Kansino offers iDEAL in The Netherlands

The Netherlands is one of the most secure iGaming locations in Europe, and Kansino is one of the safest within the country, choosing to partner with such secure payment methods as iDEAL. Kansino has plenty of games to play online, but this level of payment security and safety for its players is something that makes it appealing to its customers. 

What is iDEAL?

An eCommerce payment system that is the perfect method for online banking in the Netherlands, iDEAL is the best companion for Kansino. The online payment method makes it fast and easy to make online payments through the customers' own bank, using the online banking app or through the online payment environment of their bank. iDEAL provides a secure process to transfer funds directly from your bank account to your Kansino account.

iDEAL is a payment method that was developed by several Dutch banks back in 2005, allowing the platform where all major banks are found easily to make transfers securely online. iDEAL now makes up 70% of all online payments in the Netherlands and is exclusive to the country. This is one of the major reasons why Dutch online casinos, such as Kansino, choose to use it as the platform for payment processing for its gaming community. 

The iDEAL payment page that is available on Kansino makes it so easy to choose your specific bank and payment option. It includes all major Dutch banks, making it simple for any person to deposit cash and get playing as soon as possible, but with the security protocols in place that keep their money safe.

How to use iDEAL

It is simple and straightforward to use iDEAL to make online payments to your Kansino account. All you need to do on the deposit page is select iDEAL, choose your bank and this will take you through to your bank platform. Log in, and verify the transaction details, this will then be approved, and the process completed almost instantaneously. 

What are the advantages of iDEAL?

There are a few different advantages that make iDEAL the perfect payment method partner for Kansino. As online gambling has increased in popularity in the Netherlands, and a greater number of people are playing casino games online, it is important to understand the advantages of iDEAL.

• Legitimacy – as has been stated above, iDEAL is responsible for 70% of all online payments in the Netherlands and is found within a wide range of retail environments as a payment process. For Kansino, this makes iDEAL the ideal partner to offer legitimacy to customers looking to deposit funds and get started with the games.
• No need to register– for simplicity and speed, iDEAL can be used without the need for a registration process, as you can use the process if you are a customer of one of the participating banks. 
• Stay informed and within your limits – there is always a big push for any form of online gambling to be transparent and safe for customers. With iDEAL you can instantly see your payment on your bank account statement, helping you to maintain control over your bank balance.
• Quick and easy – all payment details are pre-filled automatically, and once you click that button, you’ll be made instantly aware if the payment has been a success or not. This has not always been the case with online casino and gambling systems, so it helps customers to feel part of the action immediately. 
• Go mobile – Kansino players can make payments and play their favourite online casino games from the palm of their hand, through mobile apps. We use our phones for most things these days, so knowing you can swiftly deposit money securely on your favourite online casino, wherever you are, brings peace of mind.
• Data security – all transactions processed through iDEAL are done so directly through your bank’s online banking page. What this means is that you do not have to share your data with the casino site, or any site that uses iDEAL, adding extra security to your payment method.
• No transaction fees – with no transaction fees, iDEAL is a good choice for gamers who want to use all their deposit money on the fun stuff, and not lose a percentage to deposit fees. 

One thing to be aware of with iDEAL is that although it is very easy and secure to deposit money from your bank account directly into your Kansino account, you cannot withdraw your cash. What this means, is that the next time you build up some casino winnings, you’ll need another method to cash out.

What are the rules for online payment methods in Dutch casinos?

As of April 2021, online casinos have been permitted in the Netherlands. This was after the enactment of The Remote Gambling Act. Although there are no actual formal requirements in Dutch law with regards to casinos and Internet or mobile banking, it is stated in law that online banking services may not be interrupted for longer than two hours at a time. 

Legitimate online casino operators must have a licence from the Kansspelautoriteit, which regulates Dutch gambling and betting activity. This also ensures that the latest SSL encryption technology is used to protect all customer data. There has also been dialogue with regards the implementation of player limits since a successful lowering in Belgium that saw a new lower weekly loss limit of €200 per week. By the end of 2023, there could be similar measures in the Netherlands designed to help safeguard regular customers of online casinos. Kansino always has the customer at the forefront of its ideals as an online casino, and this is the sort of safeguarding that makes sense within the relatively new world of online gambling in the country.
