If you want to make real money in an online casino, the first thing you need to know is how to transfer money to your player's account. Back in the day, you could only accomplish this by electronic transfer from your bank debit card, and this option is still the most common one today.
These days, there are many more forms of online payment available, guaranteeing a fast, secure and convenient payment process. As a basic principle, keep in mind that that most of the time, you have to withdraw your money using the same method with which you made your deposit. The most common forms of online money transfers are Moneybookers, Neteller and PayPal.
The basic system behind all of these services is nearly identical: You deposit your money (via debit card or bank wire) to your virtual account at one of these brokers, and from there you transfer the funds to your casino account. The advantage lies in the speed and low fees for the transaction.
Another common form of payment is the so-called “Paysafe Card”. This is a prepaid card that works much in the same way as a phone card.
