Echeck Poker Sites - Echeck Poker Deposit Options

Echecks have become a very popular deposit method for online poker rooms. The concept of Echecks is similar to writing a paper check. However, Echecks can come out of a savings or checking account. An Echeck takes the funds directly out of your personal bank account. Most poker rooms that offer Echeck as a deposit method also allow withdrawals to be placed directly in your bank account. Deposits made through Echecks are typically available immediately for play. However, most poker rooms require that you verify your bank account with the poker room before you are allowed to make your first Echeck deposit.

Echeck Deposits

There are quite a few Internet poker rooms that accept Echeck deposits. Within the cashier or banking structure of every poker site, the deposit methods will be listed. Select the option for Echeck and type in your personal banking information. This usually consists of the name and address for the account along with the routing number and account number. Most poker sites will require that the name on the bank account match the name on the poker account. Poker rooms that require verifications may ask additional security questions and more commonly, will make two small deposits to your bank account. These deposits are typically only a few cents. Once the deposits have been made, players are to return to the Online poker site and validate the account by typing in the amounts that were deposited. This confirms that the bank account being used belongs to you as you obviously have access to it.
