At times, making a deposit into an online gaming site is difficult. It is not illegal in any way to play games for money online but the banks have made it difficult to make deposits. Below are the most popular and successful methods of depositing money into online gaming sites. Each gaming site has their own deposit methods so please check and see which methods the site(s) you want to deposit with accept.

If you have any trouble making a deposit, even with the proven methods I describe below, please email me at support@bingo-express.com and I will work with you to get your bankroll to the gaming site of your choice.

EwalletXpress: Works just like Paypal. You open an account and link your bank account to your account. Then you go thru a simple and fast verification process. EwalletXpress gives you an immediate way to deposit up to $500 to your favorite gaming sites. Then, any money you put into your account is transferred from your bank account. It's the easiest and most successful way for US residents to deposit. Safe and secure, it's our recommended way to deposit.

Credit Cards: Most online gaming sites accept credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and Maestro but it's hit or miss whether the transaction will go thru. Some gaming sites have better success rates than others. We recommend finding an alternative online ewallet such as EwalletXpress or ones below that will allow you to fund your virtual account with your credit card, then transer these funds to a gambling site. There are also several prepaid credit and debit cards that are working to fund various ewallet accounts.

Money Transfer: Use to transfer money to a poker online site. Get the payment details from the gaming site and go to your local money transfer office to send funds. Very easy and safe.

Instant Checks, E-Checks or ACH: Some gaming sites still offer this option for US residents. It works by linking your bank account to the gaming site and making an electronic transfer.

Wire Transfer: Get the wire transfer details from the gaming site and instruct your bank over the phone or in person to send your deposit to them. May take 2-3 business days but very safe, secure and successful.

UseMyWallet: You need an invite from the gaming site Microgaming casinos to join so check that this option is available at the gaming site you wish to deposit with. It's the sister site to Ecocard (very successful but not available for US residents) and is available to US residents. It's like a pre-paid debit card or electronic wallet that you fund using your credit card or bank account. Great reputation in online gaming.

Diners Club International and JCB: Some gaming sites accept these while others do not. Please check with your gaming site to see if they are available.

Prepaid Debit Cards: An option available at a lot of gaming sites. Please check the available deposit methods at the gaming site you want to deposit with.
