For online gaming enthusiasts in gaming friendly countries like the UK or Canada, the biggest roadblock comes when it’s actually the time to pay or get paid. Most people want to keep their little gaming forays to be kept to themselves, and quite understandably so. While at the same time, many others are quite wary of and reluctant to actually enter their card information on online gaming sites. Fair enough. It was for these people that virtual credit and debit cards were brought into the mainstream of online gaming.

Here’s how Virtual Cards can help your gaming routine!

Virtual credit cards (VCCs) or prepaid cards (VPCs) are operated by a finance holding company that acts a mediator between you and your actual credit card. So, all you have to do is load the VCC or VPC with the amount of money you are comfortable with, using your real credit card. Once the money gets onto the VCC/VPC, you can use the virtual card details provided by them just like any old credit card!

The best part is, your bank statement will never carry any transaction under any online gaming website’s name. You will only see the VCC provider’s name in your statement. So, VCCs or VPCs can keep your leisure activities, shall we say, safe and tucked into oblivion.

Another thing about VCCs and VPCs is that you can withdraw the winnings or unspent amount from gaming websites directly onto the virtual card. This money can then be used for all kinds of e-shopping or be withdrawn to your designated bank account, at no extra fees!
