Instant
Checks, which is also known
as eChecks is one of the
easiest payment options
for poker players from the
USA. This method is not
only 100% secure but allow
you to deposit from your
bank account to your player
account instantly without
the hassles of creating
additional accounts, setting
up another payment processor
and best of all you will
not pay any extra fees or
surcharges when funding
your account using an eCheck.
Currently there are only
a handful of poker sites
/ casino sites supporting
this method, and we have
listed them below. This
page will be updated when
more poker rooms accept
eChecks.
How do I use Instant Checks
and are they safe?
Instant Checks are simply
checks written by you and
processed electronically.
The process works the same
as writing a paper check
from your US bank account
and goes through the same
security steps. Each eCheck
is enhanced with security
features such as digital
fingerprints, identification
process and encryption.
Once you write an eCheck
from the poker room, the
site will send it off to
be processed by your bank.
This step usually takes
2 – 5 business days, however
because it is an instant check you will have access to your funds immediately.
This is one of the main reasons US players are favouring this payment processor
over the others currently available.
Depositing with eChecks
To make a deposit using
an eCheck simply login to
your player account and
select the eCheck option.
From here the poker or casino
site will ask you for specifics
on your USA bank account.
You will need to provide
them with your account number,
bank or financial institution
name and address in addition
to your institution number.
These are the same details
that are printed on your
checks. The poker room will
also request some form of
personal identification
such as passport, drivers
license and/or social security
number. The purpose for
this is to ensure not only
the poker room from fraudulent
checks, but each eCheck
you write will require you
to enter the numbers from
the ID you provide. Once
you are set up to use instant
checks you will have some
restrictions as to the number
of checks you can write
during a certain time frame.
Once you have developed
a solid relationship with
the company, these limits
will increase.
