Casino City launches directory of payment methods
Normally we reserve use of this space for GPWA announcements. However, we think the new Casino City directory of payment methods will be of interest to many GPWA members. The new directory describes the 142 payment methods available at online gambling sites and ranks them in popularity. When visitors click on a payment method, they are given some background information about it. We welcome feedback from GPWA members about how we might make the directory even better. And if you see any mistakes, please let us know so we can fix them.
