Visa

Most New Jersey casinos accept Visa payments, which makes gambling online a lot easier than it was just a few years ago.

What is Visa?

Visa Inc. is an American-based payments technology company that facilitates global electronic money transfers. The company is known globally for its Visa-branded debit cards, credit cards, and pre-paid cards.

Company

In 1958, Bank of America launched the first-ever consumer credit card program known as BankAmericard. Despite a rocky start, the credit card became popular among small and medium-sized businesses as well as middle-class consumers. BankAmericard changed its name to Visa in 1976 and had a global presence by this time.

Visa Inc. came to be in 2007 as a merger of regional businesses around the world. Visa Inc. announced the acquisition of Visa Europe in 2016 which until this time had been member-owned. Visa now has a presence in over 200 countries.

How it Works

Visa cards are branded by Visa Inc. and transfer funds through the Visa network. Financial institutions including banks partner with Visa Inc., which is a transaction processing network, to issue their clients payment cards. The financial institution offers its customers Visa cards and sets its terms and conditions.

Visa cardholders can then make payments to merchants who support the Visa network. These transactions can be for in-store purchases or online payments. Visa cards include credit cards, debit cards, prepaid cards, and gift cards.

Tips on using Visa cards

Visa cards are widely accepted globally but a few handy tips will ensure that you make the most out of this payment option.

1. Authentication data

   Look for the Visa Secure badge when making online payments using your Visa card. When making online payments on websites that support Visa Secure, you will be required to enter a password before you can complete the transaction. This extra authentication may be a code sent to your phone by your issuing bank or a password that you choose and must enter for every transaction.

2. Spending

   It is easy to fall into credit card debt, so it is always a good idea to set a budget for your online casino spending. Make sure that you pay your credit card bill in full every month to avoid falling behind and accumulating interest on top of the late payments. Better yet, consider using a Visa debit card or prepaid card for online casino games since you can only use the money you preload on your card.

3. Shopping online

   Confirm that you are on a secure page before entering your credit card details when making online payments. You can tell by checking that the lock icon beside the URL address bar is enabled or that the website URL starts with “https”. You may also want to shop at online merchants who have a refund and return policy.

Why use Visa to play online?

Besides Visa being arguably the most widely accepted credit card in the casino business, there are plenty more reasons to use Visa for online casino payments.

Safety and trust

Visa employs stringent security policies and cutting-edge technology to protect cardholders during online and in-store transactions. Visa also has a zero-liability policy that protects cardholders from fraudulent charges (subject to Visa’s policy and terms and conditions).

Ease of use

Credit cards are an easy way to make online casino payments, and Visa is no different. You only need to enter your card information and your transaction will be processed within minutes. People who are familiar with making credit card purchases online will find this payment option especially easy to use.

Speed

Visa transactions are near-instant, and the money will appear in your account almost immediately after you have confirmed your deposit. You can also fund your online casino account using your Visa card 24/7, which gives you the freedom to play whenever you like.

Privacy

Your casino payments will appear on your card statements, but other than that, Visa does not share your gaming habits with third parties. Online casinos that accept Visa cards also have to agree to the company’s privacy policy to ensure that your financial data and other sensitive information does not find its way into the wrong hands.

Visa Electron

Visa Electron is a debit card by Visa Inc. that works much like its other debit card, Visa Debit. The only difference is that you cannot overdraw from Visa Electron card accounts, so you will need to have all the money you need for the transaction at the time of the transfer.

How to Use Visa Cards to Play at the Casino

There are a couple more things that you might need to know about using Visa cards to play at the casino. For one, you will not be able to set recurring card payments to your casino. While some might find this inconvenient, loading money in your casino account only when you want to play is a better financial strategy.

Note that although your casino might not charge you any fees for depositing money into your gaming account, you might incur charges from your card issuer. Familiarize yourself with these charges to avoid any nasty surprises in your card statements. The good news is that these charges are typically low.

Lastly, only play at licensed and regulated online casinos in New Jersey. There are many phishing scams on the internet intent on stealing your credit card information.
