Are there any $5 minimum deposit sites ?

8 replies • Last post

Hi, just wondering if there are any good sites out there that have only a $5 minimum to play. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I am low on funds but want to keep playing (you never know) ?!

There are, but very few (if any) that I know of support American players. The reason for this is the cost of transacting with Americans is higher due to the difficulty casinos have in dealing with US-based banks and credit card companies.

Always play it safe! Consult our list of rogue casinos and warnings before depositing at a new casino.

Obviously, CL-Ed knows a lot more about this than I do, but personally, I have never seen a minimum deposit lower than twenty bucks, and typically I see minimum deposits of like 30 to 35 dollars most places I have played.

One thing I have noticed with the casinos is the completely free chips are disappearing. I used to receive such offers through email AND snail mail, and for about the past year or so the "free" chips are always connected to a deposit match - claim this deposit match, THEN we will give you a "free" ten or twenty dollars.

I was introduced to many online casinos through those free chips, and it was nice to be rewarded with a "freebie,"every once in a while, as I continued playing.

Seems, much like the land casinos around my areas, they are cutting back, OR maybe it is because I am no longer new to them.

One thing I used to do when I couldn't afford to deposit, but I wanted to keep playing, is play the free tournaments so I could keep playing. 3Dice casino has some free tournaments, and I am sure some others do, too.

Good luck! 🙂

Among good casinos, Betfred take the minimum deposit of 5 GBP. I assume that it will be $5 if you open your account in USD.

There are quite a few which take the minimum of $10, as I remember.

But, I guess that there are very few providing Match Bonuses. BetFair uniquely provide 100% Match bonuses up to 5~6 GBP, but their minimum deposit is 10 GBP via Skrill. Check this one, too.

I will add some more if I find.

There are a few in the Casino Rewards group of Microgaming casinos that allow deposits for as little as $1. For example, Zodiac casino gives you a 2000% bonus of $20 with a $1 deposit.

But again, that is no help to an American player as they are not allowed.

Yeah, us American players are screwed when it comes to low deposits because of the expensive cost of processing our payments. It likely won't change either, as regulation is s long way off here and the gray market will have a high cost of doing business with us. :\

I just found that in BetFair, the minimum deposit for credit card is 5 GBP.
I guess that it should be $5 if you open your account in USD.
But, I don't know if there are different minimum deposit policies according to the jurisdictions.

Hi, I doubt that Jane307 is still checking this post 🙂
But, anyway, as I find, Jackpot Capital takes the minimum deposit of $5 via Skrill 🙂

And if you do not mind playing Zar 🙂 :) , SpringBok can be a good option. They provide all kinds of Match bonuses with the minimum deposit of 25 Zar. $1 = 25 Zar roughly 🙂
