While I was playing at my favorite Canadian-friendly online casinos during the holidays, it struck me how many online payments methods there are available for Canadian online gambling fans to choose from, which is why below I've highlighted what I consider to be the most popular and the best Canadian online casino payment methods:

Credit Cards - Let's face it, Visa and MasterCard are still the quickest, easiest and safest online casino deposit methods, and thus one of the most popular amongst Canadian online gamblers. Be aware though that most online casinos only allow withdrawals by Visa cardholders, which means MasterCard holders must use another withdrawal method.

Debit Cards - Pretty much the same applies to debit cards as with credit cards.

MoneyBookers - This is a fast, convenient and secure e-wallet that is accepted by most Canadian online casinos, and is the ideal alternative at online casinos which don't accept credit cards or debit cards. The way it works is that you must first fund your MoneyBookers account before you can use it to fund your online casino accounts.

UsemyBank - This instant and reputable online payment method allows you to make free deposits into your respective Canadian online casino accounts directly from your existing bank (checking) account.

Click2pay - This is another quick, convenient and safe e-wallet that is accepted by most Canadian online casinos, and one which rivals MoneyBookers in terms of convenience and security. Click2Pay caters for a number of currencies including the Canadian dollar.

ClickandBuy - This method of payment allows you to combine your existing payment methods - like your credit card and checking account - using a single, user-friendly interface. But unlike depositing directly using your credit card or via your bank account, by using ClickandBuy you don't have to exchange or disclose sensitive financial information.

Instadebit - This is an e-wallet pretty similar to MoneyBookers and Click2Pay, where once you've funded your safe and secure Instadebit account - which acts like a 'middleman' between you and the casino - you can use it to fund your Canadian online casino accounts without disclosing any personal financial data.

Echeck - As its name suggests, this is a popular online casino payment method where you deposit a 'virtual check' into your online casino accounts. Be aware though that you may initially be required to physically visit your bank to set up an echeck facility. Also, not all Canadian-friendly online casinos allow you to make withdrawals into your Echeck account.

Now that you know what the best and safest Canadian online casino payment methods are, go forth, deposit and win!
