How to deposit into sportsbook or online gambling account with a credit card

DEPOSIT CREDIT CARD ON LINE SPORTS BETTING

The Problem

Over the past few years it has become increasingly difficult to complete a credit card deposit through online sports betting, casino, or poker sites.  This is because the US federal government has attempted to transform the United States banking industry into a law enforcement entity.  Although the legality of online gaming is still in question, the banks have succumbed to the pressure of the DOJ and have cracked down on gaming transactions.  Even though it is a bit more difficult, there are still a couple of sites that you can use your USA credit card to deposit into your sportsbook account!  Beware of some BLACKLISTED sites that appear to be legit, such as betUS, Sportsbook.com, or Oddsmaker.com.  These sites appear popular and above board, but the sad fact is that there are several complaints received pertaining to all three of them.

So Where Do I Turn To?

There are still sportsbooks that have found a way to get business done despite the hardships faced by many other sites.  I am confident in recommending them for excellent sports betting, online casino, and poker action all from the same account!

Bovada /Bodog:  Bodog.eu has the secret sauce when it comes to getting credit card deposits approved.  You can fund your sports betting account in just a couple of clicks when you sign up with Bodog.  Bodog caters to all North American players, recently opening their services to Canadian bettors!  Canadians can now bet on NHL games from the comfort of their home instead of being forced to use provincial lottery systems such as ProLine, but that is a topic for another day

*Potsie’s Advice*
I recommend using Bovada’s MyPaylinQ deposit method.  If you want to use your credit card to deposit into your Bovada account, try this.  Bovada offers free deposits via MyPaylinQ, a method that is similar to PayPal in function.  Doing this will bypass all of the crazy credit card verification steps, such as scanning and emailing sensitive documents all over the world.  Just open your Bovada account, then select MyPaylinQ and open and account there, fund your MyPaylinQ account via Visa/Mastercard or your bank account, then transfer funds into your Bovada account via the cashier page.  Another benefit of this method is the ability to get fast withdrawals from Bovada.lv.  I do NOT recommend using the free check withdrawals from Bovada, as they take quite a long time to receive.  Using MyPaylinQ will eliminate this problem!
