Aug 23, 2010
Players are told on a daily basis that online deposit methods are vital and plays a pivotal role when it comes to choosing online casinos and online poker rooms. Players are also told that by selecting reputable online payment processors their money is safe and will be transacted over a secure encrypted line, to ensure safe and fair gambling. It has come to our attention that a certain payment processor which deals with PokerStars, the world’s largest poker site has to forfeit a staggering $13 million in fees.
The owner of Allied Wallet has to surrender $13 million to authorities to get their name clear from a potential money laundering charge. It’s not clear how the authorities came across the money laundering case, but Allied Wallet is no cleared of all charges and is still accepting online deposits, whether it is for online gambling deposits , it’s still unclear. Their partnership with PokerStars is still solid and they are also involved with numerous other online casinos in the industry.
Getting back to our first point of the article, online players need to use sold and secure online deposit methods, which can be market and language specific. Neteller which offers services to local and international markets is a great example of an online deposit method. PayPal which is a preferred payment option is very popular amongst online bingo and online sportsbook players. For a more market specific payment method, PostePay can be found in Italy and has a great reputation.
When choosing to use an online payment processor, the chances are unlikely for players to read the fine print, and their main focus is to get an account and to deposit as fast and quick as possible. We do advice players to make double sure when using payment processors which is not been tried and tested. As this is purely for their own good and safety of their money. Online players are also advised to play at online providers which are accredited and which are given seals of approval by fellow online gamblers and online players.
