Everyone knows Casino War, whether they realize it or not
Even if you don't think that you know Casino War, you certainly know Casino War. Everyone plays that card game called War as a child; it's that card game that doesn't end, kind of like Lamb Chop's Song That Doesn't End. It's that card game in which players square off by comparing their cards drawn from the deck in each round until one person has all of the cards and the other person has no cards at all. And, believe it or not, this takes a long time. Casino War is simply the casino version of that game and real money Casino War is the version of the game played for real wagers and real money (though most casino games are played for real money, but I suppose you could play for free for practice until you get the hang of wagering). It's the same idea; in real money Casino War, one card is dealt to the dealer and one card is dealt to the player. If the player wins the higher card, then he or she wins the bet made. If the dealer wins, then the player loses. Simple. It's just like War, except that there's money involved. However, in order to enjoy this game, you must first consider the issue of online casino financing. And that's where eCheckcomes in.
Casino War & eCheck
eCheck, as might be obvious, is a type of online financial transaction that makes use of a type of electronic check (hence the name). eCheck, a Canadian service, is really more like an online debit service, though - which could likely be construed as an electronic check, as the money is takes straight from the player's bank account. The transaction then goes through a service called Authorize.Net Payment Gateway, which confirms and validates the transaction from bank account to casino account or vice versa. So the player indulging in a few rounds of real money Casino War clicks on the option to use eCheck as their service of choice and that information is sent through Authorize.Net, which checks it, confirms it and validates it. That's step 1. Authorize.Net then sends it through its bank, and that is step 2. The service then determines from the information provided the bank from which the transaction is to be taken (to wit, the consumer's bank account). That's step 3. The consumer's bank account is then charged (or refunded, or whatever else, as the case may be). That's step 4. The funds are then relayed to Authorize.Net's bank. That's step 5. Authorize.Net then does another check, and after a short holding period, the funds are deposited into their final destination. Believe it or not, that is a shortened explanation of how eCheck works - the full explanation, as well as a visual step-by-step diagram - is available at the website. In even briefer terms: the player selects the eCheck option, types in the information relevant to his or her bank account, and then transfers the money from that bank account into a casino account or vice versa. In that way, it's like an electronic check or an electronic debit transaction. eCheck, however, may not be accepted at all online casinos.
Of course, the player never sees any of the intermediate steps; all he or she sees is the transfer of funds and the availability of funds with which to play real money Casino War.
