GETTING THE 411 ON ONLINE GAMBLING PAYMENT METHODS

Casino City has a helpful new directory for an increasingly confusing sector

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the United States has ensured that the online financial payment sector has become a confusing minefield for players and affiliates, so a new directory launched this week by publishing group Casino City will be especially welcome.

The new directory lists 142 online gambling payment methods on the Online.CasinoCity.com Web site, describing each payment method available at online gambling sites and ranking these in popularity order based on the amount of web traffic received by the gaming sites that use the method.

The list is automatically personalised for each visitor, showing only the payment methods used by sites accepting play from the visitor's geographic location and available in the visitor's language. Visitors may change their location and language preferences at any time. They can also order the list of payment methods by number of sites accepting the payment method or alphabetically by payment method name.

VISA and MasterCard, which are accepted by 2 000 sites, top the list of most popular payment methods, followed by bank wire transfer and Neteller. Moneybookers, VISA Electron, Diners Club, Solo, Maestro, and playsafecard round out the top ten. For complete information, visit the directory at http://online.casinocity.com/payment-methods/

When visitors click on a payment method in the directory, they are given some background information on the payment method and also a list of all online gambling sites using that method, ranked by popularity and personalised for the visitor's location and language preferences.
