Which Deposit Methods Work for US Real Money Poker Players?

Back in the golden days, (before the UIGEA) players from the US could select from over 20 deposit methods. Now, the deposit methods are very limited. Almost all payment processors pulled out of the US market. The options now are limited to credit cards, prepaid Visa, Western Union, Moneygram, and some sites accept personal checks.

Visa Card

Visa cards are accepted at all United States online poker rooms. This is our number one option for depositing funds into your account. Visa has a higher acceptance rate than any other credit card.

 

---

Mastercard

Most online poker sites accept Mastercard. However, US players will find that the acceptance rate is not nearly as good as the Visa. Many times players will receive an error stating the card was unable to be processed due to regulations.

Western Union Poker

This is a good option for players who are having difficulties getting their credit card deposits approved. The only problem with Western Union deposits is that Western Union tends to charge large fees. When depositing with Western Union you can choose from the Western Union website or you can visit a Western Union agent.

 

---

Moneygram Poker

This is another deposit option for US players that is accepted at most online poker rooms. This is similar to Western Union except Moneygram has a flat fee of $9.99. You can either go to the online Moneygram website or visit an agent to initiate your deposit. If you are using the website the process only takes a few minutes.

Is it Legal to Play Online Poker in the US?

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is “Is it legal to play poker in the US?” The simple answer is yes, but we will go into this further. Players also want to know which rooms are safe to play at, which rooms accept players from the US, and where they can get the biggest bonuses.

We have done a lot of research so that we can provide accurate answers to all of these questions for you. We are here to make sure that you find the best US facing poker sites and the best bonuses.

Many people believe that it is illegal to play poker in the US, but this is a false assumption. Some states have made it illegal, but it is only illegal in the states that have passed laws against it. The passing of the UIGEA in 2006 has made it more difficult for players from the US to play online poker, but it did not make it illegal. As a matter of fact, many states are now introducing legislation to legalize online poker.

What is the UIGEA?

The UIGEA is an Act that was placed on the back of the Port Security Act. Immediately following this several online poker rooms pulled out of the US market. The UIGEA made it illegal for US banks to process a payment to a gambling site. It did not make it illegal for players from the US to play online poker which is a common misconception.

There are still some great online poker rooms that are accepting players from the United States. Fortunately, these sites have set up easy deposit methods for US players. The deposit options are very limited compared to pre-UIGEA days, but most US players should have no problems funding their account.
