I believe once you've found the right place(s) to play at and you are comfortable there then test and examine what options are available for you.

I think that Crypto Currency, such as Coinbase Wallets are a fantastic way to pay and get paid. It does take a little patience and learning your way around places like Coinbase, but there they offer things where you can actually Earn as you Learn. Its really simple. You watch small 2-3 minute videos then select from 4 various multiple choice questions for each video. If you get it wrong, don't worry they give multiple chances to get it right. For each video you watch, you earn between $2-$10 per correct answer. You also have the option to get your friends on board for $10 ( You get paid the $10) each time they Earn and Learn.

Belive me you Learn a lot about Crypto in a pretty short amount of time and it's very interesting stuff.

Ive only used skrill and paysafe. Both have pros and cons. I think ive stuck with skrill as alot of wallets dont do NZD and some verifications are ridiculous and put me off. Itd be nice if casinos didnt take bonuses away due to a cdrtain pay method ur  using. Twin does it with skrill and its annoying cause its my only deposit method lol. Merry xmas lcb'ers

Hi all. 

I live in Turkey. Betting is illegal here. There are a few companies that are legal, but both on sports only and rates are 80 percent lower. 

Naturally, the majority play on sites that are considered illegal. 

   There's trouble with deposits here. Because the ways of depositing the captured betting sites are being deciphered. So those who invest in those accounts can be fined up to $1,500. 

  There are many methods in my country. Both national and international. But the easiest and most cost-free papara e bank system for us. Of course, that's the most ." 

  Bitcoin cannot be tracked. It's the safest way for him. The casinos in Turkey, of course, have very solid ones. But not the majority. So it can be hard to get your money when you earn. In addition, there are casinos that pay up to 1 million liras per day (up to $130,000). 

 In terms of security, I now prefer foreign sites. That's why I opened a bitcoin account. It's played in dollars, so the amount's a little heavy for our money, but so be it. I can play less, but it's reliable. What I really trust is the LCB forum. 

   That's why Bitcoin is so good at sending and receiving money. Because it takes days with the bank, and high commissions make it impossible. I think it's the safest costless and fastest. It's just a difference. Betting sites in my country pay in a few hours at most. However, there are casinos in other countries that pay once a week or wait up to a week. For example, I rarely win, but one of the leading casinos, which I don't want to name right now, wait 4 days for document approval. 

He did, but he made me wait three weeks. He finally let the money go, but seven days later, he said. I've been waiting a month to withdraw the $500. 

Make sure there is no maximum shooting limit when receiving a recommendation bonus. It's the first time in my life I've been so lucky. I'm up to $1,150. But since I couldn't shoot more than 500, I played a little and fell for $800.  

  If anyone's been patient and read this far, thank you, and I wish you a lot of glory. 

For me the easiest is to get that money smack dab on my debit card. Inte rtops has a debit card you can use to withdraw, Then I transfer to my bank or pay a bill whatever I need. I have tried cripto with coin base/. They claimed I gave the wrong address  for the transaction. but I checked it three times. Then they gave me a link to the blockchain they sent it to and it had the wrong address!!  When I asked them they said everying is a different address on the blockchain. Of course I ended up losing all that money so I decided never would use  cripto again. It felt like the coiunbase people  laughed in my face while they got away  with stealing this old womans money and were able to get away with it. So I stick with who I trust, and my old school ways. Thart is what is best for me!

Happy Holidays!!

Big Wishes f or a better 2021!

Stay safe and Be Well!

I hope that doesn't happen ." But it costs a lot of time to send or receive money from here to America any other way. I think I'm going to have to take that risk.

I understand bit coin is quick and easiest for most players. Being a Senior it is very hard not only to trust, but get the whole bit coin process. I would like to see a trusted business start up that could actually walk  us through all the bit coin process correctly and double check we have done this all right so we don't lose our money. Ideally I think this would be an awesome venture for a upcoming entrepreneur  who could get a small fee for every customer. Any young person put there could really take off with this idea. Doing it all would take a bit of getting through hoops to become totally legal and some sort of bond and or insurance, and assurance they won't take off with your cash or lose it somehow. 

LCB this would work for you guys, you are largely trusted in the community, as well very caring for your clients. Let alone the patience your wonderful workers have with us and all our whining, mistakes and so many other issues. 

Thanks for it all!!!

