How to choose the best method of replenishment by country
The same method in different countries gives different results in speed, commissions and approval. The key is to choose a local "rail" (open banking, fast transfers, e-wallet, vouchers), which is well integrated with your operator and familiar to the banks of your region. Below is a quick selection algorithm and a practical cheat sheet by country/region.
60 Second Selection Algorithm (SOP)
1. Target: Speed (instant) or minimum commission?
2. Currency: Does the account currency match the method/bank currency? (avoid unnecessary conversion).
3. Compatibility with bonuses: is the method excluded from the promo (often Skrill/Neteller/wallets)?
4. CCL/Limits: Is KYC passed and method/bank/casino limits enough for your amount?
5. Future conclusion: can it be deduced by the same method? (better yes).
6. Choose a local rail (see cheat sheet below) and make a small test deposit.
Main criteria (which is more important in fact)
Conversion (approvability): higher for local A2A (pay-by-bank), e-wallet, instant systems.
Speed: instant - open banking/local fast transfers, e-wallet; cards and interbank - longer.
Commissions: local A2A and e-wallet are usually cheaper than cards/interbank; avoid DCC/dual FX.
KYC/AML: first large payment/output - prepare ID, selfie, PoA and, if necessary, SoF.
Bonuses: Check exceptions for pre-deposit methods.
Profile stability: no VPN, familiar device/IP = fewer manual checks.

Cards, e-wallet, open banking, crypto - when to take what
Currency and Fees - Quick Rules
One conversion instead of three. Try to keep account currency = replenishment currency.
Disable DCC (dynamic conversion at merchant/bank).
Local rail = less fees. A2A and instant systems are usually cheaper than cards/interbank.
What to check before replenishment (checklist)
- The method is available in my country and for my account.
- The currency of the replenishment is the same as the currency of the account (or I agree to FX).
- KYC passed (ID/PoA), there are enough limits for the amount.
- The method participates in the bonus (or I consciously refuse the promo).
- Same output plan or clear alternative.
- VPN disabled, device/IP familiar.
