HOW CAN I PURCHASE CHIPS AT THE CASINO?
Once you have downloaded the casino software and set up your casino account, you will be asked whether you want to play for free as a guest or whether you want to play for real money. Taking the real money option will automatically open the banking module or 'cashier' because as a new player you will not have any casino credits in your account. You will then be given a choice of methods of getting funds into your casino account.DEBIT AND CREDIT CARDS
This is the safest, quickest and easiest way of making a deposit at a UK online casino. You will need to register your chosen card with the banking module so that it can be authorised prior to use. This will happen instantly if there are no problems and you can then enter an amount that you wish to add to your casino playing account. The funds are available to play with immediately.Is it safe to use my credit card online?
All debit and credit card transactions made with the casino banking module are protected by 128-bit SSL encryption technology. This makes your online transaction safer than any form of offline transaction provided that you are dealing with a reputable company. Please read our SSL Encryption article which will give you a clear and detailed understanding of how amazingly safe this technology is.I thought credit cards were banned from online casinos?
Not in the UK is the short answer. We are fortunate in this country that our government is not taking the strict line that Congress is taking in the United States. You are free to use any debit (Visa Delta, Visa Electron, Switch, Solo) or credit card (Visa, Mastercard) to deposit at online casinos from this country. Take a look at our 'Useful Links' box to the right to find out in detail what the laws are that govern online gambling in the UK and USA and what each country has planned for the future.BANK WIRE OR WIRE TRANSFER
This is a transfer direct from your bank account to the casino bank account. The easiest way to do it is via Internet Banking but it will take 3 working days to clear and a minimum deposit of £100 will normally apply. You could also use CHAPS, a UK banking system, which clears within 1 working day but would incur a £25 charge.PERSONAL CHEQUE
These can be sent to the individual UK casinos but you would need to allow up to 10 working days for the funds to clear. Payee and address details can be found by clicking through to your casino website of choice and reading through their banking information.NETELLER
Think of this as a middle man. It is an online cash holding facility that you can use to make deposits to online casinos. You can add funds to your NETELLER account from your credit card and then deposit to your casino account from your NETELLER account. We know – a bit of a waste of time for us in the UK as we can use any card we like but it is the method of choice in the USA where credit and debit card deposits are not allowed directly.
