The credit card at the casino

The route is familiar and comfortable: enter the card number, the amount is credited. The way back works differently from what most people expect, and that is the single point worth knowing about it.

A refund up to the amount deposited

For this case the card infrastructure knows the reversal of an earlier payment. So what goes back onto the card is at most what came off it. Whatever exceeds that — the winnings, in other words — runs over a different route, as a rule a bank transfer.

What that means for the sequence

1. The part up to the amount deposited comes back onto the card as a refund, often spread over several days.
2. The rest requires a second route to be on file.
3. That second route is verified, and it happens once the amount is already outstanding.
4. Two entries appear on the card statement, and they partly cancel each other out.

Debit and prepaid cards

The same principle holds for debit cards. Prepaid cards with no refund function, by contrast, behave like prepaid vouchers: in yes, out no. The Paysafecard case.

When the card is still the right choice

When no other route is available and the amount stays modest. Anyone who reckons on a withdrawal sets the second route up while opening the account — at a point with no time pressure on it.
