Best Gambling Payment Methods of 2010

There is a plethora of casino deposit methods to facilitate making a deposit to, and receiving winnings from, your online casino of choice. However, in this growing business, there are a number that excelled in their level of service and convenience this year including Ukash, Moneybookers and NETeller.

Pre-Paid Card

Ukash is a pre-paid card and became particularly popular in 2010 in the UK and across parts of Europe. It allows players to pre-purchase funds and then simply provide their account details to the online casino to deposit funds. Thousands of new players this year discovered the speed and convenience of Ukash.

Electronic Wallets

Additionally, e-Wallets such as NETeller and Moneybookers continued their steady growth in popularity over 2010. They are comparable to an online bank account into which you deposit money and then use it to pay for various items and services. Creating an e-wallet account with either Moneybookers or NETeller is fast, safe and cost-free.

Whilst these payment methods operate on a slight different basis (one is a payment voucher system while the other two are e-wallets), they all share in common their high level of security to keep you safe from fraud and allow you to avoid revealing your personal bank account details.

In the USA

It is interesting to note that despite the extensive range of safe and secure ways to manage deposit and withdrawal transactions with online casinos, credit cards held their ground in popularity in 2010 as they too are a quick and easy alternative. In fact, following this year's legal reform in the US this is typically the payment method of choice for American players at online casino which accept them, such as Rome Casino.
