Deposit Choices for Canadians

While it’s generally advised that new players start playing for free before they start using their own money, everybody’s goal is ultimately to play for big bucks. But to do so, you have to be able to make actual deposits first. Here are some of the deposit options offered by most online casinos to Canadians. Major sites like Zodiac Casino, Luxury Casino and Captain Cooks all offer these payment options.

VISA Electron, VISA, VISA Debit

Most casinos will accept VISA debit and credit cards for deposits. This option allows players to play immediately as any approved transaction will automatically be credited to their account.

For added convenience, you have the option of registering up to five cards to some casinos. Captain Cooks, Zodiac Casino and Luxury Casino all accept this payment option.

Mastercard Debit, Mastercard

Mastercard is also accepted by most casinos. Approved payments are also automatically credited to your account. And like Visa, you can register up to 5 cards on your account.

eCheck

eCheck is one of the simplest ways to make deposits at online casinos. It allows you to make payments straight from your bank account without having to go through a third party or give out your financial information. All you’ll need to register will be your bank account and check book. Payments will be automatically debited to your account, but just like any other check, it will take from two to five days to be cleared. To get started, you will need:

  • Bank’s Name
  • Account no.
  • Type of Account (savings, checking)
  • Branch no.
  • Bank institution no.
  • Social Security Number

If you fail to provide the correct information, this could qualify as fraud, so be careful.

How to make an eCheck deposit

Go to the ‘bank’ menu of your desired casino and choose ‘eCheck’. Enter your info. This will only need to be done once. For future payments, your registered account’s last 4 digits is all you’ll need. This form of payment is accepted at Captain Cooks, Zodiac and Luxury Casino.

Things you should know before making a deposit

eChecks are just like regular checks and if your payment bounces, you’ll be subjected to fees. You will get a CA$30.00 charge for every bounced eCheck and you will have to pay the amount owed to the casino before you can make any other payments. New players have a CA$750.00 cap for 7 days on deposits.


Instadebit

Instadebit works just like eChecks and allows you to make deposits with your bank account. Payments also take from two to five days to be cleared. This form of payment is accepted at Captain Cooks, Zodiac and Luxury Casino.
