Prepaid Cards Becoming More Popular In Online Casinos

Casino News - September 22nd, 2009 - Written by Glen

Most credit card companies are blocking players from depositing into their online casinos, as credit card companies are tightening their grip on "high risk" debt. Because of this, players have been looking for new methods of deposit. Prepaid cards are rising in popularity, as they can be purchased with cold, hard cash and still used as a credit card.

Prepaid cards work like credit cards, in that they carry a similar series of numbers, and occasionally an expiration date. These can be entered as a credit card, and thus a deposit is made easier. There is no chance of the bank blocking your credit card, as the funds have already been paid for and there is no chance for default or overdraft.

Prepaid Card Casinos are becoming more and more popular and are the preferred casino for players all over the United States. Prepaid cards can be purchased in a variety of locations. Most commonly they can be found at the Wal-Mart check out counter, or indeed any store similar to Wal-Mart, such as super markets and occasionally convenience stores. These cards work just like credit cards, and can be purchased out right. Furthermore, they do not carry finance charges. There is usually a fee affixed to the purchase of the card, which is typically no more then five dollars.

One of the best parts about prepaid cards is their safety. Prepaid cards carry none of your own personal information, which means they can be entered with out the threat of identity theft - not that this is an issue with online gambling.

One of the main casinos accepting Prepaid cards is Bodog Casino. Bodog has been operating for fifteen years, providing players with one of the best gambling havens on the Internet. Bodog accepts normal prepaid cards, as well as VirtualPin, a proprietary prepaid card. These can be used to accumulate Bodog's amazing 10% unlimited match bonus, allowing players to gamble with an enormous amount of money, should they be able to keep up with the bonus. Bodog features not only a casino, but also a poker room and a sportsbook, though their RTG casino is one of the best ways to gamble on the Internet.