From begin I used Skrill for years,also sometime and Neteller because is same company.It was better when i can use Skrill MasterCard and cash out on Atm with small charge and when I wish.Before couple years they cancel MasterCard for this region and in that moment I got new MasterCard and couldn't use.After that is more difficult to transfer money, waiting couple days to my local bank, bigger fee plus Skrill 5.5€ charge transfer which is different and depend of intermediate bank from 2 euro to 30.But I m used on that ,maybe in future I'll use more crypto currency.So far I don't have much experience with crypto,so I would like to see more videos about that.

For me the worst is paypal because we here can only send money but can't receive,if I have money there I must to buy something online , can't withdrawal yet.

The best casino payment for me is credit card payment because the money is deposited instantly into my account which means i can start slotting away straight after i deposit

in my country if u have a mastercard credit card u can deposit using it but u cant withdraw to it. However, if u have a visa card, which i do, u can use it to deposit and withdraw to, so for me the credit card option would be the best option for me to withdraw to.

the worst withdraw option for me would be to withdraw to neosurf account because neosurf allows withdraws to be made to my neosurf account but they dont allow be to cash out the withdraw to my bank account. I learnt this the hard way when i withdrew $1000 that i had won from luckystar casino and was told that neosurf does not currently allow players from my country to withdraw funds from there site. It turned out good in the end because i went back to luckystar and played with my winnings and ended up winning $8000 which i withdrew to my bitcoin account.

neosurf is my second option to deposit to only if i buy it from the shops because they dont charge a fee on top of the voucher so if i buy a $20 voucher i only pay $20, but if i were to buy it online it would cost me $24 for a $20 voucher because they charge a fee.

with bitcoin payment method it can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 2hrs for me to receive it into my account and they also charge me a fee of approximately $5 to send money to casino using bitcoin

PayPal is the best, but many casinos don't support it. In my experience, the worst method is Bitcoin because of fees. I'd like to see cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin next on LCB YouTube channel because I don't know much about them.

I love the idea of having my money sent back to me via pay pal or venmo. t makes it easier for me to cash out my winnings. All in all I think until the USA where i live comes up with some kind of gambling regalations it is not going to be easy. Bitcoin is ok but i do not like to use it.

The easiest, smoothest transaction would definitely be my debit mastercard. Straight up, simple and painless! 

Moneygram would have to be just the opposite....a royal pain in the ass!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

good luck LCB'ers

For the comment above...you honor us oh wise moderator Zuga!

Where to start with the best and worst payment methods for casinos. I've used plenty throughout the years so i'll summarize.

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin etc. are really fast!! It gets my praise the most! I use Coinbase to proceed with my deposits so I can play on Mbit casino which I also claim the 5 mbtc bonus that LCB gives out in their shop (don't tell them, they'll know they're on to us lol).

I can proceed to withdraw my crypto after verification and documents then when I proceed to make the request to an address it takes minutes to an hour for the withdrawal (due to the confirmations) to hit my Coinbase thereby I either send it to other casinos to make other deposits or send it to Paypal to convert it to $.

The best about this is that in Coinbase for your cryptos you can convert any crypto into another like for example Bitcoin to Ethereum so it's versatile! It's such a sexy shapeshifter like Mystique from the Xmen.

The problem to this is that there are fees involved. It's necessary and I trust Coinbase much more than the other sites that I delved into like Blockchain or Gemini. So fees for buying and selling crypto are $1.49 from $20 worth of BTC deposit and going up, that also applies to Paypal for withdrawing the balance back to my bank for a small % fee.

----------

For Canadians like myself Interac E-transfers have been a blessing especially if you hold a bank that does unlimited transactions. For the people who don't, it holds a $1 per transaction give or take depending on your bank. A pretty simple process of making a deposit with this method, copying the message code on the page, going onto your bank online/app, E-transfer tab then sending this amount to Gigadat with the message code. I'd admit it gets tedious to do it the 1st time but it gets really simple after! Within 3 minutes the deposit is in my casino account. 

For withdrawals once processed you know you'll get money when Gigadat sends you a reference email along with a text message containing the password and another email saying Gigadat sent you $3200 for example. You need the text message and the email containing the amount in order to accept the $$$. The process takes 1 - 3 days. On average just a business day for me, even 2 at the most. Don't you hate it when you win big on Friday and end up waiting for the 2 pieces to come by on Monday/Tuesday?

----------

Next on my list is Paysafecard! A simple process of going to their website to purchase a voucher for $10, $30, $50 etc. with an added fee of course and logging into my email to find that long voucher code so I can go back to Paysafecard to input it into my account!

