Why use Visa Electron
Visa Electron offers all the benefits of using a debit card - but it also comes with some unique bonuses:
- You only need card details to make a deposit - no need for 3rd party providers
- Use your online account to track spending and budget
- Use your card to deposit and withdraw winnings
- No need to worry about exceeding your gaming budget
What's the difference between Visa Electron and Visa? With a Visa Electron card, all funds need to be available at the time of a transaction, which means you can't go over your balance - or go into an overdraft. On the other hand, Visa offers more flexibility in this regard.
Card payments using the Visa payment system are certainly convenient, but there are some potential pitfalls:
- You are sharing your card details directly with the casino
- High chance a transaction will be declined if not enough funds present
- Card withdrawals tend to take longer than other methods
- It's easy to misplace your card
