Online Payment Methods

It’s an interesting idea – the sort of idea you wonder why nobody thought of it before.

I’m referring to the Casino City directory that gives us all a pretty comprehensive rundown on most of the major online payment systems out there. Whether you’re an online bingo player or an operator of online bingo games, this is one directory it might pay to visit.

Why – because it may just help you understand what’s at stake in doing business with or as an online bingo hall in this post-UIGEA world.

For those of you not up to speed with what ‘UIGEA’ is, it stands for the US law called the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. It’s a piece of US legislation aimed at disrupting US players’ right to gamble with who they want – and has effectively shut the international online bingo industry out of the US market. UIGEA targets the payment methods used by players to play online bingo.

Getting around UIGEA, or simply just trying to understand how online payments operate in this environment is essential for all wanting to get involved in playing or operating bingo online. May I recommend you visit the directory by going here: http://online.casinocity.com/payment-methods/
