US Deposit Methods for Playing Online Casino Slots
February 25th, 2010
Many US players have come to realize that their Mastercard credit cards are not being accepted at online casinos. Some even are having trouble depositing with their Visa cards as well. Players should not panic as this is simply a move by these two major corporations to distance themselves from the online gambling industry. They have decided not to provide their services for gambling within the United States.
This should not come as a big concern for US players. Fortunately there are still ways to fund your online casino account and methods that allow you to receive your winnings. These alternative methods are called electronic wallets, or in shorter form, e-wallets. They are virtual bank accounts that people can use to make purchases and receive money from online sites. Currently US players may use the method called, eWalletXpress, which allows player to fund the EWX account with direct transfers from bank account, or with credit card, or by check system. Players must pay small fees to fund accounts, but once that is done they are able to play freely at most online casinos.
Another option is QuickTender, also known as UseMyWallet, but this method is more exclusive. Not any person can go and register at their site. An official invitation is needed from the online casino site before registration is allowed. If the player qualifies for a QuickTender account, the casino will send the player an email with an activation link and a username.
For the moment US players must be satisfied with these options. In the future things may look better if more companies decide to offer their services to online gaming sites. There are already rumors that ex- senior directors of Mastercard are opening a new credit card company that will process deposits for online gaming sites. The future will tell if such enterprises will become a reality.
