Electonic Checks Still Missing From Major Online Casinos

Casino News - October 20th, 2009 - Written by Glen

Three of the largest and most reputable online casinos once offered electronic checks as a deposit method, but one day players woke up and noticed that electronic funds transfers had vanished entirely. Why these casinos have ceased accepting e-checks as a deposit method is to be debated, but many players suspect that the UIGEA or increasing costs have made e-checks vanish.

Electronic checks were one of the most successful and rapid deposit methods available prior to their disappearance. Cherry Red Casino, Rushmore Casino, and Slots Oasis casino all accepted e-checks until one day over the summer where the option disappeared, leaving players who had used this method of deposit completely in the dark. These are three of the biggest RTG online casinos, and the lack of e-checks as a deposit method has made many wonder.

Despite the lack of e-check transfers, other deposit methods are still available. While these casinos are still amongst the best, this is due in part to their diverse list of available deposit methods. E-wallets allow players to link checking accounts to their casino account, thus facilitating a similar transfer when compared to e-checks. Credit cards are, as usual, also still available, but do not always work for all deposits.

Regardless to as of why, these casinos definitely took a hit when they decided against the continuation of electronic check deposits. Though they remain the best online casinos in their respective field, players have been seeking answers for the disappearance of one of the most popular deposit methods.

As legislation moves forward to repeal the UIGEA, depositing restrictions begin to ease off gently. One day soon we may see the regulation of online gambling, and when this day comes, we may once again see E-checks Casinos.
