Apple is of course well known as one of the most forward thinking technology companies, and that’s just one of the reasons why it’s been so successful. Another reason is of course that it launches great products, and although the latest product offering may not have hit the headlines like the recent release of the new iPhone did, it is still a superb and innovative addition to the Apple family.
The new Apple Pay system is available on the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus and it enables users to pay for goods and services directly from their phones, at physical stores and in apps, which led us to thinking about Apple Pay casinos, and more to the point, would iPhone 6 users be able to use Apple Pay to deposit into app store or online casinos? Apple Pay is linked to all three major US credit cards, those of Visa, MasterCard and American Express and is also being accepted at many major stores and outlets in the US, including the big names of Nike, McDonalds, Foot Locker and Walgreens, so what’s stopping users make their deposits into an online casino?
In theory non US mobile casinos that are in the app store could accept Apple Pay, however it’s all down to the actual online casino, and we could very well see many casinos and mobile casinos begin accepting this method, after all if they accept those major credit cards then why not.
So what’s in this for US mobile casino games players? Sadly, probably not a lot initially, as the way US mobile casinos work is slightly different to the way that the app store casinos of Europe work, however we have thought of one use. Apple Pay is accepted at Walmarts and Walmarts is a well known provider of prepaid Visa cards and Visa gift cards which almost all US mobile casinos will accept, so in a cheeky and a round about way, you can indeed fund your US mobile casino account using Apple Pay, making almost all mobile casinos that accept US players Apple Pay casinos, if you see what we mean.
