In the realm of great online gambling ideas, Kahnawake-licensed online poker room ChiliPoker.com has announced that it has become the first site to offer players the Washout pre-paid MasterCard following an agreement with London-based e-payment processor UKash. The card allows players’ immediate access to any money won online in order to purchase whatever they desire. In addition, ChiliPoker.com stated that the new UKashOut programme would make payouts to players easier and quicker.
The card will be issued directly from ChiliPoker.com and players will be able to select how much they want to withdraw from their online cash account, which is then immediately credited to the card. This money can then be withdrawn from an ATM machine or used anywhere MasterCard is accepted around the world online and offline. ChiliPoker.com revealed that it is initially issuing cards to VIP customers for free. It stated that these are spread over some 30 nations and its plan will draw in new customers and increase the retention rate for existing players.
This is definately the direction online casinos should be heading. I can see a real competitive edge to operators using this type of system.
