eCheck Poker Sites

Known as eChecks, electronic checks are a paperless version of a check one would write from their personal bank account. These eChecks can be used to pay bills, purchase items, and to deposit to online poker accounts. eChecks are among the few options that are readily available to poker players residing in the USA. When a player deposits to an eCheck poker site, the deposit is usually instantaneous. This means a player may play poker at an eCheck poker site almost immediately after they submit the eCheck for deposit.

In order to make a payment to eCheck poker sites, a player must have a checking account. Players can establish a checking account at most local banks, credit unions, or financial institutions. If planning to open a checking account for the purposes of playing online poker, be certain to verify that your bank supports or allows payments by eChecks. Most banks permit eCheck writing.

e-Checks electronically transfer money from bank account to payment point, which in this case is one of the many eCheck poker sites. The poker site accepting the eCheck will need certain information so they can process the deposit. Typically, the money is available immediately in the player's poker account; however, the eCheck often takes five to seven business days to clear or be processed from the customer's bank account. This is because the eCheck is accepted in good faith. As is the case with writing paper checks, the eCheck is a promise to deliver the amount of money the eCheck is made out for to the payee. Thus, players should ensure they have sufficient funds in their checking account to cover the eCheck when it is processed.

How to Deposit at eCheck Poker Sites
To deposit at poker sites using the eCheck, the poker player must go to the poker room's cashier. Once in the cashier screen, the player should select the deposit menu. Then, the player should select eCheck as the desired method of deposit. In order to initiate the eCheck deposit, the player is required to provide information relating to the bank account in which the eCheck will be written against.

Information Needed to Deposit at eCheck Poker Sites
Poker players depositing to poker sites using eChecks must first provide their bank account's routing number. The bank's routing number is nine digits long. This number can be found by contacting your bank or it can be found on the bottom of your check. The routing number is nine digits in length and is the first nine numbers of the series of numbers on the bottom of the check, starting from the left. Their may be symbols before and after the routing numbers. These symbols should be ignored for the purposes of providing the bank account's routing number.

Next, the poker player will need to provide their checking account number when depositing by eChecks to a poker site. The checking account number is the next set of numbers at the bottom of the paper check. In addition to the account number and the routing number, a player will need to provide additional information, such as a social security number or other number for identification purposes (such as a government issued ID number like those found on driver's licenses or passports). An eCheck depositing poker player may also be required to verify their date of birth and to provide their telephone number or even verify their address. Once this information is provided, the player should then enter the amount they wish to make the eCheck out for. Again, players should ensure there is sufficient money in their checking account to cover the eCheck when it is written.

Upon providing the necessary information, a player can submit their eCheck for payment. Most eCheck poker sites will instantly credit the player's account, at which time the poker player may participate in the real money poker games that are available at their eCheck poker sites.

When depositing at eCheck poker sites, players will need a checking account, so the check can be written, submitted, and processed electronically. By using an eCheck, players can fund their online poker accounts using electronic checks. eChecks are a safe and convenient way to deposit to online poker sites.
