Making deposits to online casinos and withdrawing your winnings is an extremely important thing to consider when you join a new casino. Most casino bonuses are based on your first deposit and then some have offers when you make  further deposits. So to get the bonus you need to be able to deposit some money to into the casino. Casinos want you to be able to play as quickly as possible and to cater for this a number of web wallets  have sprung up to ease the process.

Most casinos accept Credit cards like Visa and Mastercard to make deposits and in some countires Debit cards can also be used. These are probably the most popular methods for making a deposit to a casino as they are instant. However withdrawals are not always possible to credit/debit cards so you may have to wait longer for a payout if you withdraw your winnings.

Web wallets such as Neteller allow you to deposit an amount to an online account and then you can choose how much you want to deposit at each casino. They are a good way of separating your gambling funds from your normal bank account. Often withdrawals to web wallets are much faster than other methods so you can get your winning quickly and some sites even have instant withdrawals. There are also special bonuses at some casinos for making a deposit using a particular web wallet so you can get an extra bonus above their normal sign up bonus.
