With two of the online casino industry's leading player eWallets dropping out of the U.S. sector, questions are arising once again as to who else will follow suit. Yet, in the face of a potential snowball chain effect, the gaming industry is fighting back.

Already, a number of third party payment processors have manifested in an attempt to fill the shoes and displaced business of Neteller, which was arguably the largest third party eWallet offered by online casinos across the board. Just as gaming and law analysts predicted, a U.S. prohibition would only serve to breed an underground industry tinged with lawlessness and corruption. And while this is not the case just yet, players should still be extra careful when choosing an eWallet to deposit and withdraw funds used for internet casino gambling.

As of now, OCC advises players to stay clear from any startup company's other than EZiPay, which is actually an established Australia-based payment processor. EZiPay is now being offered at several eCOGRA approved Microgaming Casinos, which in itself, should attest to the credibility and trustworthiness of this third party eWallet.

Again, do not make deposits at sites you have not heard of before. Currently, Click2Pay, Eco Card and EZiPay are excellent international choices for making both withdrawals and deposits, while all of the other payment processors listed on our deposit methods page are excellent region-specific choices for depositing and withdrawing gambling funds.

Additionally, OCC advises all players to only open accounts with trusted software providers, such as Microgaming. Both Microgaming and Real Time Gaming are keeping their doors open to international business, while still abiding by the strict regulation standards of gambling commissions in Kahnawake, Antigua, and Gibraltar to name a few.
