US Poker Deposit Options
Since the passing of the UIGEA it has become much more difficult to make a deposit to a gambling site from the United States of America. The options seem to change every month, and we will do our best to keep you updated on the latest available methods. Currently here are the accepted deposit methods for Americans as of June 17, 2008:
Credit Cards - The most common method used to deposit online, though many US credit card companies have blocked specific sites. Most of the sites listed here have good success rates. (Offered by Bodog, PokerStars.com, Sportsbook.com)
eChecks / Instant Check - Allows you to deposit money straight from your USA chequing account. Just copy the numbers off the bottom of a check and the money will be transferred to your account within around 5 minutes. (Offered by PokerStars.com and Sportsbook.com)
eWalletXpress - This is an ewallet just like neteller that allows you to transfer funds directly from your eWalletXpress account to your Poker account. The funds will be transferred immediately. (Offered by Bodog)
Wire Transfer - Few poker sites offer this option to Americans, but some sites allow you to wire money from your account to your poker account.
