For
most players who have played
poker online from
the United States you will
have more than likely experienced
difficulty in being able
to deposit to your account,
either through your credit
card or by another means.
The reason behind this is
because of the laws which
were put in place when the
UIGEA was passed in 2006.
The current law restricte
US banks and financial institutions
from being able to process
gambling transactions to
and from the players. Fortunately
there are still a number
of options available for
you to use. This page provides
a complete list of all the
current US deposit methods
available for poker and
casino players. Although
this list is limited to
a handful of methods, USA
players shouldn’t
have too many issues finding
a source to fund their ewallet
account. If a new payment
processor becomes available
we will update this page
accordingly.
Deposit Options for USA
Players
US
poker sites accepting
credit cards are often a
hit and miss issue. Due
to the current laws in place,
banks are supposed to block
players from being able
to deposit using their US
credit cards. That being
said there are still a few
online casinos and poker
rooms who do accept this
form of payment, and depending
on which room you choose
to play on will vary on
its success rate.
UseMyWallet
poker sites are easy to come by and
most online gambling rooms
accept UseMyWallet. You may find some sites do not display the UseMyWallet logo.
Often in place of this you will see the QuickTender logo which is the same thing.
UseMyWallet provides players with the ability to deposit and withdrawal from
their accounts quickly and easily. You will be required to set up an ewallet
account before you can begin using the account to deposit however this process
is relatively painless and can usually be accomplished within a few minutes
at best.
eWalletXpress
poker sites are widely available and
another easy to use payment
method for US players to
fund their poker and casino
account. eWalletXpress provides
various methods for funding
accounts with the most convenient
being the Xpress Service.
Players will pay fees on
withdrawals.
Poker
sites accepting instant
checks is still quite limited
in the number that actually
provide this service, however
it is by far one of the
most convenient for two
reasons – players will not pay any fees, and the deposit is instant.
eChecks are 100% secure and process in the same manner as your paper checks.
PIC-Club is a new payment option
for USA players who need
a payment solution to deposit
online. PIC-Club accepts
a wide variety of payment
plans for players to fund
this ewallet including Money
Gram and Wire Transfer.
If you are planning on using
this method we recommend
you read our PIC-Club review
to find the sites currently
supporting this payment
and information required
from you before you can
begin using your account.
Western
Union poker payments provide you with the ability
to fund your account almost
instantly either by visiting
a Western Union dealer and
completing the application,
or sending it through the
company’s website. Although this
method is secure and convenient to use the fees are considerably higher than
the other ewallets listed on this page. |
