PICclub Poker

Filling in the need for a unified e-wallet service, the PICclub poker service has been gaining popularity as it is one of the only deposit options still available to US players. With the dissolution of several excellent e-wallets such as NETeller and ePassporte following the corrupt UIGEA legislation, US players needed an easy method to deposit at poker rooms lacking eChecks or built-in services. While the PIC-club poker service is currently only offered at a handful of poker rooms, players have had extremely positive experiences thus far. If PICclub expands their number of supported poker rooms it could easily become a popular deposit option for US players.

The PIC-Club poker deposit service essentially works just like a traditional e-wallet, albeit with a few unique quirks. Deposit options are numerous and include any Visa, Mastercard, or other major credit card. PICClub also accepts direct US checking account deposits through their online cashier. Traditional methods such as wire transfers, MoneyGram, and money orders can also be used if you're unable to deposit online. The PIC-Club poker deposit method has reasonable credit card deposit fees at around 6-7% and allows deposits up to $250 per day ($500 per week) without credit card authorization. These limits can be lifted after 30 days if an authorization form is submitted. All deposits are available for immediate use.

What's unique about PIC-Club poker (and what supposedly helps it to retain its legal status) is that every player contributes to a "Common Shares Account", which almost feels like a forced savings account. With each deposit, $1 will be deducted from your total amount and held in the Shares Account. This is a separate account that can earn miniscule amounts of interest and cannot be used to play poker with.

PIC-Club poker withdrawals are free if you only require standard checks. However, if you're withdrawing more than a few hundred dollar I would recommend paying the $25 Fedex courier fee. This will enable you a tracking number, if necessary, and allow you to receive your PICClub payment in days rather than weeks.

Ultimately, the PIC-Club poker service could certainly become a dominant force in the industry if more sites supported it. The customer service is certainly above average, withdrawals are processed promptly, and a number of deposit methods are supported. The largest poker room currently supporting PICClub is Doyle's Room with most Merge sites also offering the service. Below you'll find all our top choices for PIC-Club poker deposits.
