Credit cards being rejected?
Many credit cards are rejected when you try to make a deposit at an online casino.
This is due to recent legislation in the United States. Its goal is to regulate
internet gambling. This does not make internet gambling illegal, but the result
is that some banks are blocking gaming/betting transactions.
When you make a deposit at an online casino, always try to use your credit
card. Some still accept credit cards. If it doesn't work, you can try with an
another card. If then your cards continue to be declined, you will have to try
an another payment method, and the following information will help you a lot.
Traditional Payment Methods

reviews " pages for the accepted payment methods of a particular casino.
• Wire Transfers
Wire transfers are a direct way to deposit your money from your bank. When executing
a wire transfer, you will need to provide your account details, casino bank information...
All the needed information are generally displayed by the online casino when you
want to execute the transfer. The only problem is that there is a small delay
(generally a maximum of 5 days) before viewing the cash in your casino account.
There are also some restrictions, and be sure to read carefully all the details
for a wire transfer on the banking page.
• Checks
You can make your deposits easily by check. You then need to find the address/banking
information of the online casino to send the check. The only problem is that your
account will be credited with your money once they receive the check. It can take
some time, however it's a good way to send your money. Please note : there is
a minimum and maximum payment limit that is variable for each online casino.
