Amex Poker Sites - American Express Poker Deposit Options

The majority of online poker sites accept credit cards as a poker deposit option. Most of these poker sites only accept Visa and MasterCard credit/debit cards. However, there are a few online poker sites that accept the slightly more prestigious American Express (Amex) credit card. Generally, the credit requirements for players to obtain an American Express card are significantly higher than for Visa or MasterCard. Credit/debit cards are one of the simplest methods for players to directly fund their online poker accounts.

Making an Amex Poker Deposit

The online poker sites that offer Amex as a deposit method will have it listed in the cashier of the poker client (software). Players will need to select the Amex option and provide the required information. The first time using the Amex card to make a deposit at the site will require the cardholder's name, billing address, card number, expiration date, security code off the back and the desired deposit amount. Future deposits may only require the security code and deposit amount if the poker client saves the payment information.

U.S. citizens tend to worry about using their credit cards online for online poker due to the 2025 U.S. UIGEA legislation that banned banks from processing online gambling affiliated transactions. However, most online poker sites have moved to using third-party payment processors that avoid the online gambling transaction affiliation. These payment processors have been tested and proven to accept the majority of Amex cards. The minimum deposit requirement using an American Express card at most online poker sites is between $10 and $50. The maximum deposit requirement will depend on the site and often, the player's VIP (loyalty program) level.
