Most online
casinos still accept Visa, but certain financial institutions
have already decided to deny their card-holders the
freedom to make online gaming purchases. Online casinos
have however made provision for this by allowing you
several options of purchasing casino credits.
Below there is
a list of some of the most popular alternative online
banking methods. Choose the one you like or most comfortable
with, set up an account and you are ready to roll.

Cheque
Not the most easy
to use if you want to play quickly, you have to wait
until your cheque clears at the Casino before you
can start playing.
Wire Transfer
Like an ACH this
is also a transfer from your bank account to the casino's
account. But with Wire Transfer, you usually need
to FAX or e-mail the casino a form that will allow
them to request a wire transfer on your behalf. They
make the request of your bank and you must then give
your bank authorization to wire the money. This typically
takes quite a bit longer because of the extra processing
times required.
ECP
Electronic Check
Processing (ECP) allows U.S. bank account holders
who use the ECash Direct system to electronically
deposit and withdraw between their TheSands of the
Caribbean online4 casino gaming account and their

same type of services including ACH ( Automated Clearing
House ), Virtual Debit Card, Virtual ATM, or preauthorized
account payment among others.

Conducting your
banking transactions via credit card (Visa and MasterCard
only) is both quick and efficient, as all approved

from the bank account holder’s account to a nominated
beneficiary account. This option is only available
