    • Depositing by Prepaid Cards


    So you want to start playing at an online casino? You've picked your favourite one, quite possibly from one of our recommended online casinos because that's where the best bonuses are and now you want to deposit some money but what's the best method?



    If you've been keeping up with our advice you'll know that various methods have their own advantages and drawbacks - credit cards are instant but you may well end up paying some fees and of course the interest rate on the money borrowed. Debit cards are reliable but you can't borrow any extra money from your bank. A digital wallet is a method gaining popularity but not everyone likes all their banking details stored online. Lastly we looked at bank transfers, an ultra-reliable method but international transfers will cost you money and the transfer may take several days.



    The method we're going to discuss today is one of the more recent and it's ideal for those not holding bank accounts or those without any kind of credit facility. The Prepaid card has been available for various different processes for some time - the mobile phone top-up is a good example - but the casino versions are a relatively new phenomenon.



    The idea is that you go to a shop which sells the prepaid vouchers, quite often petrol stations or small shops in Europe (Ukash is a major UK vendor) and buy one or more of the vouchers for cash. You then use this voucher to deposit at any participating online casino. The advantage is that it's fee free and that you don't need a credit facility or a bank account. Additionally you can't get yourself in debt. The obvious drawback is that you can't withdraw your winnings via the same method and you must find yourself an alternative.



    It's also worth noting that some UK based online casinos have their own prepaid cards which can be purchased by going into one of their bricks and mortar betting outlets. Usually you can use this voucher at any participating online venue.
