Land-based gambling is legal in Lebanon, but there is only one online gambling site, PlayLebanon. All other forms of online casinos and online gambling are entirely illegal. However, this means that there is at least one Lebanese pound online casino in the country which operates a lottery as well. Players will have a hard time finding foreign Lebanese pound online casinos, firstly, because the government blocks offshore gambling sites, and secondly, because almost no offshore online casinos support the Lebanese pound and players have to convert their Lebanese pounds into one of the major internationally traded currencies. Players can use VPNs to find licensed online casinos that accept Lebanese players.
Saudi Arabian Riyal players are mostly Saudis, although there are plenty of Indians, Pakistani and Filipino gamblers who use it. The high number of foreigners working in Saudi Arabia means that they are paid in this currency and can also use it for gambling. It was only a matter of time for Saudi Arabian Riyal online casinos to emerge and provide these prospective customers with the means to deposit and wager in SAR.
Players who choose international casinos that don’t accept players from Saudi Arabia and don’t support the currency can still play there. The downside is that when they deposit from their Saudi Arabian Riyal bank accounts or e-wallets, they will incur transaction fees. The US dollar is the obvious alternative at most international casinos, followed closely by the Euro and the Sterling Pound
"Serbian players who want to make the transition from play money to real currency would instinctively choose the Serbian Dinar for deposits. When this appears on the list of accepted currencies, the process is straightforward and cost-effective. Sometimes, this is not the possibility and not even the flagship casinos cover all currencies. However, they don't deny transfers made with credit cards, wire transfers or electronic wallets if the default currency is the Serbian Dinar.
The casino will perform the transaction automatically and players can compared the sum transferred from the credit card to the amount available in the online account. This keeps the process transparent and allows customers to make an accurate assessment of the currency exchange rate. The information can be used as a reference for future transactions, so players know exactly how much they pay in fees and commission. While this is good enough, the best case scenario is to waive these fees all together.
"Over the last couple of years the number of Singapore Dollar players has risen sharply, as more international casinos offer support for this currency. Some of them might have chosen to try the thrills of Internet gambling just because their national currency is not supported. The vast majority however have jumped on the bandwagon to cut down on the costs associated to currency exchange.
Singapore Dollar online casinos are frequented mostly by players from Singapore, although they accept international customers. That's why they made sure that foreign players could enjoy the same perks as Singaporean customers when it came to currency conversion. USD, EUR, GBP, JPY and AUD are also accepted currencies. Players from other countries whose money is not on this list can use their national currency and have the casino convert it with reasonably low fees.
"In the great scheme of things, the Solomon Islands dollar is a tiny currency with very little relevance. The residents of the islands use it every day, but worldwide almost nobody knows about it or its equivalent in US dollars. Not surprisingly, online casinos don’t bother adding this currency on the list and invite players from the islands to use mainstream currencies. USD deposits and withdrawals are definitely available and there’s also a strong possibility to be able to deposit in EUR are and GBP.
One would have to be terribly lucky to find casinos accepting Solomon Islands dollars as a currency for gambling. Since there are no local casinos who would be compelled by the law to accept this currency, its citizens should brace for foreign exchange commission. The good news is that there are quite low regardless of the payment method of choice. The latter influence mostly the processing time of withdrawals, while deposits are still performed instantly.
"South African Rand players are overwhelmingly South African residents, who seek a more convenient way of gambling online. They had the option of playing at local casinos and international operators before, but had to deal with the nagging currency conversion fees. They no longer need to pay any commission when making a deposit to South African Rand online casinos.
Many foreign operators have updated their list of accepted currencies to include the ZAR. Even though progress has been made, there are still enough casinos that don’t offer the possibility of depositing in this currency. Players who want to gamble at South African Rand online casinos but deposit another currency, can do it. They get to choose the payment method, knowing that the casino will convert the funds automatically.
"South Korean players can feel at a disadvantage compared to their peers from neighboring countries who can gamble freely at local casinos. Over the Internet, they enjoy the same perks and at selected operators they can also deposit in their national currency. Given the huge potential of the local market, international casinos were quick to add the South Korean Won on the currency list. The ones that do differentiate themselves from competitors have a better chance at gaining their business.
South Koreans are well versed in the art of performing complex calculations, but players shouldn’t be bothered with currency exchange. That’s why they prefer casinos that don’t have them jump through the hoops and take care of the technicalities. It is expected from casinos to allow players to deposit in different currencies and perform the currency exchange in the background. Users don’t have to be overwhelmed with technical details and only notified about the successful completion of transfers.
