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. If you really do want to use a credit or debit card as a deposit option, then at least use it to fund a Pay Pal account and avoid the charges. Obviously if you use a credit card there will still be interest charged from day one as it is considered to be a cash transaction.
