You have numerous ways to fund your bingo account once you find a trusted online bingo site. We will look at what each one is and why you might want to use it below.

Credit Cards

We all know what credit cards are, but did you know a lot of the bingo sites allow you to use your credit cards to fund your bingo account? There are going to be some restrictions on using your credit card to fund your account. Credit cards can quickly get you into debt and there are regulations being proposed to make it harder for gambling sites to use them as a means to fund online bingo accounts and other gambling accounts. Your credit card company will charge you like it is a cash withdrawal rather than a purchase, which is more expensive. You must also use your own card, in other words it must have your name on it and the account must come up in your name to use the card.

Neteller

Neteller is another option to fund your bingo online account that is available in all currencies. It is an online money transfer service that you can use. It is one of the most popular methods as well. You have to have a Neteller account open for it to work.

Switch and Solo

This is a British pounds account. If you have a Switch and Solo debit card you can use it at most bingo websites safely and securely.

Debit Cards

You are also able to use debit cards to fund your bingo account. The debit card will work like a regular transfer from your bank, which means the account has to have the funds in it in order to transfer to your bingo account.

When you set up your bingo account you do have to offer the account number, security code, and the billing details. There are other options that online bingo sites accept such as money transfers from Western Union. Keep in mind that to open an account you must be at least 18 years of age.
