E-wallet deposits are generally considered to be superior to other payment methods, as they allow you to send the money instantly, usually without having to worry about any additional fees. Furthermore, most of the popular e-commerce banking methods allow you to withdraw your winnings using the same account, which means that you're pretty much guaranteed to receive your money as soon as your request has been processed by the sports betting site. Unfortunately, the availability of some of these options is rather limited in countries that still have strict anti-gambling laws, such as the United States. In fact, all ewallet service providers have left the US gambling market. Players in America can visit our page on USA sportsbook deposits to find out which US friendly options are available. For the time being, electronic wallet banking options are primarily a UK sportsbook deposit method.

United Kingdom is one of the most online sports betting-friendly countries in the world, which means that there are no regulations that would prevent UK-facing sportsbooks from offering e-wallet deposits and withdrawals. As a result, most of the UK-based punters use various e-commerce solutions to cover their expenses and cash out, with the most popular options being Neteller, Skrill and Instadebit, though Paypal, EcoPayz, Click2Pay, Instadebit and Entropay are also popular and reputable choices.

Neteller used to be the most popular e-wallet service as far as online gambling deposits are concerned. Even though the company was forced out of the US market, Neteller payments are still exceptionally popular among European players, particularly in the United Kingdom. Neteller guarantees lightning-fast and secure transactions and allows you to withdraw within a day or two from placing your request. Learn more about this option in our guide to Neteller sports betting deposits.

Previously known as Moneybookers, Skrill is the second most popular e-wallet solution for European gambling enthusiasts. The quality of service is pretty much comparable with Neteller, so it should come as no surprise that the vast majority of sports betting-related payments is processed by one of those two companies. Skrill is also accepted at thousands of other online merchants around the world. You can learn more about how to make Skrill sportsbook deposits to find out why it is a preferred option among non-USA players.

EcoPayz used to be known as EcoCard, but has been rebranded in 2013. The company offers lightning-fast online banking solutions and allows you to make a deposit to most UK-facing sports betting sites by using a special payment card. Please note that while making a payment is completely free of charge, loading your card requires you to cover a small fee by EcoPayz. This is pretty common among electronic wallet service providers. You can visit our page on EcoPayz sportsbook deposits to learn more about this online banking option.

Entropay is an e-commerce company that offers virtual Visa and MasterCard debit cards and is supported by most of the Europe-facing sportsbooks. Aside from low fees, increased safety and instant funds transfers, the biggest advantage of using Entropay is the fact that your credit card statement is going to show Entropay UK instead of a sports betting company, providing a certain level of anonymity. Find out more in our guide to Entropay sports betting deposits.

Instadebit offers a convenient way of covering you online sports betting expenses without exposing any additional personal information to your sportsbook by allowing you to draw money directly from your checking account. While this deposit method isn't as popular as Skrill or Neteller, it does offer a similar sense of security and speed, and does not require a credit card for funding your account. Read more about this convenient banking method in our section dedicated to Instadebit sportsbook deposits.

PayPal has is very strict when it comes to dealing with online sports betting sites due to the fact that the company is based in the United States. However, if you've joined a sportsbook that does support PayPal deposits and withdrawals, this method is an excellent alternative to all the other banking options and can easily rival Neteller or Skrill in terms of fees, security and speed. Non-USA customers are able to use their PayPal account for gambling related transactions in most non-USA regions. Learn more in our PayPal Sportsbook Deposits guide.

Ukash is actually not an electronic wallet service, but it does provide an option for funding your sports betting account without using your credit or debit card. The Ukash e-commerce system is based in London and is quite popular all over the UK, so it should come as no surprise that virtually every UK-facing site supports Ukash payments. As the name infers, players may purchase a Ukash voucher from retail locations using cash, and then use that voucher to fund their online sportsbook account. Making a Ukash deposit is no different from making any other Ukash purchase – all you need to do is enter the Ukash code in your sportsbook's cashier menu and the money will be credited to your account from the balance on your voucher. We went ahead and included Ukash on this page because even though you do not manage an online electronic wallet account, you are able to use your cash voucher in the same way as an ewallet, you just load the voucher using cash rather than loading it online using a credit or debit card. You can also use your Ukash voucher to fund an ewallet account if you so choose. This can give you faster access to withdrawals. Learn more about using cash to fund your account through Ukash sportsbook deposits.

Formerly known as UseMyBank, UseMyServices is an e-commerce platform that allows you to make a deposit to many UK-facing sports betting sites through a real-time debit transaction that uses the existing bank infrastructure. One of the coolest features of UseMyServices is the ability to simulate a Visa or MasterCard payment without actually using a credit card of this kind via the UseMyCard prepaid service.

Click2Pay is a safe, convenient and secure e-commerce service that allows you to transfer your money free of charge to every UK-facing online sportsbook. Click2Pay accounts can be funded via Visa, MasterCard, Ukash and wire transfers. Much like Neteller or Skrill, Click2Pay issues proprietary debit cards, which give you direct access to your funds through other Click2Pay merchants and ATM withdrawals.

WebMoney is a Russian e-commerce service, which used to cater to customers from Russia and other Eastern European countries. However, WebMoney has since then expanded to other countries, so it should come as no surprise that some of the Europe-facing sports betting sites that accept UK-based punters support WebMoney payments.

Most of the popular e-commerce options aren't available in the United States due to the fact that the UIGEA bill presents some barriers for those companies to process sports betting-related payments. Consequently, US-based players are pretty much forced to deposit using alternative methods, such as credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express, as well as person to person money transfers by services such as Western Union and MoneyGram. Secure Payment Vouchers are also a highly viable solution for USA players. Prepaid card deposits can also be a good option when US players can find cards that include clearance for international purchases. One newer type of digital wallet funding option that has recently emerged and that is accessible to US players is bitcoin sportsbook deposits. BetOnline.ag is one of the first US friendly sportsbooks that is adding this option to their banking menu, and is allowing their American players to utilize it for account funding.
