Instadebit Details Page

Ease of Use (9)

It is very difficult to get much easier than what Instadebit is able to provide. One of the great features is that it works not unlike your debit card, or writing a check, would. So Instadebit is not hitting customers with something they are familiar with or can not understand. When a customer finds the Instadebit button, he or she can make a purchase right then and there. And even if the customer is in the midst of the bank verification process, which can take 5-7 days, a purchase can be made, because there is that ability, albeit with limits, during that particular period (limits are raised after verification).

Promptness (8)

In terms of time, it is convenient when you do not necessarily have to set up a funded account but instead can route those purchases right through from your bank account. As it relates to the online casino experience, the process is very quick, and in fact you go from scratch, registering for Instadebit and registering for the casino virtually at the same time. That provides great convenience for the customer. Withdrawals may take up to seven days, however.

Available to U.S. Players (5)

Rather weak. Right now Instadebit supports only the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar (as it is used by Canadian residents). And we do not see any plans on the board for additional currencies to be supported.

Mulitple Currencies (5)

In this category, Instadebit is pretty strong, because it very easily facilitates the process of doing business online with merchants without having to expose credit card or bank information. And it doesn't require funding a second account. They work with communications software with 128-bit encryption. They are certified by VeriSign. They say their production servers are monitored 24 hours a day for any intrusion attempts. There is protection for the customer through Merchant Services, in which they monitor and investigate fraud complaints against merchants using their system and take appropriate steps if necessary.
