A Luminous Casino deposit must come from an account, payment system or card registered in your own name, and you must be the authorised user of the payment method. Several account currencies may be available, although an individual payment method may not process every currency. For card deposits, funds are credited only after the payment issuer has approved and authorised the transaction.
Deposit Rules at a Glance
The main deposit conditions cover payment ownership, currency handling, possible charges and the point at which a card transaction is credited. These rules apply to the payment itself rather than defining a complete cashier-screen sequence.
| Deposit Situation | Rule or Effect |
|---|---|
| Payment authorisation | You must be the authorised user of the payment method you use. |
| Deposit source | The account, payment system or card used for the deposit must be registered in your own name. |
| Currency support | Several account currencies may be available, but a particular payment method may not process every currency. Where needed, the processing currency and a conversion calculator may be shown. |
| Deposit in another currency | The daily OANDA rate or the bank or payment processor's prevailing rate may be used for conversion, and additional exchange fees may apply. |
| Deposit transaction fees | In most cases Luminous Casino absorbs the deposit transaction fee, although your bank may still impose its own charge. |
| Card deposit | The deposit is credited only after the payment issuer approves and authorises the transaction. |
| Charge-back, payment denial or reversal | A €50 or equivalent administration fee may apply for each event. |
Payment Ownership and Verification
The payment source must belong to you. Luminous Casino requires you to be the authorised user of the method, and deposits must come from an account, payment system or card registered in your own name.
If payment verification is requested, bank statements or screenshots may be used to show ownership of the payment method. This connects the deposit-source rule with the evidence that may be requested when ownership needs to be checked.
Before submitting any requested evidence, it is useful to make sure that the relevant ownership information is readable and consistent with the payment source being used. The dedicated payment verification requirements page covers the wider verification task.
Deposit Currencies and Conversion
Luminous Casino can support several account currencies, but that does not mean every payment method processes every available currency. Where a method requires a different processing currency, the site may show that currency together with a conversion calculator.
If a deposit is made in another currency, conversion may use the daily OANDA rate or the bank or payment processor's prevailing rate. Some payment systems may also apply additional exchange fees.
The practical point is to distinguish the account currency from the currency actually processed by the payment method. A method-specific currency limitation can therefore lead to conversion even when several account currencies are available.
Fees, Card Approval and Reversals
Deposit charges can come from different sources. In most cases Luminous Casino absorbs the transaction fee for the deposit itself, while your bank may still charge you separately. The absence of a service-level deposit fee therefore does not mean that a bank charge is impossible.
Card deposits also depend on issuer approval. The account is credited only after the payment issuing institution approves and authorises the transaction. This condition describes the approval point and does not establish a fixed processing time.
A separate rule applies to charge-backs, payment denials and reversals. A €50 or equivalent administration fee may apply for each such event.
How the Deposit Method Affects Withdrawals
The deposit source can matter later when funds are withdrawn. Deposits must come from a payment source registered in your own name, and the normal withdrawal method is the original method used for the deposit.
Luminous Casino may allow a different withdrawal method at its discretion, but an alternative is subject to additional security checks. This means the withdrawal method is not automatically independent of the original deposit source.
The withdrawal methods and rules page covers that later transaction in its own context.
Using a Bonus Code With a Deposit
A bonus code can be entered during a deposit to accept a bonus offer. Once a code is used for that purpose, the terms of the specific bonus apply.
This describes the accepted deposit-time bonus-code action without assuming that a particular current code or offer is always available. For the wider offer conditions, use the bonus codes and terms page.

No. You must be the authorised user of the payment method, and the account, payment system or card used for the deposit must be registered in your own name.

In most cases Luminous Casino absorbs the deposit transaction fee, but your bank may still impose its own charge.
When Is a Card Deposit Credited?
A card deposit is credited only after the payment issuer approves and authorises the transaction.
