Caesars has ceased the acceptance of credit card deposits on its U.S. online gambling platforms, aligning itself with other significant players who have discontinued this payment method in light of increased regulatory oversight.

This update is applicable to all Caesars Digital sites and applications within the United States, which encompasses Caesars Palace Online Casino, Caesars Racebook, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, Horseshoe Casino, William Hill Sportsbook, and World Series of Poker Online.

This policy is not relevant to Caesars’ online services in Puerto Rico or Ontario.

“This decision follows several months of thorough independent reviews and evaluations that started last fall, during which we meticulously examined our deposit mechanisms and customer preferences,” a spokesperson from Caesars informed SBC Americas.

“By refining our payment choices, we are enhancing the deposit process, increasing operational efficiency, and reaffirming our dedication to providing a seamless, customer-centric digital experience.”

This action reflects a growing trend among other major U.S. operators. DraftKings eliminated credit card deposits for sports betting and online casino offerings nationwide in August 2025. FanDuel halted them on March 2, 2026; BetMGM initiated a phase-out later that month, while bet365 discontinued credit card deposits across the U.S. on April 13.

Fanatics Betting and Gaming has never permitted credit card transactions for online sports betting or casino gaming since its U.S. launch. Similar to Caesars, DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365 still allow credit card usage in Ontario’s regulated market.

The industry’s trend comes at a time when numerous U.S. states are enacting measures to limit credit card usage for online gambling. States like Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia already prohibit credit cards for online sports betting.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger signed House Bill 515 into law on April 13 after a unanimous Senate approval in March.

Maine Governor Janet Mills signed Legislative Document 2080 in early April, barring credit cards for the state’s current online sports betting sector and its upcoming online casino industry.

Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York have also contemplated bills this year to ban credit card deposits in online sports betting.

The situation has garnered federal attention. Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren reached out to several sports betting companies ahead of the Super Bowl, seeking details about their credit card policies. She noted that some customers reported being unaware that deposits made via credit cards could incur cash advance fees and other financial charges.
