VISA Debit and Credit Cards for Online Gambling

VISA is available both as a credit card and a debit card. There are pros and cons to using both of these options, as discuss below:

Pros of Using a VISA Credit Card

• It is highly accessible, available in many online casinos, albeit not as many as the debit card option.
• You can gamble with credit and if you win you can return the money you borrowed with a little bit of profit on top of this.
• It is very safe, much more so than a debit card.
• There are fraud protection services available on all VISA credit cards and these will ensure you get your money back if you are scammed or wronged in anyway.

Pros of Using a VISA Debit Card

• There are no fees associated with debit card use on reputable online casinos.
• It is accessible, available in more online casinos than any other payment method.
• It is safe.
• It is quick, with payments processed at a similar rate to services like Skrill.
• You can keep a close eye on your finances by combining debit card use with online banking services.
• Every penny you withdraw will be available as ready-cash, and not as credit.

Cons of Using a VISA Credit Card

• There may be fees applied to both deposits and withdrawals.
• Withdrawals can take longer than they do with debit cards.
• Not all casinos allow you to deposit with credit cards and half of the ones that do will not let you withdraw back to it.
• It may lead to problem gambling in those who are already susceptible, due to the fact that they have a lot of money at their disposal that is not theirs.

Cons of Using a VISA Debit Card

• The fraud protection is not as strong as it is on the VISA credit card.
• Your card is connected to your bank account, which in turn could be connected to every penny you own. This can add an extra element of risk that makes debit card use very uncomfortable for online gamblers.

How to Deposit Using VISA

• Sign-up: Choose the online casino that is right for you and sign-up, making sure that you select a promotion so that you do no miss out.
• Deposit: Select the “VISA Credit” or “VISA Debit” option and confirm.
• Secure: You may be asked to go through an additional verification step known as Verified by VISA. This is explained in more detail below.
• Play: Once you confirm the amount and the payment then you will be good to go.

How to Withdraw Using VISA

• Choose: The withdrawal process is just as easy as the deposit process. Simply select “withdrawal” and you will be taken to the option that you deposited with. You may need to select it to confirm, you may not, it will depend on the site.
• Amount: Choose the amount that you wish to withdraw from your gambling account to your VISA card.
• Confirm: Click on “confirm” and wait. You should be given a timeframe of “5 working days”, as well as a contact number should anything go wrong. From here you just need to wait. If your money still doesn’t arrive, then check the section below.

What to do if an VISA Withdrawal Didn’t Process?

If your VISA withdrawal has not arrived within the timeframe specified, then it could be because of several reasons:

• There may be a holiday in your country, thus delaying your bank, or in the casino’s country, thus delaying their payments. This is why they specify that you should wait 5 “working days” and not just “5 days”. A working day excludes weekends and it excludes public holidays, including bank holidays.
• Not Available: Some casinos do not allow you to make withdrawals using VISA credit cards but will not make this clear to you until you process the withdrawal. In most cases, they will leave the withdrawal processing and will either email you to inform you (in which case it might have landed in your spam folder) or will simply wait for you to contact them.
• Statements: It may be that they have paid but that it’s just not showing up on your statement for whatever reason. To make sure this is not what is happening, simply give your bank a ring and ask them if you have received any credits/payments recently. They might not be able to tell you the name of the company if those credits are still pending, but they can usually tell you the amount or the day they were initiated, as well as the day they will clear.
