Credit & Debit Cards
Debit cards are fairly self-explanatory in that you canot deposit more than the funds you have available in your bank account. This would be my preferred option over a credit card, although it's worth pointing out to UK users that if you wish to use a MAESTRO card at casinos, then you need to open the casino account in UK Pounds - Maestro will not work with retailers using foreign currencies. There are problems with credit cards, most notably getting cashouts back to Mastercard. However there are alternatives, called "PrePaid" cards that you may be able to use if you are in a country where credit card use is restricted. Have a look at the prepaid methods. Also note that using a debit card is more reliable as some casinos are not able/not willing to refund winnings and cashouts back to a credit card, which can come as an unpleasant surprise when it's time to cash out. You should check with the casino before you deposit using a credit card to see if this option is available (this info is usually available on the "Banking" page on each casino's website).However, if you also have an eWallet such as Neteller, you can add funds using a credit card or a debit card to your eWallet, and then use the eWallet to deposit and withdraw from a casino. You can then either make a bank wire withdrawal from your eWallet back to your bank account, or use the ATM card if provided by the eWallet provider.
