Credit Cards in South Africa

Credit cards are a popular deposit method available to South African online casino players. When you use your credit card to make a deposit you may also be able to use one of the credit cards casino bonuses offered at the casino of your choice, if the casino offers this bonus option. Not all online casinos have this bonus for your choice of payment method.

Credit card casino bonuses are provided based on the deposit method you choose. There are other bonuses for eWallets, bank transfers, and other South African casino payment methods. You may receive 10% in a bonus for making a deposit.

The key to earning your bonus is to find a casino offering this payment bonus option, using the deposit method required, and fulfilling the terms and conditions. Not all online casinos offer bonuses for payment methods. Most of these bonuses are no more than 10% to 15% of your deposit amount.

How does it Work?

An alternative payment bonus, such as credit cards casino bonuses require you to make a deposit. First you need to make a deposit by entering the online casino. Visit the cashier or payment page, based on your casino's heading for banking methods, and select the deposit option.

Under deposit you will see the options available at this South African casino including credit cards. Select credit cards, enter in your account number, expiration date, security code, and the amount you want to deposit. Review the form and click submit to send the deposit to your account. There are prompts offered by the casino to help you through the step by step process of making a deposit.

As soon as the deposit reflects in the account you can claim any payment method bonus offered. This is not automatic bonus you claim. You have to send an email or contact support to tell the casino you qualify for the bonus. You have to name the bonus you qualify for and your username.

Once customer service receives your email and checks the deposit made into your account you are awarded the bonus. Other terms and conditions can apply such as if you have pending withdrawals, which could affect your qualification.

Terms and Conditions of the Bonus

If the casino offers this bonus it will be a percentage of the deposit you make. You will need to make a deposit as stated in the terms and conditions of the casino. For example VegasRed.com allows a deposit of R150 to earn 10% to 15% depending on the payment method you choose. While they do not list Visa or MasterCard they do offer this option for prepaid cards. If you deposit R150 you get an extra R15 deposited.

You can only receive a certain total per month, per account such as Rand 250 as the total sum of bonus funds. You also have to wager the bonus a certain amount of times such as 25 times before you can cashout any winnings that exceed your original deposit.

Can South Africans Use this Method?

Yes, you can use credit cards to make a deposit at an online casino for South African players. You can also claim a credit card bonus if the casino provides this alternative bonus option.

Can You Withdraw Using this Option?

MasterCard does not allow you to withdraw money from an online casino and put it on your MasterCard account. You can only make a deposit with this method, which means you can claim any credit cards online bonuses offered. Visa will allow you to make deposits and withdrawals with your online casino account. It makes it possible to keep your bank details separate from the online casino, since you have an intermediary between your bank account and your casino account.
