| It makes perfect
sense. You’re in line at the mall, want to make the transaction
quick and simple, so you whip out your credit card and go on about
your day. You see some new fancy-dancy trinkets online. Whip out
your credit card and its sitting in your living room in two days.
So if a player has to select a mode of payment at an online casino,
the credit card is obviously the easiest way to go. Right?
Unfortunately, in most cases, the assumption is wrong. The
seemingly endless hurdles and obstacles associated with using a
credit card to pay for casino deposits has led most players to using
alternative methods.
Most online gamblers are from the United
States. But, in yet another example of government acting against
the will of the people, online gambling is technically illegal in
the US. That means most major credit card companies will decline
any casino transactions. In addition, there are many online players
that, flat out, do not feel safe giving out their credit card
information to online casinos. In acknowledgement of this concern,
most reputable online casinos will actually advise players against
using their credit cards.
As if the above reasons were not enough, there
is one overshadowing reason that is solidifying the act of paying
casino deposits with credit card as history. Paying with credit
card happens to be more expensive. Not only do players pay, the
casino is required to pay as well. So, it is not exactly a shock
that alternative methods like Neteller, FirePay, or PaySpark are
taking precedence.
