The Credit Card Blues Hits Online Gaming
16 December 2002
Using a credit card for online gaming "real time" has become a nuisance. Many credit card companies are rejecting customer requests to use their credit card to gamble online. Yet, no law has been passed to outlaw credit card usage for online gambling.
The best way to get around the credit card blues is to first try again to see if your credit card has been initially rejected. Sometimes you might be lucky and your request to "buy chips" for online gaming might be honored. If not, try to use another credit card if you have one. You could also try to apply for a credit card through a bank that will allow you to spend your money the way you want to!
You can also take advantage of the free set-up options FirePay and Neteller offer. These two payment methods allow you to deposit using your credit card or bank account. You can then take the available funds and use them for gaming online purposes. Though, if we go to the end of the spectrum plate, the best way to "buy chips" without anyone meddling in your right to gamble, is to obtain a bank wire. This might be a more complex way to go and you might have to pay a fee, but you will have the freedom to "buy your chips" and play.
There are some casinos that allow debit/ATM cards and your earnings can be collected at cash machines. Some casinos allow electronic checks. For Western Union money transfers or check or money orders, these options could take weeks, especially if you are playing offshore. As this upset to the gaming industry , moves stealthily through, gaming venues have been working on new alternative payment methods for it's customers. New online deposit services have been popping up rapidly and in that give "gaming goers" a wider table of options to choose from. These different methods enable the customer to choose a service that best suits his personal financial state among other criteria's. A determined stream of online gaming head honchos are on top of this matter and have been going the extra mile for it's customers and It's own survival .They intend to fight till the bitter end until they win this ultimately, if you will, Bureaucratic "political game".
