Before you deposit: a checklist
This is not a step-by-step guide to paying a particular operator. It is a checklist to read before any deposit, at any cashier, Woos included.
Note: the set of methods and the limits depend on the operator and your account type — always check the cashier. This page explains what to read, not how to pay any specific operator.
1. Who you are paying
The first check is the site, not the method. The footer should name the company running the service and the authority that licensed it, with a licence number. Look that number up in the regulator's own public register, not on the casino's page. Then check that the licence covers players in your country and that gambling online is lawful where you live.
2. Your limits before theirs
Set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit in the account before the first payment. It is easier to choose a cap with a cool head than halfway through a session. See responsible gambling.
3. The confirmation screen
Before confirming, read the amount, any operator fee, the account currency and whether the deposit triggers a bonus. Some cashiers have the bonus box ticked by default; a table player often does well to untick it, because live games usually contribute little or nothing to wagering. The logic is on the wagering page.
4. The return route
Ask whether the method you deposit with can also receive a withdrawal. If the answer is no or unclear, the cashier or support should tell you the alternative route, usually a bank transfer in your name.
5. Receipts
Keep a record of every deposit: date, amount, method and transaction ID. If a credit does not arrive, support will ask for exactly these details. For crypto, save the transaction hash.
6. When to stop
If your bank declines a payment, do not try another card, a relative's account or an intermediary. Some countries require banks to block gambling payments to unlicensed sites; a refusal is information, not an obstacle.

7. One method, not five
Spreading deposits across many methods makes your spending harder to track and can complicate withdrawals under the return-method rule. One or two methods in your own name keep the record clean.
