Bank Card Betting Sites in India

What is a Bank Card?

Bank cards are cards issued by your banking institution to carry out deposits and withdrawals. You can use VISA or Mastercard for most Indian online sports betting sites.

Credit cards are accepted by all online casino operators. Just check with your local banking authority beforehand about whether its debit card can be used to carry out online transactions or not.

An online casino or betting app may require your bank card during the transaction process due to a number of security reasons, sometimes as a part of ensuring your proof of identity as well.

Pros of Using a Bank Card

• Both debit and credit cards are portable and can be carried in your wallet without taking up too much space.
• The cards are more convenient than writing a check and then submitting it to the bank. You can just process your payment through the online banking system of the casino.
• Any annual fee associated with keeping a bank card is minimal, even if you don’t use your card at all!
• Although we can’t say the same for credit cards, debit cards help you keep track of your deposits on online sports betting sites by sending a notification on your mobile phone or email.
• Even if your card gets stolen, the offender can’t withdraw any money without your PIN.
• Credit cards aid with short-term financing by providing the fund required for a large deposit on wagers.
• If you want to build on your credit history by enhancing your credit score, a credit card is a way to go!
• Your credit card can even offer cashback and rewards for gas, airfare, or entertainment.

Cons of Using a Bank Card

• Because the cards are small, you can easily lose them out of a moment of recklessness.
• Even though there is a small annual fee charged for having a bank card, your savings or current account may incur monthly charges.
• The credit limit set by credit cards is sometimes more than what you can afford. Therefore, there is a danger of you not being able to pay for your incessant deposits.
• You are entitled to pay interest on your unpaid purchase balance if you somehow fail to clear the due monthly payment on your credit card.
• If you can’t make payments with your credit card on time, and it keeps going on for a while, this will add to a bad credit score. This is bad news for Indian players and bettors with gambling addiction!

Bank Card Fees

Commonly, there are 3 types of fees that are incurred by debit cardholders. They are assessment fees, interchange fees, and markup fees. However, the fees may vary depending on the bank that you operate with.

On the other hand, credit card fees are more differentiated and the list is long as well! As a credit cardholder, you may be subject to returned payment fees, over-the-limit fees, balance transfer fees, late payment fees, annual fees, interest charges, and foreign transaction fees. In this case, the charges may vary depending on the regulations of your bank.
