Best Online Casinos for US players

Research over the years has shown that the average amount of money a Las Vegas visitor plans to spend in the casino is roughly $500. This is a crucial statistic. The amount of the bankroll and the player’s preferred style of action define his relationship to luck and the house edge. But what happens when the online gambling takes pace from the player’s home computer? Every online gambler has his own casino strategies and when he logs into the online casinos he has every intention of using his casino strategies to play with. The amount of money he intends spending in the online casinos is a major item in his casino strategies. In order to start online gambling, he has to transfer a deposit into his account in the online casino.

This is where his casino strategies begin. How much shall I transfer? How much will I need when I am playing in the online casino? If at this point he thinks to himself, “it really doesn’t matter how much I deposit, if I lose it all I can always transfer more,” he is lost. Perhaps the most vital of all casino strategies is that of discipline. A player must start his gambling with a fixed amount of money to play with and when that is finished he must stop him gambling activities for that session. He may gamble in the online casino again the next day with a new bankroll, but the current day’s play is over. Be strong and stick to your casino strategies!

A new law came into effect in the United States on October 13, 2006. It is called the “Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006” which the gambling industry immediately shortened to UIGEA and it was tacked onto the end of a law that was being rapidly pushed through Congress relating to the defense of American ports. The new law does not make it illegal to fund an online gambling account or to visit an online casino and play online casinos games. The law prohibits US Credit Card issuing Banks and Credit Card Companies from processing payments for online gambling sites for residents of the United States. As a result, the online casinos are no longer able to process Credit Card transactions. This applies only to US Residents. The rest of the world can happily still visit the online casinos and continue playing online casino games to their heart’s content.

However, the online casinos are still accepting other methods of payment via many of the cash transfer systems that are to be found on the internet. So there is no reason to stay away from your online casino or to stop playing your favorite online casino games. Other effects of this ban will soon be felt when some of the badly affected online casinos go out of business and the competition among the survivors heats up. Watch the bonuses grow in size and keep an eye open for a whole slew of new online casino games.

FirePay is a deposit and withdrawal system that allows users to transfer money from their FirePay Personal account to their ECash Direct account and withdraw back to their FirePay Personal account. A FirePay Personal account is a Web-based account that works like a debit card - you deposit money into your FirePay Personal account, and then use the money to purchase goods and services online. FirePay is currently available only to users with US Dollar bank accounts in the United States. Firepay casinos are those casinos that support the Firepay transfer system and a quick search on the internet will reveal that there many online casinos are Firepay casinos. They are a favorite among the online gambling fraternity.

I tried out a couple of the Firepay casinos and found them great! I logged in to the online casino and discovered one of these ‘no download’ casinos, called Big Flash Casino. I chose to play in Java and in a matter of seconds I had checked in and was playing away with the online casino’s money. You thought I’d use my own money to play first time in a strange casino? I tried out the blackjack, the Caribbean poker, the roulette and the Battle Royale, which turned out to be a sort of sudden death gambling. I have to report that the Firepay casinos were smooth and easy and I enjoyed my time there. I am an avid player at online casinos and I have no hesitation recommending these casinos to those who enjoy online gambling.

Neteller set the standard for money transfer to and from online casinos and still remains at the forefront of the money transfer industry. When it comes to online casino payment mechanisms, Neteller is way out in front, making the process smooth and easy. The term ‘neteller casinos’ has become a bit of an anomaly, as most, if not all online casinos now support Neteller as a payment mechanism. Some online casinos however offer a special when you use Neteller as a funding option. Most of the online casinos that support Neteller advertise themselves as ‘neteller casinos’ on the internet.

For those who enjoy online gambling in neteller casinos, Neteller is simple and easy to use. You can fund your account easily from a credit card, and for holders of US bank accounts, even from your bank account. Withdrawing money is even easier. Let’s say you have won some money at a Neteller online casino, and you want to withdraw funds. You can simply instruct a wire transfer directly to any bank account anywhere in the world in your name, or you can get a Neteller Debit card which can be used at any ATM anywhere in the world. Neteller offers other cash transfer services as well and they are not limited to neteller casinos and gambling activities. Besides the millions of online gambling enthusiasts who use this service there are others. This writer has an arrangement where his writing fee is paid into his Neteller account by his client so that he can draw it from a convenient ATM in the town where he lives.

First Web Casino is accepting PaySpark deposits for US players

PaySpark is a new online wallet and doing your online gambling at PaySpark casinos is much the same as using the majority of other online wallets where you can finance your online account and make deposits at online casinos or purchase products from other online casinos that are part of the PaySpark Casinos group. There is one thing that is different at PaySpark Casinos though, and that is that they offer you 2% interest when your account balance exceeds $500. This is something that you will not find elsewhere - you can actually earn a bit of interest from the online casino.

When you register to play at PaySpark casinos, you basically open two accounts with them: the online account, which you use to purchase products or services on the internet, and the online account for your ATM card, which you use to withdraw your money from PaySpark. You can fund your online PaySpark Casinos account with your Credit Card at your online casino, or use a Western Union money order, a Wire transfer or fund your PaySpark Casinos account using your ATM Card.

Remember that when you are online gambling at a casino which is one of the PaySpark Casinos, is that everything is free, except for inactive accounts. Inactive accounts are those that have had no activity within 90 days and they are charged a $10 fee per month. So if you do play at PaySpark Casinos and your account has a zero balance after 90 days of no activity, it will be closed. However, you do not have to maintain a minimum balance, just be sure to play in the casino from time to time to keep it active.

English Harbour Casino is accepting Money Order deposits. Check its website for details.

Let’s say you want to use a money order to set up an online gambling account. Firstly you must choose to play in one of the Money Order casinos. A money order is roughly the same as a bearer’s bond. The owner of the money order may cash it for the face value at any bank and even some other third party places such as the US Postal Office. This is why it makes sense to do your online gambling at Money Order Casinos. In the US the most popular type of money order is that issued by Western Union. You can also use the US Postal money order when playing at Money Order Casinos.

Money orders can be acquired easily by going to your local post office, a bank, or even a nearby grocery store such as Cub Foods. Once you have the money order you are ready to gamble at Money Order Casinos or other online casinos. The cost of money orders is about $1 per $100 in value. This means that when you play at Money Order Casinos and you want $100 or less, you shouldn’t pay more than one dollar to get it. If you intend playing with $500, you can expect to pay about $5 to have it processed.

Money orders are a great alternative to using a credit card at online casinos. Money Order Casinos make it easy to set up an account to play online poker or online casino games. True, it may be a slower method of payment, but this is a great alternative to using a credit card or having to disclose your bank account information to the online casino.
