Online Poker Deposit Methods
Online poker rooms offer innumerable deposit options enabling players to fund their online poker gaming accounts and withdraw winnings. Needless to say, poker enthusiasts who want to play poker for real money are required to fund their accounts, but new players will find it very difficult to understand various online poker deposit methods initially. Fortunately, the Internet is full of valuable information regarding each deposit option, so new players simply need to do a bit of Google research before choosing the best payment option.
Online poker rooms usually offer a wide range of deposit methods such as Visa, Mastercard, eWalletXpress, ClickandBuy, Click2Pay, PaySafeCard, band wire, check, Ukash, Ideal, Postepay, Poli, Euro6000, Neteller, MoneyBookers, Solo, Neteller, Switch, Webmoney, UseMyWallet, Maestro, Delta, Giropay, Webmoney, EcoCard and Nordea, to mention just a few.
Here is some brief information regarding two of the most popular online poker payment options.
Neteller
Neteller is one of the most common ways for a non US player to fund his/her online poker account. The site has been around for years and is therefore trustworthy and reliable, what’s more, players who deposit via Neteller get some great bonuses. Celeb Poker and Bet365 Poker are two poker sites that support Neteller.
eCheck
An Echeck is similar to a paper check except that no paper is used, the checks are electronically written online. This deposit option, though relatively new, is safer and quicker and more and more poker sites are now supporting eCheck. Poker players can fund their accounts with eChecks at Absolute Poker and PDC Poker.
Tips for New Players
Before choosing a particular payment option, players should learn as much as they can about it.
The best tip for new players is to consider their geographic location before choosing a payment option. For instance, UK players who do not wish to reveal their financial details will be happier with Ukash and US players will not be able to use certain payment options because of the gambling laws in the US.
Deposit Options for US Players
Owing to the gaming laws in the USA, some eWallets solutions such as Neteller are not available to US online gamblers. US players also find it difficult to get their credit cards accepted at some poker sites.
US players, therefore, should find sites such as Players Only Poker or Sportsbook Poker, which process credit card payments quickly, safely and securely. Other fantastic options for US players are the eCheck or instant check option available at Absolute Poker, PokerStars and Ultimate Bet. These include eWalletXpress, Western Union, Ecocard, UseMyWallet, PINdebit (which is available at PDC Poker), MoneyGram, rapid transfer (which is just the other word used for MoneyGram at Bodog), wire transfer and American Express.
Some poker sites with excellent rates of credit card acceptance are Party Poker, Titan Poker and Bodog.
