Since the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) passed in October of 2006, funding your betting accounts has become a little bit harder if you’re a U.S. citizen. Contrary to what some media sources are reporting, the UIGEA does not make online betting illegal. The only thing this bill does is reduce the amount of ways Americans can make deposits to online betting sites. With that out of the way, here are the easiest ways to fund your sportsbook account.

  Credit card (Mastercard, Visa, Prepaid Visa)

• Credit cards are the main deposit option for most bettors. If you have a debit card, that will also work as well. Credit cards and debit cards are also the quickest deposit method available.

Direct bank wire / Money transfer/ Echeck

• Bank wires and money transfers are a very easy deposit method to use. For these options, your money will just come straight out of your bank account and go directly into your sportsbook account. If you need help with this, call the sportsbook and they will set it up for you right away.

Check by mail

• This is usually a last resort if you can not get any of the other deposit options to work. Checks by mail take a little bit longer to deposit (7-10 days), but if it’s the only thing that will work for you, then go ahead and do it. Checks by mail are allowed at almost every sportsbook.
