DEBIT CARDS VS CREDIT CARDS

While debit cards may look just like credit cards, they do not operate in the same way. Both are linked to a player's bank account, however, a credit card allows users to spend money on credit. Players can make a deposit with funds they do not yet have, and will then pay it off to the credit card company on a monthly basis.

Debit cards are directly linked to a player's current account or savings account. Payments can only be made when there are already enough funds in the account to cover the payment amount.

ADVANTAGES OF USING DEBIT CARDS FOR ONLINE CASINO DEPOSITS

Since players cannot get into debt when using a debit card, this is often a far better choice for some players. Unlike a credit card that will allow players to make online casino deposits and other expenditures when they do not yet have the funds to cover the payments, debit cards will only allow players to use what they already have.

An important point to remember concerning debit cards is that players may need to use a PIN (Personal Identification Number) when performing a transaction. This is yet another level of security that will keep player's bank accounts and online casino funds safe and secure.

HOW TO GET A DEBIT CARD

Debit cards are issued via the bank. Players who already have debit cards do not need to request a new debit card in order to make online casino deposits. Players simply need to have a cheque or savings account in order to request a debit card. While credit cards are not issued to everyone who requests them, debit cards, since they do not allow users to spend more than they have, are usually issued to all who request them.

MAKING DEBIT CARD DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS

Since most South African online casinos will accept deposits via debit cards such as Visa Electron and Maestro, players can use these debit cards to fund their online casino accounts. Players simply need to check that their chosen online casino accepts debit card transactions, and should then select which debit card they wish to use. After this, players simply need to fill in the requested information that is found on the debit card, and fill in the amount they wish to deposit, and the PIN code if necessary.

Players should remember that they are likely to need a different withdrawal method, and should be sure that they are able to use one of the other methods offered at the online casino. Debit cards are a quick and easy way to fund an online casino account.
