Bank Transfer

The most traditional payment method that you can find on a casino website is the bank transfer. It involves nothing more than sending money from one bank account to another, or physically depositing it from a bank branch into an account. You can sometimes find it under other names such as electronic draft or teledraft.

Today it is a widely-used medium, since it is no longer necessary to physically go to the bank and complete it. Now you can do it directly over the internet, and even from some banking apps, in absolute comfort.

Before, you had to go to the bank with the details of the account you wanted to transfer to, and wait for an employee to complete the process for you.

Fortunately, today, we only need to be connected online through our smartphone or computer and have at hand the passwords that our bank provides us for this purpose.

In addition, it is a completely safe process, since you only have to deal with the bank itself.

General tips for using bank transfers

• Avoid using public devices or terminals to make transfers, since you will have to enter your data, which may be exposed
• In the event of any suspicious activity on the web ( in that you are asked for a an unusual number of passwords, for example), contact your bank to make sure that you are not a victim of phishing (identity theft).
• Try to store your account information away from your login details, so that you won’t have to regret it later should you lose this data
• Always make sure you are on the bank’s official website. If you are not making the transfer from a bank, always check the https security code in the URL – a sign of trust

  Fill in all the data when making the transfer (issuer, names, subjects etc.) so that, in the event of any problems, you have them as a reference
