"I want to play online poker using my
checking account. What are my options?"
Despite the constant restructuring of
online poker's payment processors, there are at least a couple of
options remaining for eCheck poker deposits. Most poker sites are
working towards accepting eCheck poker deposits in the future but
the selection is currently limited. Still, players with only a
checking account do have poker site options, which are listed below.
E-checks are essentially electronic
checks processed by the poker room. By providing your account and
routing numbers through the poker room cashier, funds are processed
through the ACH network and debited from your existing checking
account within 7-10 days. Players are able to use their eCheck
deposits immediately. For players without a credit card or other
e-wallet account, eCheck poker is one of the most convenient deposit
options.
Advantages of eCheck Poker Deposits:
Available to all US players.
No need for a separate e-wallet. Virtually every player has a
personal checking account. With eCheck poker deposits you only need
to provide existing banking details.
Instant processing. eChecks are processed through the poker cashier
immediately without verification delays.
No fees. Most third-party e-wallets charge absurd fees for
depositing and withdrawing. Poker rooms that accept eChecks
typically don't charge any additional fees.
Better cashouts. Most eCheck deposits can also be cashed out
directly back to your checking account, avoiding excessive paper
check delays and bank hassles.
Disadvantages:
Availability is very limited.
Cashouts have to wait until eCheck clears 7-10 days later.
