Not all online casinos accept a Laser card

From time to time here at onlinecasino.ie we run the risk of being accused of repeating ourselves, but there are certain topics where the benefits of repeating ourselves are worth the risk. One of those is the question of what is the best way for new online casino games players to fund playing casino games at an online casino. Whilst we obviously target our advice primarily at new online casino customers it is of course equally valid for existing online casino games players. All the online casinos offer a wide range of deposit options designed to make it as easy as possible for their customers to transfer funds to their account, but some of these options can prove costly and are best avoided if at all possible. The worst by far is the use of a credit card as an online casino deposit option, not only because it means you are gambling with borrowed money but the banks will also apply a surcharge for using a credit card for gambling, which can be as much as 2%. If you must use plastic a debit card is usually a better option, but some banks will still charge extra even though it is your money. In Ireland many people carry a Laser debit card, but this can cause problems because the Laser card is not always recognised outside of Ireland. Some online casinos such as Paddy Power, Ladbrokes and Party casino are Laser casinos, but many are not, which restricts your choice somewhat. Fortunately almost all the online casinos offer a better alternative as a deposit option, and that is the e-wallet. The best known e-wallet is Pay Pal, but Neteller is also a widely used e-wallet account accepted by most online casinos. Using an e-wallet account to fund playing casino games online does not attract additional charges and significantly improves your privacy. You can also fund an e-wallet account using your Laser card if you choose to do so.
