In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about the deposit of money at an online casino. This is general information and that is why it is of course still important to check at the casino where you want to play how the deposit and withdrawal is organized.
Before you can withdraw money from your account, you must of course make a deposit. The English term that online casinos use for this is the deposit. How the deposit of money exactly works, just like the withdrawal, depends on the online casino where you want to play. We’ll cover some generalities below to give you an idea of what to look out for.
Depositing money into your account can be done in various ways. It just depends on which method you prefer and which specific ways the online casino of your choice have available. Often it is one or more of the following options:
Most of these methods are self-explanatory or have already been discussed above. It is important to take a good look at how long it takes for each method before the money is actually in your account. Again, the ‘old-fashioned’ methods take more time than, for example, using an eWallet or iDeal. In addition, choose a website that also uses the method you prefer to use. This prevents you from having to create an extra account with an eWallet service or deposit money in a way that takes a very long time.
There are far fewer rules for the deposit than for the withdrawal. The only thing you really have to pay attention to is that you fill in everything correctly and that the account with which you deposit is also in your name. It is not possible to let others put money into your account. This is because, among other things, it encourages money laundering when it could. In addition, it is easier for minors to play with someone else’s account.
In order to play as safely as possible, your account must be verified and you must be able to prove that both the account and the account are yours. In exceptional cases, an online casino may charge a deposit fee. If this is the case, you should check whether it is worth playing at that online casino. You may get other benefits in return that outweigh this drawback. If that is not the case, there are plenty of online casinos that do not charge a deposit fee.
It is smart to look at the situation with, for example, the welcome bonus. The amount of the bonus is linked to your first deposit amount at many online casinos. This can be, for example, a doubling of your first deposit or a certain percentage of this first amount. It is also possible that you will receive a bonus with your first five or even ten deposits.
Depending on the online casino, you can take full advantage of the welcome bonus by researching this carefully. Be sure to check which deposit methods you receive the welcome bonus. This is often not the same for all methods.
Many online casinos have a minimum deposit of ten euros. This amount is 15 or 20 euros with some providers, but rarely much higher. It is also possible that the minimum deposit amount differs per method of deposit.
The maximum amount that you can deposit into your account also differs per provider and per method on which you make the deposit. It is often a maximum of 1000 euros per day, but it can also be a maximum of 10,000 euros or more at a time. In general, online casinos don’t bother about depositing a lot of money into your account, but when it gets to huge proportions you can expect an extra verification or check. Of course, online casinos also do this to prevent money laundering and addiction problems.
If we look at the homepage of U…, and of course we follow the Dutch version, we see some logos at the bottom. That doesn’t look very enlightening, because the iDeal logo, for example, is barely recognizable and you probably won’t be able to get along with Przelewy24. We’re going to take a look in the info center and there we learn that you have to be logged in to really continue. That means you must have a username and password.
Please note, this does not mean that you have to deposit money. I have a username and password on many sites, because of my information urge and because then I am kept well informed about all kinds of things, and I log in. If you are logged in, you will see a section ‘My Account’ at the top right and if you click on it, the clouds will disappear, the sky will clear up and a lot will become clear.
You… have put the deposit options in a few different boxes. The first is a block with Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard and Maestro. A minimum of €10 and a maximum of €1000 applies for use of these four cards, while the costs are 2.5% of the deposited amount. Clearly, on to iDeal, which is free, is almost always processed immediately and has a maximum of €10,000 with you… . Neteller is an electronic wallet, which is free for making deposits. A minimum deposit amount of €15 applies here, while the maximum deposit for Neteller is set at €15,000.
Paysafecard is a kind of voucher system. You buy one or more credit cards at a point of sale and with them you can pay on the internet, with you… up to a maximum of €1000 and a minimum of €10. Deposits with these systems are free of charge with you… . Then there is also the option to work with a regular bank transfer via the Bank heading. The advantage is that there is no minimum or maximum, it is also free of charge, but the processing time is a few days. You… already have the necessary information on the site, including your personal reference number.
