Varieties of payment methods have become a unique selling point for most of the online casinos of the modern world as they increase the flexibility. This is true that immense technological development and the emerging needs of global fund transfer have increased the ways of financial transaction all over the world. No more, one has to wait for the bank transfer only; today's generation can enjoy a host of methods that can easily bring the money to their door steps. The evolution of paypal, neteller, moneybookers or such many other banks have been availed of by several online casinos for their deposit and withdrawals. The recent development in US due to the October law 2008, has left most of the online casinos in a confusing state and even payment gateways have become highly hesitant.
Perhaps its better to start with the most common payment methods, which are prohibited to the US casino players at this point of time. The most popular and widely accepted Paypal has barred all casino transactions since its inception. Even ePassport, FirePay, Neteller, Citadel, MyCitadel, MoneyBookers have barred the US casino players. This is also to note that US casino players have faced difficulties in using Instadebit, though no official announcements have come as yet. The same logic holds good for Central Coin. EcoCard has got a real insignificant presence in the US. Gift Cards have already stopped functioning. PaySpark and EZIPay accept transactions from the citizens of US where online casinos have not been declared illegal.
Let us list out the states, where online casinos or gambling has been legally restricted. The names are Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin.
Now the critical question comes in fore is what are the payment methods available for US casino players. Its a solace for US casino players that there are plenty of payment methods available besides the above list, which they can avail themselves of to enjoy the exciting online casinos. Visa Credit Cards and Master Cards have always been preferred for payment options for US players and they can continue using them. Even Amex card can be used for the online casinos which accept Amex cards.
Western Union Money Transfer with its incredible instant credit facilities has never imposed any restriction on online casino players of US. The US casino players can still avail themselves of the cherished tradition of Wire transfer through which money is debited or credited to your bank account directly. MoneyGram and eWalletXpress can be ideally used by the US casino players, as before. Us online casino players can still continue with the Solid Debit, NetPay and Diners Club. eCheck continues to accept payment from the old casino players who have been using eCheck before the ban. UseMyBank also has been consistently accepting US casino players.
Lets be optimistic that the recent confusing scenario will get over soon to entail the US casino players to indulge into the extravaganza of online casinos.
