Video Poker Payment Methods
Canada’s best online casinos and poker sites accept various safe and secure payment methods. Here’s just a handful of the options you’ll find listed on the cashier page.
Debit and Credit Cards
Visa and Mastercard make online deposits and payouts easy. They should also ensure your eligibility for pretty much all welcome bonuses at online casino sites.
There are a couple of potential drawbacks, though. Depositing with a credit or debit card requires you to feel comfortable sharing your card details online. Plus, you may need to wait for up to six days for payouts to land in your bank.
e-Wallets
Players hoping to use PayPal, Neteller, or Skrill won’t find these options at casinos for Canadian players. But, that’s not to say e-wallets are off the menu as a payment method. The likes of MuchBetter and ecoPayz are readily accepted at real money online gambling sites, and each provides a secure and confidential banking option with instant deposits and fast payouts.
While some casinos take a couple of days for internal processing, the quickest-paying casinos offer instant withdrawals to e-wallets.
Prepaid Cards
Prepaid cards offer an easy way for gamblers to keep casino funds separate from everyday spending, which can help with bankroll management. A popular prepaid system is Paysafecard, which comes in the form of vouchers you can buy from a broad range of brick-and-mortar stores.
It’s great for gamblers who like to use cash to fund their accounts, though high rollers may find it a cumbersome way to pay, and payouts are generally not possible unless a site allows payouts via a MyPaysafecard account.
ecoPayz
Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom, ecoPayz is a global online payment system that provides customers with a safe and convenient way to deposit at online casinos. Unlike most e-wallets, ecoPayz operates on a prepaid model, meaning you must top up your ecoPayz account from a bank account or credit card before using it to make purchases or transfer money. ecoPayz supports instant transactions, so you’ll be able to get your hands on your video poker winnings quickly if you choose a fast withdrawal casino.
MuchBetter
Accepted by a growing number of online casinos in Canada, MuchBetter is an online payment service that allows users to make secure transactions online. Launched in 2017, this mobile wallet app has quickly become popular due to its user-friendly interface and security features such as device pairing and dynamic security codes. As well as a mobile wallet app you download to your smartphone, MuchBetter also offers a prepaid Mastercard that works in conjunction with Google Pay. The service is regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.
Interac
A homegrown payment system, Interac will likely already be familiar to many Canadian players. The service makes for a popular and convenient deposit option at online casinos in Canada, allowing users to transfer funds to their online casino account directly from their bank. Deposits made via Interac land instantly, so there’ll be no waiting around before you can fire up your favourite games. Plus, you’ll qualify for most bonuses. Withdrawals requested via Interac will usually land back in your bank account within 1–3 days, depending on the casino.
