Mastercard Live Casinos - General Details and Top Casinos

It does not matter whether you have a prepaid or credit card version of MasterCard. You can use both to deposit at any online casinos that accept MasterCard deposits. The process of depositing with both is identical to making a typical bank transfer. In mere seconds, your deposit should clear and land in your account. The only difference here is that prepaid MasterCard requires you to have the deposited funds already on your balance, while traditional MasterCards allow you to use credit.

Let us walk you through the process next:

Making a live casino deposit and withdrawal using MasterCard

MasterCard is accepted by virtually every country in the world and seemingly every currency. As mentioned earlier, MasterCard will start to accept cryptocurrencies on their platform in late 2021. Some of the most widely used currencies include US dollars, euros, British pound sterling, Indian rupees, Chinese yuan, Japanese yen, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, and Swedish kroner. Ultimately, the availability (and desirability) of MasterCard depends on the financial institutions in your country. Each country has its own banks, and they will choose for themselves whether they issue VISA, American Express or MasterCard bank cards.

There is not much point in us rattling off the 200+ countries that currently offer MasterCard. The list would be far too long. Instead, we can just touch on the most popular places to use MasterCard. MasterCard is the most popular credit card in twenty-two countries (ahead of Amex and VISA). These countries include Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Côte d’Ivoire, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greenland, Hungary, Lithuania, Malawi, Moldova, Nigeria, Norway, Rwanda, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe. As you can see, MasterCard predominantly holds the market share of major credit card users in Scandinavia.

Despite being hugely popular in the Nordic nations, MasterCard is not typically accepted in their online casinos. Instead, they prefer to use BankID (via Trustly) to process payments. However, the bank cards used in Trustly transfers are MasterCards, for the most part. It is also worth noting that the UK no longer permits credit card deposits at casinos. If you wish to deposit with a MasterCard there, it will need to be a prepaid/debit MasterCard. Of course, players in many countries where MasterCard is not the primary option are still invited to use the bank card at casinos, assuming those casinos accept it. Many hundreds do.

Depositing with MasterCard at an live online casino will see you eligible to claim the same types of bonuses and promotions that you would expect to see elsewhere. In short, you should have no trouble snapping up live casino welcome bonuses, deposit offers, reload deals, free spins, loyalty bonuses and more. Some countries have stricter regulations than others, though, so the array of bonuses you can claim may vary from country to country.

In the past, you could often claim a one-off deposit bonus (a little slice on the top of a conventional deposit offer) if you deposited with a credit card such as MasterCard. This was often because the casino would charge you for depositing with a credit card. However, these bonuses are few and far between nowadays. Instead, the so-called “preferred” or “alternative deposit bonuses” are usually reserved for prepaid cards, cryptocurrencies, and e-wallet options.
