Citadel

Citadel Poker Deposits

Boasting more than $1 billion transacted since 1999, Citadel is a payment transfer service with much to be proud of.

Featured as a payment method on Bodog, UltimateBet, Golden Palace, Full Tilt, and PokerStars.com, Citadel can brag about compatibility. At a time when the state of gambling on the internet is in shaky legal territory, Citadel has remained true to name -- a reliable and trustworthy place for customers looking to transfer payments online.

USA Poker & Casino Deposits Using Citadel

Currently, the only way that players from the United States can take advantage of Citadel is through Golden Casino -- that is as of August 2008 -- but at least they haven't locked out their US customers completely as many of their competitors have. Paypal began the trend away from allowing customers based in America to transfer cash for the purpose of gambling, and the other eWallet sites have fallen in line, slowly but surely. Let's hope this is one trend Citadel continues to buck.

myCitadel Wallet

myCitadel Wallet is what it sounds like, a personal cash account accessible and payable via the internet. It is a payment service that enables you to transfer and withdraw funds from hundreds of internet businesses.

myCitadel is presented by the originators of the Citadel Commerce Electronic Check Cashing System. myCitadel allows users to store real cash online for use at participating internet sites. Skimming user reviews, you find that customers claim to be able to easily transfer cash into your myCitadel wallet directly from your bank, and you can easily transfer cash out directly to your bank account. The report on waiting times for transfers is too muddy to report -- it is safe to assume it will take a couple of weeks for the various financial institutions involved to come through, as with any other online payment service.

myCitadel allows you to transfer money to participating internet merchants instantly without having to share any personal banking information. Your banking and personal details stay within your myCitadel wallet and are never provided to any internet merchant, according to their website, www.mycitadel.com

myCitadel Wallet offers customers "unprecedented internet transaction security" as well as a host of new and exciting features currently under development, including an optional ATM card. This company doesn't mind experimenting a bit -- rumors appear live on their website about what online casinos may soon make use of their services, or of a new feature that the geeks behind the scene have been talking about incorporating. In a sense, this is the Google of online payment transfers, if you don't mind me mixing metaphors a bit.

The myCitadel Wallet is about as secure as they come -- every time you access your myCitadel Wallet account, your information is encrypted using the same technology used by Paypal and other major financial institutions.

myCitadel does not charge customers to deposit and the fees are competitive with other eWallets -- around 30 bucks flat rate for withdrawals. This service is quick on the jump, too -- with "Instant funding" you can sign up, deposit funds, and in minutes you are ready to do business.

Featuring plenty of deposit options, myCitadel Wallet doesn't force you to bend to their will. Real-time bank transfers are available to customers from Europe, and you can choose from direct bank deposit, or deposit by credit or debit cards. Withdrawal options are similar but include the ability to print a good old fashioned paper check. Of course, real-time bank transfers are available as well as direct bank deposits.

myCitadel Security

I wasn't kidding earlier about Citadel's commitment to security. They offer an unconditional 100% protection against unauthorized payments sent from your account -- consider this fraud insurance.

Citadel Points

If all this doesn't convince you, there's something called "Citadel Points" which members earn by transferring various levels of money. When a customer accumulates a certain amount of Citadel Points, that customer is able to choose from a selection of free gifts. Sounds gimmicky -- then again, what are comps at the casino?

With twenty-four hour customer service, a website that is easy to access (as well as easy to read and understand), and a history of trying to help customers in their search for an online payment service, Citadel has made a name for itself. Especially for those of you living in Europe, Citadel is an online payment option to make note of.