Deposits in casinos are instant however with the withdrawal process of it I had other options so I don't have an opinion about it. Paysafecard used to have this store regarding points until they shut it down, sometimes they have contests for PINS too.

Paying the fees and the amount you want is what make's this method fast. This same method is what got me going when Skrill stopped their business with us Canadian's around 2015 which later was reinstated however not to it's fullest.

With this method it's not only the fees but the fact that Paysafecard doesn't have $20 as a voucher choice.

----------

Skrill, as it's former name Moneybookers, before 2015 in my opinion is one of the best when it comes to depositing money. It just requires your email login provided your bank or cards are linked. Before 2015 it made depositing less of a hassle because I was using Visa as a method of payment when the aforementioned methods weren't aware to me yet. Back then using my card was a mistake, it made me somewhat insecure about security and protection! I miss those days but now Skrill wants me to move on. If I remember correctly Skrill/Moneybookers and Neteller go hand in hand!

Ever since 2015 with them giving me another chance I never came back because I made a deposit into my Skrill only to find out that I can't use the balance to gamble so I withdrew the amount back into my bank with less than what I put in.

----------

Visa/Mastercard gets recognition as this was one of the ways I had fun! This takes me back to Party Casino hitting that Cash Flash jackpot on Golden Oasis and the many download platforms were such a blast. 32red, Vegas Palms, All Slots, Canbet, there were so many! Playtech casinos too were really good to me with my Visa! It's a straight forward process of entering your card details into your casino account with the 3 digit code. Verification for me took a while long but sometimes the only way to withdraw my cash was through another method like a bank or wire transfer like in Betvictor for a minimum $200 but don't get me wrong, Visa there is only $10 minimum.

----------

Paypal isn't really a method I can use since this deposit only applies to players in the UK and possibly others. I've always seen it but never had access to it as a gambling purpose. I use this only as a foundation to the other methods mentioned to receive cashouts and for unrelated purposes like shopping online. 

----------

Muchbetter has to be the last on my list so I'll go ahead with the best first. Muchbetter is pretty simple, it's login contains a 4 digit password. Once in, I enter an amount to deposit then I choose the method of payment so in this case, Interac E-transfer. It's the same process as an Interac E-Transfer with the code and the "less than 3 minutes" wait. Once it's inside my Muchbetter account I send it off to the casino by accepting the request. I do like that this method has a cash contest for collecting points from deposits!

Your wondering why I still use Muchbetter instead of just going through an Interac E-Transfer straight away is simple. There are casinos out there that don't even offer Interac E-Transfer so I use Muchbetter to successfully bounce my deposits to the relevant casino(s).

The reason Muchbetter gets the worst payment method is because of that annoying verification process! This is 1 of 2 of my problems! Getting my passport to be verified was awful! There was this frame on my phone that takes the document "automatically" so I had trouble fitting everything in. I could only take the picture if it's up close and it required me to get all 4 corners which it doesn't take the picture in that moment!

The app doesn't allow me to take the pictures manually and on top of this I needed to take a selfie using this oval indentation that has to be clear! Again everything has to meet "their" requirements! Should it not then I'd have to repeat the process over again. Lol better lighting, angles, clarity.

To make matters worse their excuses of having "high volumes" were repeated like the year before but in Summer. I lost my Bitstarz withdrawal waiting for a Muchbetter bank statement from them. By the time I received it 2 weeks later everything was over, it was too late! Goodbye $520.40!

My 2nd reason for Muchbetter for being the worst is I would need a phone and my computer to make the transaction work so if I deposit in a casino with Muchbetter for $50 I'd load Muchbetter using Interac, log into my bank to complete the transaction with the message code, come back to wait for the amount to enter my Muchbetter account, go back to the casino to make the $50 request then log into my Muchbetter account via my phone to accept and send the $50 request just to complete it!

I'd like to see more fresher payment methods that we don't commonly use that we as players can use! Dai, Celo, Augur cryptocurrency, Neosurf, anything uncommon to us or brand new!

That's my summary! Crypto gets it all and Muchbetter to me is Muchworse!

@Quickwitted 

You've outdone yourself this time. 

