Why Fund Your Account
If you do not fund your account then you are not able to play any bingo, it’s that simple. To fund your account just means to put money into your online bingo account so you can purchase bingo tickets. The term “deposit” may also be used instead of fund.
Although setting up a new payment method can be a pain, once you have done it once then it is just a matter of a click or two every other time to top-up your account.
Different Funding Options
Before you learn how to fund your online bingo account you need to know that there are several ways to do so. Below are the most common options available to you:
Debit/Credit Card – You can link your credit card or debit card and deposit money into your online bingo account straight from your bank account. This is the most popular way to fund your account and it is similar to what you would do when you shop online.
PayPal – If you have a PayPal account then you can simply link your PayPal account to your bingo account and fund your online bingo account with the money in your PayPal account.
Neteller – Just like with PayPal, you are able to link your Neteller account with your online bingo account and fund your account with your money in your Neteller account.
Ukash – Just like what you used to do when you wanted to top-up your mobile phone. You had to go to your shop and buy a top-up voucher. Now you can do this with online bingo sites, simply purchase a Ukash prepaid voucher at selected stores and enter your code online.
Paysafecard – These are just like Ukash prepaid voucher where you buy a card and then redeem the code on the card for credit, however, you can purchase Paysafecard online which is a plus.
