Credit and debit card casinos: deposits, withdrawals and fees
The most widely accepted deposit method and one of the least useful for getting money back out.
How Credit and debit cards works
Visa and Mastercard are accepted at effectively every operator in this register, and deposits authorise instantly. The complication is on the way out. Many operators cannot return funds to a credit card at all, and those that can are limited to the amount originally deposited.
That asymmetry is the single most important thing to understand about paying by card. A player who deposits by card frequently has to nominate a different method for withdrawal. Verification on that second method has to be complete before any payout is processed.

What to watch for
Canadian card issuers sometimes decline gambling transactions outright, because they are coded differently from ordinary retail purchases. Where a deposit is accepted, some issuers treat it as a cash advance rather than a purchase. Interest then starts accruing immediately, with no grace period. That is a cost that has nothing to do with the casino and does not appear anywhere in its terms.
Which casinos in the register accept it
Payment support changes more often than any other detail an operator publishes. That is why this register records it per operator, and re-reads it monthly rather than listing it once. The casino register shows the methods held against each entry. The cashier itself is always the final authority, so if a method matters to you, confirm it there before depositing.
Common questions
Can I withdraw to Credit and debit cards?
No. Credit and debit cards is a deposit-only method, so you will need to nominate a second method for withdrawals. Identity verification has to be complete on that method before a payout is released.
How long does a Credit and debit cards deposit take?
Instant. A deposit that does not appear in that time is usually held by verification rather than lost. Contacting support with the transaction reference is faster than repeating the payment.
Are there fees?
Card issuers may treat a gambling deposit as a cash advance, which carries interest immediately.
Does using Credit and debit cards affect bonus eligibility?
Usually not, but exclusions are set per offer rather than per method. Check the bonus terms before depositing — our bonuses guide explains what those terms cost in practice.
Is Credit and debit cards available to Canadian players?
Generally yes, at operators in this register that list it. Availability is still set per operator, so the cashier is the authority.

A note on payment methods and control
Whichever method you use, set a deposit limit in the cashier first. A prepaid voucher caps a session by design; a card does not. Choosing a payment method can be part of how you manage how much you spend. Our limits and support page covers the tools that do that job properly.
