As an aside, the deposit methods are a problem especially for the welcome bonus.
I always take the signup.bonus to test new casinos, but bonuses are not allowed on
MB or Neteller deposits,...only on credit card deposits, and then only VISA. Since I use mastercard only and the aforementioned ewallets, I can't play.
I just don't understand why bonuses arent allowed for ewallets. Considering there is a zero risk of chargeback, it would seem to be the best option...??
Maybe they only want US players to have these bonuses. US players are not going to worry about Neteller and Moneybookers. Other than this, it seems odd given the greater scam potential of credit cards when being used by new players. Not only could the cards be stolen, but even legitimate deposits could be charged back by telling the card company the card was lost/stolen shortly before the time of deposit when the player has lost, but not of course if they have won. It is hard to prove a card was not lost unless the player is stupid enough to use it again elsewhere when it is supposedly lost, but not yet reported as such.
The same fraud can of course be pulled with an eWallet, deposit into eWallet, lose at casino, and then charge back card deposit to eWallet saying card was lost earlier. The eWallet then charges back to the casino, which loses whether the scam is direct via a card, or through an eWallet. The only difference is that the eWallet verifies the card, not the casino. Meybe the casino feels safer knowing the card details at the time of deposit so that they can check it against a list of chargebacks, rather than wait for the eWallet to find out days later and come asking for the money back from the casino, which they may already have paid out to a winning player, and not actually made from a losing one.
