For the first decade that online casinos existed, the casinos and credit cards went hand in hand. When the first online casinos opened in the 1990s, there simply wasn’t any other depositing option. And since U.S. players were some of the most eager patrons of these casinos, it goes without saying that credit cards were their go-to depositing option, too.

Fast forward to 2006 and the passage of the UIGEA, and a lot of American players are now confused about their online gaming options. The good news is that you can still play at any online casino that will accept you, and there are hundreds of them. And while a handful of online casinos no longer accept credit cards from U.S. players, the majority of them still do.

How can you make a credit card deposit to an online casino? It’s almost as easy as using your credit card at any brick and mortar retailer, though obviously the distance makes verifying your status as the cardholder just a little bit more complicated. To make any sort of a deposit to an online casino, you’ll have to start by creating a player account. This requires only your most basic personal information. Completing the form takes only a couple minutes.

After you’ve created your account (or even while you’re waiting), you’ll want to download the casino’s software. If you’re using a flash version of the casino, then you can simply load it up. From the lobby of the online casino you’ll proceed to the cashier. Here, you will select “credit card” as your depositing option and provide the necessary information.

It’s common for American players to be asked to make their first credit card deposit by phone. You may also be asked to fax or email a copy of your driver’s license to confirm your identity. Just be sure you use the correct contacts. Once you’ve completed these precautionary steps, future credit card deposits can be completed through the casino cashier. Some online casinos even offer a special bonus for completing credit card authorization forms.

Some good online casinos that accept credit card deposits from USA players include Players Only and Bodog. As a returning casino member, you’ll no doubt be pleased to know that credit cards are one of the only depositing options that instantly transfer funds to your player account, so you’ll never miss out on a slot tournament or a special promotion.
