Pokies Deposit Methods

For fans of pokies, there is a plentiful selection of online casinos that accept a wide variety of payment methods.  For players in Australia, there are dozens of major deposit methods – of which the most popular will be outlined in this article.

Credit Cards

Perhaps the easiest way to deposit into an online casino account and start playing the pokies is to fund via a credit or debit card.  Almost all online gambling establishments accept both Visa & MasterCard branded credit cards.  Debit cards which take funds directly from your checking or savings account are also accepted as long as they carry the Visa or MasterCard logo on the front or back.  American Express & Discover cards may also be accepted, but not at all online casinos. Both bank issued cards as well as pre-paid gift cards that are available for purchase in convenience stores are accepted.  Many players prefer to use pre-paid credit cards as the transaction is anonymous and the player can load the card with a set amount of dollars to better budget their gaming activities.

Online Payment Methods

An equally popular way of depositing is with online payment methods.  The term “online payment method” refers to a myriad of virtual wallet services that let you take money directly from your bank account and transfer it to you online gaming account.  Skrill Moneybookers, Neteller, and PayPal are the three top online payment methods.  Many customers choose these because they are quick and anonymous.  Instead of an online casino showing up on your bank statement only the online payment method will and the amount you have transferred.

Cash Vouchers

If you prefer to deposit with cash you can do this as well.  All you need to do is take your money to a convenience store and purchase one of many cash vouchers such as uKash, Ticket Premium, or ECO Card.  On the back of your voucher is a unique code that you can submit to the online casino.  Just plug in the code and the amount you want to take off the voucher and you will see the money in your account within 30 seconds.  Cash vouchers offer the ultimate in security and privacy as there is no paper trail of you buying the voucher or statement sent to your home.  Just be sure to hold onto your voucher and keep it in a safe place after purchase as there are no refunds after purchasing.
