As a South African you will be delighted to know that most South African online casinos offer multiple deposit options, but absolutely all Rand casinos offer an option to make deposits and Withdrawals with your Visa or MasterCard. As arguably the world’s most widely accepted payment methods, Visa and MasterCard’s serve as a primary payment option for online gamblers globally. Fortunately, online Rand casinos are no different, allowing you the comfort of familiarity and relevantly low transaction and service fees. Here is a list of the Top Visa Casinos in South Africa.

Here is another e-wallet option which most online Rand casinos offer as a deposit method. Being an e-wallet, Neteller functions fairly similarly to Skrill. A fantastic advantage of using Neteller is that ZAR is listed among their accepted currencies. This obviously makes your online gambling preparation experience a whole lot easier and relatively cheaper than it would be had you opted for any other e-wallet lacking a Rand option.

Neteller is a well trusted and respected option supported and offered by numerous online casinos, so much so that preferred payment method bonuses are often offered to players who opt to make deposits via Neteller. Like Skrill, Neteller offers a fast and user friendly banking system to its users. We’re particularly impressed by the fact that they are registered with the British Financial Services Authority which forces them to comply with some seriously stringent legislation.

Long story short, Neteller is required to place user funds into trust accounts in order to always be able to settle users’ balances on demand. If this doesn’t give you as a user a strong feeling of security, we’re pretty sure nothing else will. All humour aside, lets briefly run you through setting up an account with Neteller.

You’ll start by entering the Neteller website neteller.com and sign up for an online account. You will be prompted to fill out a short digital form before being prompted to create a 12-digit password, followed by another 6-digit password (because they’re that pedantic about your security).  After that, it’s pretty much the same as using Skrill when the time comes to fund your online casino account and make your deposit.

Here is a fairly new, affordable, safe, and tailor made payment method for South African online gamblers. While other countries such as the US have a host of digital money transfer options available to them, South Africa lacked such a service for e-commerce and online gambling. EasyEFT was developed to fill this gap so that South Africans now have another local option separate from the two major credit card providers, i.e.: Visa and MasterCard.

Here’s what you should know about EasyEFT. They have partnered with the following South African Banks: FNB; Capitec Bank; Nedbank; ABSA Bank; Investec, and; Standard Bank. This allows them to facilitate transactions on your behalf without needing to pass on your private credit card or banking details. They do this by linking to your bank account and withdrawing your requested amount safely and securely before forwarding it on to your online casino.

What’s impressive about EasyEFT is that they create a new temporary database in order to obtain your banking details for every transaction. The moment the transaction has been processed with the online casino, your details are immediately scrubbed from the temporary database. This ensures that EasyEFT users’ banking details are always kept safe and secure and not exposed to the wide world, or even to the online casino itself.

Obviously we’ve included this option here because EasyEFT uses Rand (ZAR). A significant advantage they’ve gained in your favour by partnering with the major South African banks and South African Online Casinos. This means you will not risk sustaining a loss in your real money bank roll resulting from unfavourable conversion exchange rates and conversion fees. Clearly this is highly beneficial to South African online casino players, especially in the long-run!

Added to the variety of deposit options you’ll be offered by our Top 10 Online Rand Casinos is the ever faithful EFT / Bank Transfer. The only real requirement here is a bank account with sufficient funds to carry out the transaction. You should, however, know that the money usually becomes available in your chosen online Rand casino a few days after making the transaction. So you would need to do some forward planning when making your deposits.

One way around this is using the ‘instant transfer’ option offered by most major South African banks. This option processes the transaction immediately, allowing you to get your money in the game ASAP. The only drawback with the instant transfer option is an increased transfer fee which varies from Bank to Bank.

Why would this option still be widely popular among South African Online Gamblers, despite often being a pricier option than e-wallets? The simple answer is… security. Your EFT is a transaction which takes place between your bank, who sends the money in your name, and your trusted online casino directly. Your personal financial data is never exposed to a third party, and only the necessary data is shared with the casino to receive the funds

For many Online South African Gamblers, this level of security (and familiarity) is worth the expense as there is virtually no risk of data or identity theft.
