Gambling operators now understand importance of their Asian customer base.
Online gambling operators are beginning to understand the importance of catering to their Asian clientele, and the evidence is there in the form of an increasing number of payment methods for regional and local players.
Latest payment methods
Asiapay88 is an example of a simple and secure online casino payment method that is popular with players throughout eastern and south-east Asia. Available at a wide range of online casinos, poker rooms and sportsbooks, this option allows players to make deposits in Chinese Renminbi, Indonesia Ruppiah, Malaysian Ringgit, Vietnamese Dong and Thai Baht.
There is also a growing number of country-specific payment options, as seen by the recent introduction of two methods for Thai players: ECashAsia and PayBay are both secure, convenient deposit methods that allow customers to transfer funds from their bank account to their casino account.
Why go local?
The online casino industry has seen as surge in localized payment method, whether it be for the European audience, Latin American gamblers, or elsewhere. All these options have been designed to cater for players in their own currencies and languages, so why should Asian gambling be any different?
Major credit cards like Visa and MasterCard, plus leading online gambling e-wallet providers such as Skrill (Moneybookers) and Click2Pay are good options, but the fact is that they only conduct their transactions in US dollars, euros and other non-Asian currencies. By supporting the Asian payment methods, local gamblers are ultimately supporting themselves.
