USA Banking Options Becoming Scarce

May 18th, 2011 Comments off

We are in turbulent times when it comes to playing online poker from the US. We have been informed that a great processor, UseMyWallet, is now having difficulties processing withdraws to USA residents. They ensure us that funds are safe, and withdraws will be processed in the near future.

With that said, until they confirm funds can be withdrawn we can no longer recommend using them as a banking option. We highly recommend you choose an online poker site that allows Western Union or Money Gram withdraws. These options will never go away, it’s just to bad they are so expensive!

Of the poker sites we recommend that accept Western Union some also allow withdraws by this method. Choose a good Western Union poker site like PokerHost. We can’t say enough about PokerHost, as they are a class act. If you do not already have an account at PokerHost check out our PokerHost Review and receive a 150% match sign up bonus up to $750 by using our link. They have great site traffic, a bad beat jackpot and other great features like Deal it Twice and Rabbit Hunting.

Another Western Union poker site we recommend is Bodog. Bodog being licensed in Antigua will never go away. They accept Western Union deposits and withdraws so your funds will always be readily available. Bodog also offers a unique bonus in that they match your deposit by 110%. At Bodog you get 10% of your deposit in cash and the remaining in your pending bonus account. Check out the BodogPoker Review for full details.

One more site we can recommend is Intertops. Intertops accepts a variety of deposit options but has a unique withdraw method, prepaid Visa cards. When you use this option you are sent a Visa gift card that can used for purchases or you can make a cash withdraw at the ATM. Intertops Poker operates on the Cake Poker Network and offers a 110% bonus up to $600. Intertops also operates a full service sportsbook and casino and have been accepting wagers since 1983! They were actually the first to accept a wager online. Check out the Intertops Poker Review for more details on the is great site.

Stay tuned here at UltimatePokerBonus, the USA online poker portal for latest news and updates. We are confident these troubled times will pass and we can all get back to doing what we love, playing online poker. Just be sure to keep up to date here in our news section and only play at the sites we recommend.

New Deposit Option – MoneyLineWallet

May 3rd, 2011 Comments off

If your having trouble making a deposit, check out MoneyLineWallet. MoneyLineWallet is an ewallet that allows you to deposit to your account with an eCheck and then transfer the funds to your poker account. The funds are available immediately after deposit to play poker with.

While we have used this deposit option in the past, we never posted about it because so few USA poker sites had this deposit option available. However after recent events, and deposits have become harder to get approved, we felt we should share this information.

You must create a MoneyLineWallet account through the cashier page of the poker site. After doing so you can deposit to your MoneyLineWallet account directly from your checking account and immediately transfer the funds to the poker room. It is very easy to use and always approved if you stay within the deposit limits.

See more information for MoneyLineWallet and the poker sites that offer this deposit method. You can also find all USA Deposit Options including other eWallets and poker sites where USA credit cards really work.

Cake Poker now Accepting eCheck Deposits

March 11th, 2011 Comments off

Cake Poker has now joined some of the elite USA online poker sites by offering instant echecks as a deposit method. Instant echecks are by far the best way to deposit to poker sites for USA residents.

Now fund you Cake Poker account using an echeck. Echecks allow you to deposit to your poker account directly from your checking account. They are fast, free and the funds are available immediately for use to play poker with.

To deposit, visit the cashier and click instant echeck. You then enter your checking account information and your deposit is approved. The echeck then clears your checking account within 2-5 business days.

Cake Poker is the flagship room on the Cake Poker Network. They offer a $600 bonus and have a great loyalty program. A main benefit for playing at Cake is the inexperienced players. The site is very fishy and the competition weak.

For more information see our Cake Poker Review or see here for full the Cake Poker Bonus details. Deposit with an echeck, it really is our favorite way to deposit and we highly recommend it. Also see the full listing of poker sites that accept echecks.

Quick Deposit Instant eChecks

February 10th, 2011 Comments off

Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet have changed their eCheck processor to Quick Deposit. They now use the same processor as the USA online poker giant FullTilt.

We feel this is a good move for AP and UB as Quick Deposit is a premier processor. The process of making a deposit by eCheck becomes even easier and the eCheck limits are raised with the move. This also allows withdraws by eCheck that are back in your account generally within 3 business days.

Have we stated many times, eChecks are the best way for USA residents to deposit to poker sites. They are free of charge, fast, easy and the funds are available immediately for use.

See a full listing of poker sites that accept eChecks and start playing online poker today.

Instant eChecks – the Best Way to Deposit

January 19th, 2011 Comments off

If anyone is having trouble depositing to USA online poker sites, you really need to use the eCheck deposit option available at some of the best sites.

Instant eChecks allow you to deposit to poker sites directly from your personal checking account. We basically only use this option we like it so much. We have never had a problem with eChecks and we have used them hundreds of times.

With eChecks your deposit is always approved as long as you stay within the deposit limit guidelines and they are free. Why tie up your credit cards and pay interest, or pay the crazy fee’s associated with cash transfers?

We have used eChecks at every poker site we recommend and can’t be happier with the transactions. In many cases you can also withdraw by eChecks and the funds are put directly back into your checking account within 5 business days. Withdraws by this method are also free!

See our full listing of poker sites that accept eChecks and get your deposit approved. Don’t sit the sidelines because your credit card won’t work or you don’t want pay the hefty fee’s with cash transfers – use an eCheck!

January 17th, 2011 Comments off

Get Your Deposit Approved

December 18th, 2010 Comments off

If you reside in the US it can become frustrating getting your deposits approved to US poker sites. If you find yourself in this situation be sure check out some deposit methods other than credit cards.

Our most popular deposit method is by eCheck. Instant eChecks allow to deposit to USA poker sites directly from your personal checking account. You simply enter your checking account information at the cashier and the funds will be taken directly out of your checking account. It is just like paying a bill online with your checking account.

Instant eChecks are safe, reliable and always approved as long as you stay within the deposit limits. We use this method all the time and have never had a problem. You can expect the funds to clear your checking account in 2-3 business days, but the funds are available in your poker account instantly.

We highly recommend Ultimate Bet for depositing with an eCheck. They also offer a great sign up bonus of 111% match up to $1100. See all poker sites that accept echecks and get your deposit approved.

If you must use a credit card to deposit, also see our USA Credit Cards page for a listing of poker sites where credit cards really work. Another great alternative is UseMyWallet where you can deposit to your UseMyWallet account with a credit card and transfer the funds to your poker account. UseMyWallet also allows deposit with eChecks, but you must wait 5 business days for your first deposit by eCheck to clear before the funds are available. Subsequent deposits are available instantly.
