Visa Bingo Sites

Below we list the bingo sites that accept Visa payments. As you can imagine this is quite a long list (pretty much every bingo site that features on our website)... Therefore, we have made sure to rank them in order of quality and how easy it is to pay. For those who don't know, Visa is a multinational financial institution that processes payments between a customer’s bank and the bingo site's bank. You may recognise the iconic logo on that little piece of plastic that you carry in your wallet WHEREVER you go...

Visa cards are highly versatile and extremely commonly accepted. Though you can acquire Visa credit cards, consumers are more likely to be in possession of a Visa debit card. A Visa debit card will simply deduct the amount of money charged to it from an attached bank account. Usually there are no fees whatsoever for the customer to perform such a transaction.

Background

Visa originated as the the Bank Americard, an innovation of the Bank of America. These days, they are the second largest worldwide provider of card payment services behind China’s UnionPay and ahead of Mastercard. This is due to UnionPay’s Chinese monopoly, which only expired recently in 2015. If the Chinese market is taken out of consideration, Visa has a market share of over 50%. In 2015, Visa accounted for 32% of the world’s $21.6 trillion spent through payment cards. The Visa logo is easily recognisable by its blue and yellow design.

How to use Visa

Most bingo players are familiar with the concept of making payments via a Visa debit card. However, it doesn’t hurt to repeat it. When you've signed up to a new bingo site, and you’ve accepted the bonus terms, the time will come to deposit some funds. You will need to enter your 16 digit card number, as well as the expiration date, and the 3 digit security code or CVV. This stands for Card Verification Value, and is often on the back of your card. Players may also be asked to enter the address to which the card is registered. They may also have to enter the cardholder’s name as expressly written on the card. When depositing money, customers may be asked to go through another layer of security known as Verified by Visa. The first time customers make a payment with their new card online, they will be asked to create a password. Then, in subsequent transactions, they will be asked to recall certain digits from it. Though a little more hassle and administration, it does help to protect the customer from identity theft and fraud.

Advantages

Visa cards, and especially Visa Debit cards, are a convenient way to pay as they often do not incur any fees.
Pretty much all real money casinos will accept Visa as a valid deposit and withdrawal option.
