this also helps to control your budget.
