How to Make Online Casino Deposits from the USA

Online Gambling for Americans

It is no secret that most of the largest online casinos do not accept payments from users residing in the United States. In particular, this rule applies to all casinos working on the platforms of Microgaming, Playtech, and some other famous manufacturers of software for gambling.

For this reason, many customers who professionally play in online casinos even moved to European countries or Canada. It was easier to make deposits and withdraw money there. They do not change citizenship and open bank accounts in other states, proving their residence outside the United States. It is usually enough for a casino not to deny them service.

On the other hand, even people who are not U.S. citizens, but physically live on the territory of the country, usually can not play, because they are blocked by the IP address, so they should take some action to change it.

Some Americans are just playing in casinos that accept U.S. customers (e.g., quite a lot). They may have problems with payments by credit card, so often, they have to find alternative methods of making deposits.

Moreover, even if you can replenish your account with a credit card issued by a U.S. bank, receiving a payment will be challenging. Still, it is possible to resort to a check, bill, or any electronic payment system. Many online casinos offer excellent choices for users of Neteller or Ecocard.

Do not forget that you will have to provide copies of the documents proving your identity once you win a more or less significant amount to get it out of the casino. For these purposes, you can often use scans of your passport or driving license.

Now let's take a closer look at the major payment systems and their potential for players from the USA.

Credit Cards

You do not always have to give up cards, even if you are in the United States or any other country where the law, to some extent, prevents Internet gambling. Let's consider some of the options.

You can use gift cards if you need to deposit a credit card issued by a bank from another country. Just be sure that they can replenish an account at an online casino.

You can also open an account offshore. It would help to choose a bank that offers credit cards that match your needs. Nevertheless, you might need to take care of the address in this country and ensure that you have chosen an honest casino with a good reputation.

Owners of MasterCard and Visa may face temporary difficulties when depositing in the casinos. Sometimes a player has the expense dozens of times in a row, and then it turns out this method is unavailable. It takes time, but you can use it for this purpose. We will not go into the details of why this happens. Just note that it happens.

Paysafe

An excellent alternative to Visa and MasterCard is Paysafe, which can be purchased in many countries, including the United States. Of course, they are not as versatile as before mentioned brand products, but they are more stable when used in the casino.

If the casino does not accept payments from U.S. players, Paysafe will not solve the problem. You will also need to think of an I.P. address and residence.

Never discard cards, even if they run out of funds or have an expired date. Often, the casinos' administration requires sending copies of them to make payments.

UseMyFunds

Register an account in Canadian dollars and try to use the system UseMyFunds, which cooperates with many online casinos. You will need an account with a Canadian bank.

UseMyFunds allows you to make deposits and withdraw money quickly. It is easy to use, requires no additional costs, and is in great demand.

Western Union

Using the prevalent system of Western Union transfers is not always beneficial and convenient.

1. Firstly, it takes a hefty commission (unless the casino covers these costs).
2. Secondly, it is suitable only for recharging, and you should find another method for withdrawal.

Moreover, transferring money via Western Union requires checking all data and contacting the support team to let them know the transaction details.

Again, do not forget about any discomfort in the form of numerous strange rules of the system. Once you violate at least one of them, you will be denied service.

Conclusion

Residing in the U.S., playing in an online casino is very inconvenient. Yet, negotiations between online gambling operators and the authorities continue. Hopefully, soon, Americans will be able to enjoy all benefits of online gambling without the numerous challenges they currently face.