So far forme my Cashapp crypto wallet has worked the fastest seems to have been the safest.  I did however have one issue. It was my coinbase account.  It was an issue with my bank I went over my daily purchasing limit my bank aspprove it only to issue a charge back later.  I've spent months trying to fix the issue.  I mainly use cashapp's crypto wallet I have had zero issues with it.  I can send and receive with no issue.  I don't like using cards because of the fees you end up paying.  I have had major issues with casinos that clam you will pay x amount but then you are charged between 7-22% on there end.  If I am going to deposit $25 I best only be charged $25 other wise I view it as being lied to and ripped off.  With crypto I have not run into this issue..  I have written before about my views on crypto. In most cases I haven't had a issues however early on I had an issue with the value changing and I've ended up sending less the what was suppose to be sent.  That has not been an issue as of late.  Now one of the draw backs I have encountered is withdrawal.  Large crypto transfers can go through many block chains to verify and that can get costly.  On average I've been paying 13-17% on crypto withdrawals over $250. I much rather have my winnings ACH dire4ct deposited.    Best of luck to everyone have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 

What do YOU think are the best and worst casino payment methods?

Well I would like to share with you, my experiences in all these years playing and being from a country with little demand in terms of online games, well I think that all casinos should maintain many payment methods within their payment system of casino since lately I have seen that some new casinos only accept cryptocurrencies which is a mistake for me the best payment method is the ewallets because you have your money quickly and also all your confidential data is very safe another detail It is because many banks do not accept to make transfers to casinos or receive them because in their policies it is forbidden to receive money from abroad and more so being from casinos where money laundering is very frequent and used by criminal groups, that is why ewallets in my opinion They are the safest today since there are limits on deposits and withdrawals and there are many ways to get your earnings quickly and safely, the worst for me it would be cryptocurrencies since its purchase method is very tedious and you have to make conversions no honestly I do not like this system.

What banking option would you like to see next on LCB YouTube channel?

Well personally I would like you to have an instant payment in addition to the amounts being less than those that are already established in addition to credits in casinos for example $ 5 $ 10 in a participating casino etc and more methods such as ewallets to withdraw if you could Instantly that would make them the best online gaming forum in the world and unique!

I would say the best method for me would be Skrill because I am so used to it by now and have become accustomed to it's policies and different features and because of the option for cryptocurrencies also. The transfers are instant, which is a huge plus compared to different bank account based methods. Skrill is fast, easy to use and widely accepted at casinos. The only minus is how many casinos don't offer bonuses for Skrill deposits, but that is not a problem for me because I like to play mostly without deposit bonuses.

The worst method definitely is cash-outs via cheque. They would send a paper cheque to your postal address via snail mail and you would have to cash it at your local bank. Internationally speaking this is a terrible method because first it takes weeks for the cheque to arrive and then you are going to have trouble to find a bank that will accept it and cash it for you. At least in Finland this would be very difficult.

Worst methods for deposit, I would say, are any methods that you cannot cash out your winnings to, so maybe you might have trouble later. Also, methods like Zimpler etc that allow you to deposit for credit, i. e. they send you a bill later or the amount is added to your phone bill. These kinds of methods would be troublesome for people with gambling control issues I would presume, at least they sound fishy. I would not recommend those to anyone. 

I would like to see more introduction and feature videos about all of the different voucher methods available across the world, methods similar to paysafe and neosurf. I have noticed there are dozens of ways to deposit via voucher that are not in use in my country but they might be available later so it would be interesting on a "good to know" basis.

That's my thoughts on the subject, thanks LCB for another great contest and happy Christmas and New Year to everyone! 

While I think that every banking option has its pros and cons, i tend to use any crypto method due to the anonymity and quickness of the transactions. I do not much like to put my banking info out there in the world of the internet, so I do not like to use my bank cards for transactions with casinos. This entails you having to send more of your data through the internet and is just not very safe. This is definitely the worst option for me. I have dabbled in other payment methods, but for me crypto is the way to go, the only downside is occasionally there are higher fees than anticipated, and it may take a bit longer due to traffic. However, due to the ever-growing technology field, this is sure to be addressed in the future of crypto, making the process as smooth and problem-free as possible. As new banking methods are introduced, it should be interesting to see what comes in the future!

I think that the best payment method is ecoPayz. I have been using ecoPayz for some years. I find it very reliable, all the fees are cheaper than others. And ecoPayz includes BTC as a deposit method. 

And moreover, I can have up to 10 currencies, unbelieavably convenient. I have Euro, USD, GBP, Yen, CAD, HKD, SGD, MOP, ZAR 

Here is the screenshot of my muti-currency ecoPayz account 

Account number and balances are top secret 

For the worst method, I would choose Neteller and Skrill. They are actually reliable, but the fees are too high as utterly a Rip-Off.

