While all online bingo sites accept major credit cards for making a deposit, many players, especially those new to online bingo, are understandably nervous about sharing their credit card details with an unfamiliar site. The online bingo site owners know this so almost all provide for alternative payment methods. One such method that is very popular with online bingo and casino sites is Click2Pay.
Click2Pay is known as a third-party processor. What that means is that they act as a middleman between your credit card company or bank account and the merchants that utilize their services. Because the only company that you need to share credit card or bank account details with is Click2Pay, this adds a layer of security to your online transactions.
To use Click2Pay to deposit funds at an online bingo site is quite simple. You will need to log-in to the bingo site and choose to fund your account via the Click2Pay option. The only information that you will need to give to the online bingo site is your account ID and your personal account number given to you when you set up your Click2Pay account. As soon as you have done this, you’ll be all set to go play in the bingo room of your choice or any other games that the online bingo site may offer.
What is unique to Click2Pay is that they provide instant funding while other third-party payment processors require a few days. Basically, the company advances you the cash right then and there instead of making you wait for the deposit to actually clear. The only drawback to using the instant funding service is that the fee is quite a bit higher than other funding methods. Click2Pay will charge you 8.9% for the convenience while traditional credit card funding will only cost you 3% of the deposit amount. Transfers from your bank account are free in most cases, unless your bank charges a fee for this service.
Click2Pay is available in many countries but they are not allowing new registrations from the US. If you are an existing US customer, you are able to continue to use your Click2Pay account but you won’t be able to open an account at this time.
