Poker Online Payment Solutions - Result 1- 5 of 4 listings
1. ePassporte |
|
Despite some of the grumbling you'll find on Internet poker forums, online payment options for poker players don't get much better than ePassporte. The payment processor allows its clients to make purchases or deposit money online anywhere Visa is accepted.
A majority of the industry's poker rooms turn to ePassporte as an online payment solution. By signing up for an account with the company you will be able to instantly deposit cash but will be subject to a $300 daily transfer limit with a standard account.
This might be a pain for those dabbling in higher-stakes poker, however, players can upgrade their status for a $600 daily transfer limit for $5 if they have two verified load options or have been a member for three months.
Online players complain that the business can be slow and somewhat pricy - its fee is 2%-5% on the deposited amount - but most admit that it is the best way for beleaguered poker enthusiasts to access online play.
This payment option is favored by U.S. poker players but is recommended as a great option for all online poker players looking for a safe and secure method to manage their bankrolls online.
Hits
- Ranked as a top deposit option
- Players can deposit or withdraw anywhere Visa is accepted
2. Pre-paid Gift Cards |
|
These cards are pre-paid and reloadable but can only be used for the amount deposited onto the card. It can be used as many times as the purchaser wants for up to a year, with each withdrawal deducted from the card.
Though the idea for the cards are for giving away as gifts, poker players are known to purchase the pseudo charge cards for prices in the $5.95 per $25 to $250, or $7.95 for denominations in the $251 to $500 ballpark. This online payment solution compares favorably with other payment processing service fees.
In addition, there is no limit on how many you can purchase, so higher-stakes players who want to make immediate deposits can purchase several at once, drop the cash at the poker room of their choice and hit the felt.
A good example of this payment option is the Visa DeluxeCard.
Hits
- Can be used repeatedly over the course of one year
- Service fees are comparable to other payment processing fees
- No limit on how many cards can be purchased
3. Debit MasterCard |
|
Though withdrawing is something of a concern using this method, many players recommend using a debit card from your bank account to deposit at an online poker room. When it comes time to cash, though, have the poker room mail you a check directly.
Most major sites will accept the Debit MasterCard as a preferred method of online payment. It’s especially convenient because while it works like a traditional credit card, money can be accessed directly from the player’s personal bank account.
The downside to this method is that cards are sometimes inexplicably denied.
The Debit MasterCard is available in three different forms: the Standard Card, the Gold Card and the Platinum Card. Each card comes with a selection of benefits which are determined according to the card holder’s personal record and by the financial institution issuing the card.

- Money is withdrawn directly from bank account by poker room
- Accepted by most major poker rooms
- Convenient way to deposit and play at sites
- Have three choices of card, each comes with benefits
4. Visa Check Card |
|
As with the Debit MasterCard, the Visa Check Card allows players to deposit money into their poker room account directly from their bank account, and it is recommended that players ask the poker room to mail them a check directly when wishing to withdraw.
The downside is also the same – the card can be denied by the poker room for no apparent reason.
The Visa Check Card comes with a host of benefits as well as an Extras program where players can earn points for each dollar spent on select purchases.