I attach a screenshot of the notification that I received a week ago. All the percentages went up. They are increasing all the fees one by one over some months, I guess 

And, they recently removed BTC from deposit method, huh 

Lastly, I want to see ecoPayz as a recommendable banking option in the LCB youtube channel 

Without question Bitcoin is the best payment option. I use coinbase as my provider very easy to use and fast on processing. The only problem with bitcoin is the fees to purchase and send funds. It seems the higher price of a bitcoin the higher fees. Example 2 months ago to send $30 it cost .25-.40 cents. Today the same transaction now cost $1.00-$1.20. Selling bitcoins is just as easy. 

The worst without any question is bank wire transfers or money transfer such as Moneygram or Western Union. One last thing I would tell every gambler that plays online never use your debt card EVER! I have been gambling online for 20+ years started with Intertops. 

One of the main things I need to check out before deciding whether to play on a platform or not is casino payment methods. for me, the casino I choose should be able to process my financial transactions securely and also have the ability to deposit money easily and withdraw my winnings quickly.
Payment options are very important, and they can become a key factor in choosing which casino to play at.
Since my debits at online casinos, I have used only three payment methods to make my deposits and withdrawals: Neteller, Skrill and Bitcoin. for me Skrill is the best, I can send and receive money on the sites just like with a bank, and this, in a secure way. I think most of the online casinos accept Skrill. This payment option is well known for securing the identity of the customer and allowing deposits and withdrawals to be made instantly.

I would like to see cryptocurrency banking option next on lcb youtube channel

Being in the United States its hard to deal with it all. Credit and Debit banks try to stop International purchases. They also stick you with the extra fees. I think it would be great to not have to pay fees or deal with not being able to use your card. Its really frustrating to get paid and try to deposit only to be told NO from your bank. I really wish were Universal cards that could be given out to use from the different Casino Groups. d 

Everyones got good points here, we all have our issues to. 

Good Luck everyone and Happy New Year!!

A GREAT BIG THANKS TO LCB FOR ALL YOU DO!!!

Считаю способ оплаты криптовалютой наиболее универсальным, но для неопытных в этом вопросе иногда бывает сложно разобраться. Предлагаю поговорить об использовании криптовалюты.

This is the English speaking forum. Please submit your post in English, entries in any other language won't be accepted. 

   I believe the best depositing method is obviously crypto currency due to its quickness and lack of need of any personal information of mine. But that is just one of the perks. The other huge perk is the minimum deposit amount for crypto currency!  Most casinos you will be able to deposit anywhere from $1 and up. This seems to be one of the largest differences between depositing methods as of recently deposit minimum for debit card at some casinos have gone up to $45 from $25. Yet Bitcoin remains dollar MINIMUM. Now that being said I've never had a problem with card deposits. They've always gone through quickly. I just don't like giving out my personal information like that. As far as withdrawals go, almost no matter where you're playing or how long they're Cashout process takes Bitcoin or crypto currency of some kind will always be your safest least intrusive option. I have received checks and I have had money put back on my card both are excruciatingly long of a wait period. 

       Waiting time is something I definitely take into account because any casino that takes more than a day to pay you out in Bitcoin, which is pushing it still. To me is a little bit ridiculous. I won't play somewhere that takes that long to pay me out. I like winaday, slotland, cryptoslots Casino extreme, Bitcoincasino.us.

    I've never encountered a single withdrawal or deposit issue at any one of the previously listed casinos. And don't see myself changing deposit method or withdrawal anytime soon.

As far as the future deposit methods I'd like to see implemented. I don't see any advantage in changing something that already works. And implementing more stuff is just going to make things more complicated. I find Bitcoin to be the easiest route to go. It's a copy and paste and send.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my opinion while simultaneously giving me the chance to win a prize. I hope you had happy holidays everybody and are looking forward to a great New Year!

The contest is finished!

Thank you for participating 

The results will be announced shortly. 

For those who live in the States some have stricter rules. Between the banks saying where I can or can't spend money, and  there is always Big Brother with a say in it also, they sure can't say I am free!

I just got what is called a Paypal key. It just like a credit card number for your account. It is much easier depositing with it than my bank cards. I am so glad I checked it out. Paypal is also doing Crypto so I may be brave and try it. The future is looking up!!!

When is shortly...?
