ECOcard Payments

ECOcard is a network of European banks offering a credit card alternative primarily targeted at online gamers. They use an SSL banking interface server to make real time financial transactions. An ECO account comes to you with account history tracking and real-time balance information. As an alternative to credit cards, the ECO card does not take a credit card for deposits but uses Western Union Wire Transfer, MoneyGram Transfer, Private Money Transfers & Bank Account Wire Transfers that you can use to fund it.

Since many credit card companies are not letting you use your card for gambling online, this may be a superior alternative. The card is convenient for most international users, in that it allows multiple currencies, such as Pounds Sterling, Euros and Dollars.

The account also includes a currency conversion component that will let account holders make payments at merchants who deal in different currencies than the currency of their ECO account, which in tern offers flexibility for the player. A fee is not charged for depositing but there is a fee for withdrawing from your account once a casino puts your winnings back onto your ECOcard.

ECO caters to online gamblers and therefore allows withdrawals from online casino accounts into the ECO account. Only winnings are permitted to be transferred however, and come with a $10 fee for bank wire transfers or a $25 fee for checks, which are only available to U.K. and Italy residents. Make sure you read before signing up for this service and make sure that they cater to your country, otherwise you’ll be signing up for nothing.

Examples of casinos that take the ECO card are:
Jackpot City, Aztec Riches, River Belle (Microgaming) and several RTG and Playtech casinos. This method is widely accepted and used in many brands.
