As of November 25, 2002, PayPal will no longer fund online gambling transactions. For those of you that used PayPal exclusively (like Tommy), this represents a major inconvenience when you go to play!
There are numerous alternatives to PayPal, a few of which we have shown below. It is s good idea to set up one (or more) now, before PayPal pulls the plug. Must funding facilities need a couple of days advance time to set up and verify your account so if you set up now, you will be able to make a smooth transition! Most Casinos are offering incentive bonuses if you use their preferred method of payment, so check them out!

FIREPAY

The online gambling industry is always looking for new ways to attract people to their internet casinos or sportsbooks. Those not in possession of a Visa or Mastercard especially had a hard time to play online. Besides PayPal, which offers a workaround by funding your gambling account from your checking account (electronic checks), Firepay also offers a solution.
Just like Paypal, a Firepay account is an online bank account, which can be used to purchase chips at numerous casinos. It pretty much works like an online debit card. The customer is able to fund his/her account by using a U.S. based checking account, a Visa, or a Mastercard. Casino winnings can be easily transfered back to Firepay and can be spent online or withdrawn from there.

PREPAID ATM

"Two Cards...One Account...Does It All! ATM, Debit, Bank, Virtual & Money Transfer Card". That's how the card is advertised on their website.

In order to use their system you will have to open an account and transfer money to it. The transferred funds will then be available for online purchases of all kinds. Also transfers between Prepaid ATM account holders are easily processed and your Prepaid ATM card will work just like a debit card, so it also can be used offline in any store for any kind of purchase. It's the first debit card not tied to an individual bank.
Would this card be a new way to fund your online gambling accounts?
The casinos are looking into it and some are already starting to implement the required systems, so Prepaid ATM will be an option at least at some casinos in the near future. Comparing Prepaid ATM to established payment methods in the gambling industry such as Paypal or Firepay, we can find one major advantage: Next to online checks, western union and some other options, the use of Visa or MasterCard to transfer funds to your Prepaid ATM is available. So it should be possible to fill your Prepaid ATM card with funds from your Visa/MC and later use them for gambling, even if your Credit Card Issuing bank does not (directly) accept gambling related transactions. Some of you may know that this was the major advantage of Paypal in the beginning, until Paypal started not allowing some bank's credit cards for gambling. So the question remains how long this option will stay available. After questioning we were told that most banks will treat payments to Prepaid ATM as purchases, but some banks may still post them as cash advances, so it is always recommended to ask your bank. As of right now Prepaid ATM is only available to U.S. citizens. There are some small fees incurring when you fund your account. Most costs however are covered from the merchant. The card itself is free.

Please also note that the minimum amount you can transfer to a casino is $50.

NETELLER

Gambling with Neteller is convenient, because you do not have to give your credit card information to each and every online casino where you would like to make a bet. Just sign up for a Neteller account and handle all your online gambling transactions from this single account. Casino chips can easily be bought by Neteller and winning are fast transfered back to your Neteller account. Just make sure the casino of your choice offers NeTeller.

SECURITY

We suggest that you follow some security measures to ensure your protection anand m minimize exposure to fraud.

Passwords: Never, ever share any of your PASSWORDS with anyone. If you bbelieve someone else has gotten access to your password, please change it ii mimmediately.Select a password that is easy to remember, but hard to figure out. One g good way to create a secure password is to choose a phrase of two or three words and a add a 2 or 3 digit number to the end of the phrase. Avoid choosing obvious words or d d dates such as a nickname or birthdate. It is always a good idea to mix numbers with l e letters when choosing your password. Don't use the same password you use for AOL, e e-Bay, MSN, Yahoo, or other online services. Using the same password for multiple w e websites makes it easy for thieves to access your personal information.
S Secure Websites: Whenever entering sensitive personal information (such as c c c h e checking account or credit card numbers) onto any website, make sure that the w e b si website encrypts the information you send to, and receive from, the site. Check the U R URL - some will begin with "https" instead of just "http". The "s" means encrypted s e security. Look for a lock icon on the bottom left or bottom right of your browser.
