Depositing into Poker Accounts
This is a guide used for casino poker deposit options in the US. These ewallets are accepted among most countries including the USA. To get started immediately we recommend BetOnline Poker which has poker, casino and other games with an extremely high credit card success rate.
Full Service Ewallets for Poker
These services generally require verification and take a few days to get squared away. They are used by players who play a lot of online poker. Read above if you just want to deposit quickly.
PicClub – Works like an ewallet but only a couple gambling sites accept it. I’ve used it and it’s not bad, just limited options on where you can use it.
MyPayLinq – Full service ewallet that works similar to Paypal and Neteller. Unlike paypal and neteller, mypaylinq is US friendly.
Alternative Deposit Options
Poker eChecks – Please read review for accepted sites. Offered on and off at certain sites.
Echeck Casinos – Rare but accepted at a few US casinos and non US casinos
Rapid Transfer – Uses Moneygram type service for almost instant deposit and withdraws. Involves a 3rd party location for deposits and money pickups.
Western Union – Some poker sites are allowing this option along with Moneygram
American Express Poker – Only sites to use this deposit option are BetOnline.ag and SportsBetting.ag (poker site) which are listed below.

Why So Difficult to Deposit
The good ‘ol USA has made it difficult to deposit at poker sites, casinos and sportsbooks located overseas because of something called the UIGEA. This made it illegal for offshore companies to take money from customers located in the United States. Because licenses are only handed out by the US government, they only give them to those in America. It’s a tactic that has involved the Trade Organization because these practices are illegal, and are the main reason you have problems depositing to make bets on the internet.
While these sites may accept users from all countries it is up to the player to determine if online gambling is illegal in their area. If so, it is not advised to gamble online. Compatiblepoker is not responsible for players gambling illegally.
