Deposits

While individual casinos, sportsbooks and other types of betting sites each have their own specific banking methods they all utilize many of the same resources. These include:

Credit/Debit Cards
Firepay
NETeller
Wire Transfer
Checks and Money Orders
PrePaidATM
900pay

Below is a brief description of each of these deposit methods, how they work, and how to use them to fund your online gambling accounts.

Credit/Debit Cards

One of the fastest and easiest ways to fund an online gambling account is through credit/debit cards. All transactions are processed immediately and if approved by the card's issuing company, * funds will be deposited into the player's account immediately. To make a deposit via a credit or debit card, players need simply to log on to their chosen gambling site, select the CASHIER option, choose "Deposit by Credit Card" and fill out the requested personal information. *Due to recent changes in banking procedures, many credit card companies no longer allow deposits to be made into online gambling accounts.


Firepay

Firepay is a payment method whereby players deposit funds into their account in order to transfer funds between themselves and various online merchants (including casinos and other forms of gambling sites). Firepay offers e-mail confirmation of purchases and online account activity statements. Firepay accounts may be funded either directly from a U.S. bank account or via ACH or "E-Checks." To open an account with Firepay visit their web site at www.firepay.com. Make sure that the e-mail address you register with is the same one that you registered with at the casino. The registration process takes 2-3 business days. After registering, follow the steps below to use your Firepay account in the casino:

Log into your casino account
Go the cashier and choose the deposit option
Click on the register new credit card icon.
Fill in the required fields exactly as you did when you opened your Firepay account.
In the space provided for credit card number, enter your Firepay 16-digit number.
In the "expiry" date field, enter the expiry date for your Firepay account.


NETeller

NETeller is a convenient, fast and secure way to transfer money while online. There is no fee to transfer funds to and from casino accounts using NETeller, and player accounts will typically be credited instantly. NETeller offers a wide range of deposit options including: deposits by credit/debit card, electronic fund transfer (EFT), bank deposit as well as NETeller InstaCASH and FCash.
When you have registered with NETeller, simply start the casino and click on "CASHIER". Select "Deposit by NETeller". Enter the amount you would like to deposit, your NETeller account ID, and your NETeller secure ID and press "PROCESS DEPOSIT". Besides the convenience, another reason to use NETeller when funding your account is because some casinos offer additional deposit bonuses to NETeller users. To open a NETeller account or for additional information regarding NETeller's operating procedures, visit their web site at www.neteller.com.


Wire Transfer

A Wire Transfer is an electronic bank transfer from your bank account to an online casino's payment provider. It is one of the safest and fastest methods for funding/withdrawing from an online gambling account. Since wiring instructions vary with each casino, to get started with this deposit method click on the "CASHIER" at the chosen gambling site, select "Wire Transfer" from the deposit options and follow the instructions posted there. In addition to being safe and fast, many online casinos offer players additional deposit bonus cash for using wire transfers.


Checks and Money Orders

Another option for depositing funds into an online gambling account is via a cashier's check or money order. To begin this funding method, players must first visit their selected gambling site, click on "CASHIER" and follow the instructions listed under "deposit by check or money order." Note that to avoid problems or delays, players may be required to enclose personal information (name, provider account, PIN code, etc) with the deposit. Although deposits through checks and money orders generally take longer to appear in the casino account than do others, they may be appealing to some players who can afford to wait. This is because many sites now offer players special comps when funding their accounts via these methods.


PrePaidATM

One of the most recent developments for aiding online gamblers with account funding, PrePaidATM is an online money transfer service that functions like an ATM card, debit card, and money transfer card all in one. Simply deposit money into your PrePaidATM using a credit card, Paypal, electronic check, bank wire, Quick Collect, or card-to-card transfer, and begin making online purchases of any kind. Please note, however, that PrePaidATM is currently available to U.S. residents only.

Cashing Out


Credit/Debit Cards

As with depositing, withdrawing cash from an online casino account to a credit/debit card is one of the fastest and most convenient methods. In previous years, withdrawals made through credit/debit cards were limited to the original deposit amount, thus requiring players to request funds through additional methods, most often via check. Today, many sites now offer players the option to withdraw additional money (i.e. winnings) via their credit card and are no longer constrained to original deposit limits.
When you wish to make a withdrawal, click on "CASHIER". The CASHIER will automatically be adjusted to display "Withdrawal by Credit/Debit Card" if you have registered a card to which the 'Withdrawal by Credit/Debit Card" function is applicable. Select the withdrawal amount, click on the corresponding withdraw processing link and the funds will be transferred onto the credit/debit card.


Firepay

If you have used Firepay to deposit funds, you may quickly and easily withdraw funds back into your Firepay account. All winnings up to the amount purchased using Firepay (within the last 180 days) will be refunded back to your Firepay account free of charge. To withdraw funds through Firepay, simply start the casino and click on "CASHIER". Select "Withdrawal by Firepay" and follow the instructions provided. For further information, please click on HELP in the casino's CASHIER or consult Firepay Help Center. Any additional questions may be directed to Firepay via e-mail at info@firepay.com.


NETeller

NETeller is a convenient, fast and safe way to transfer money online. Even if you have not deposited into your player account using NETeller it is possible to withdraw winnings to your NETeller account, and there is no fee for transfers to and from your casino account. NETeller offers several withdrawal methods including withdrawal by Credit Card, Electronic Funds Transfer, Check, Fed Ex Check and FCash. (If you do not have a NETeller account, please go to www.neteller.com and apply.) To request your winnings please start the casino and click on "CASHIER". Select "Withdrawal by NETeller" and follow the instructions. For further information, please click on HELP in the cashier in the casino or consult NETeller Help.


Wire Transfer

A Wire Transfer is an electronic bank transfer from your casino account to your bank account. For players that do not have a Firepay/NETeller account, Wire Transfer is the fastest way to receive any winnings. A wire transfer reduces the administrative work in cashing in bank drafts or checks since players receive their winnings directly in their bank account. To request winnings by Wire Transfer, simply start the casino and click on "CASHIER". Select "Wire Transfer" from the withdrawal options and follow the instructions that are provided.

Checks and Money Orders

If a player opts not to receive their winnings via Firepay, NETeller or by Wire Transfer, they may request that their funds be sent by Bank Draft/Check. Due to additional processing and shipping constraints, however, receiving a Bank Draft/Check will take longer than receiving a withdrawal via Wire Transfer or other methods. Any payments that need to be received promptly should be requested through other withdrawal options. For further information please start the casino, click on "CASHIER" and select "Withdrawal by Bank Draft/Check". You might also wish to consult HELP in the cashier in the casino.
