When using one of the West Virginia online casino options, there’s plenty of different methods of payments you can use to fund your account.
One of the options that some prefer is the use of gift cards.
A gift card allows a user to make a deposit without needing to connect a bank, debit card, or credit card of any kind.
It can make for a great option to sample an online casino as well. By making a small gift card commitment, users can see if they like the feel and performance of an operator before choosing to provide more personal financial information.
When it comes to West Virginia, there are select gift card options available if it’s a route you’re considering going down.
Operator-Branded Gift Cards for WV Online Casinos
There’s a few gift cards available for purchase that are operator specific.
These are exclusive to that given iGaming operator in West Virginia.
Previously, ESPN BET offered a gift card that ranked from $20-$250 that could also be used for online casino games at the sportsbook, or could be used to apply toward funds at Hollywood Casino online.
As of December, ESPN BET stopped operations and PENN Entertainment made the switch to theScore Bet Sportsbook, while maintaining Hollywood Casino as its iGaming platform.
There are not currently gift cards available for theScore Bet/Hollywood Casino.
However, two other operators provide exclusive gift card options.
BetMGM Casino WV
One of the top online gambling operators in the US, BetMGM, offers gift cards to its customers.
They feature values that range from $10-$100 that can be applied to the online sportsbook or online casino account.
As an added bonus, each gift card includes a $10 bonus deposit. It should be noted that the $10 bonus carries a 15x wagering requirement. However, the gift card funds themselves don’t have any wagering restrictions.
In order to transfer to your BetMGM Casino account, just scratch off the pin number that is located on the back of the card. Then, choose to make a deposit with the “Prepaid/Gift Card” option. Enter the pin number to verify your gift card and the funds will then be allocated to your account.
BetMGM gift cards are available at many different retail locations around West Virginia and in the US where legal online sportsbooks and online casinos are located. BetMGM provides a store locator search map that can direct you to the nearest available location.
The gift card can’t be used as a funding option if you want to utilize the BetMGM Casino bonus code offer for new users.
DraftKings Casino WV
Another brand-exclusive gift card option comes from DraftKings.
DraftKings offers $25 or $50 gift cards that can be used on any of the available online platforms DraftKings offers. That includes online casinos, online sportsbooks, and daily fantasy.
Adding funds from your gift card to your online account is pretty simple. Make your purchase and then select “Gift Card” on the available deposit options. Enter the value of your card, then disclose your gift card number, expiration date, and CVV to complete the transaction.
While DraftKings doesn’t have a store locator search function available, the operator advertises their cards being sold at the following retail stores:
