I’ve learned quite a lot about eCheck casinos ever since I deposited my first $5 on Captain Cooks back in the day. Now granted, I’m not a high roller—or a whale, as they’re commonly called in the iGaming community—but I’ve picked up quite a few things over the years. Why did I stick with eCheck casinos all this time? Well, I started with poker back in the day. PokerStars had (and still has) this deposit option simply called Instant eCheck—and it basically does just that.

The Bank of Nova Scotia – simply Scotiabank to most of us – is one of Canada’s most prominent “Big Five” banks. Dating back to 1832, it’s the nation’s second oldest financial institution, following Bank of Montreal (1817 est). It would seem the bank’s anti-gambling mentality hasn’t changed much over all those decades, though. Scotiabank was the very first to alter its terms of use in such a way as to restrict online gambling payments with international websites.

This article is about virtual Mastercards specifically. We will explain the different types of payment cards you can acquire, from credit to virtual.
