Question for some of the more informed members

[lots0]

My suggestion would be to NOT USE any ewallet.

Most casinos will accept direct deposits from players, Money Orders or Personal Checks, Wire Transfers, Western Union.

It may take a little longer for the deposit to show up (you can fedx over night in most cases).

When you don't use an Ewallet at least you don't have to worry about them screwing you out of your money or giving your personal information away to whoever asks (Remember Neteller?) or having duplicate charges show up or your account emptied out....

Lots of negatives to using any Ewallet, with just a little bit of convenience being the only positive.

Talk to your casino Rep, I'm sure they will be more than happy to fill you in.

Thanks, but I prefer ewallets for a few reasons:

I refuse to pay high fees. Why should I when I have a casino in the same city I live in. I am a low roller who doesn't deposit more than $50 at a time and never ever will, so the high fees of things like western union etc are just not worth it for me. Worth the risk, IMO.

I've never had a problem with Instadebit, they've never taken out a cent more then they tell me they're going to, and they're fast and way cheaper than Neteller ever was.

I'm not saying that one day shit might hit the fan, but that's when you call the bank and get the charges reversed. For me, it's just worth the risk. We all risk gambling online, no matter how you deposit. Unfortunately with it being such an unregulated industry, we all run that risk.

As far as the fees go, I think sending a check by snail mail is less than 50 cents, of course you do have to wait a while for the deposit to show up.

I think you can over night a letter for about $12-15 and three days for about $5 or so.

Anyway, I just don't like Ewallets much and I personally will put up with some inconvenience so I don't have to deal with any of them.

If your a regular player (even small deposits), your favorite casino might be more than willing to come up with some perks for direct depositing with them. The Casinos have to pay your transfer fees to the ewallet every time you deposit through them.

Anyway it was just a suggestion.

Lol you keep citing this as one of your reasons jen why you wont use a credit card or why you wont pay smal fees to gamble or deposit because you have a casino 20 mins away. Well you might do but you obviously prefer playing web based casinos than going to real venue casinos. Simply impossible to class a online casino as anywhere near remotely the same as a real venue. Either way i too would suggest you get yourself a credit card with a small limit ( so you cant build up too much debt. Lots of credit cards dont charge fees for deposits, it takes less than 10 seconds to make a deposit and i have never have to worry about on line fraud Still if you prefer going through all this aggro every time you want to play who am i to argue

I am not one that's gonna wait for a check to clear. I can't always "plan" my gambling funds. One day I might think I have $50 to spend only to have something come up and realize that I have nothing. Sending a check and waiting for it to clear (my bank takes about a week to clear any check) could be a nightmare for someone like me.

What aggrivation do I have to go through everytime I deposit? None really, the odd time a casino will remove my deposit option, so then I find a new accredited casino. No biggie, and only frustrates me for a day or two. My deposits are typically very fast, easy, cheap, and it comes out of my bank account within 2 working days.

As for credit cards, never ever going to happen. I have watched my parents go way too far into debt with credit cards and I'll be damned if I am going to do the same. IMO credit cards are for emergencies, and that does not include my gambling urges.

And yes, I do prefer online gaming, based on the fact that I don't have to drive 20 minutes and I can play whatever I want - BUT - if it were to happen that I could not gamble online, I'd live. I'd just visit the B&M a whole lot more.
