South African Online Casinos Accepting Debit Cards

Debit cards are an excellent banking method when using South African Online casinos. There are various debit cards, with the most popular being Visa Electron and Mastercard Maestro. Debit cards are similar to credit cards and are generally attached to these.

The major difference is where the money comes from. While a credit card gives a line of credit that is paid off at a particular time, a debit card is connected to your cheque or savings account and there must be sufficient money in that account to fund the debit card.

As the name says, Visa Electron is managed by Visa and is available to South African players. It was introduced by Visa in 1985. The important part of the Electron card is that there must be funds available on the card in order to use it. This means that there is no overdrawing allowed on the card.

MasterCard introduced their Maestro card in 1992. The card requires a 4-6 digit PIN in order to be used. This makes it a much safer option if you are watching your cash, as you will only be able to spend what is in your account.

Opening a debit card account is extremely easy, and you may even have one already. Once you have a bank account, specifically a cheque or savings account, you can attach a debit card to that account.

To use your debit card, you need to have a Personal Identification Number or PIN. The PIN makes transactions with a debit card an even more secure way to fund your online casino account.

Most South African casinos accept major debit cards such as Maestro and Electron. It is very easy to both deposit funds and withdraw from your South African online casino account using a debit card. On occasion, there may be a minimum amount required to deposit in order to use your debit card. Just fill in the card information on the banking page of the online casino.

To withdraw money is as easy as filling in the details of your card and how much you would like to withdraw. Debit cards are an excellent option for funding your online casino account.
