Following the UIEGA legislation being passed, it has become more
challenging for United States poker players to make deposits into their online
poker accounts. The Poker Deposit Guide will lay out where a U.S.
citizen can play online poker as well as each room's best deposit
options, and how to make each one work for you.

A few rooms, such as PokerStars, still allows their
players to send money via Money Orders or Cashier's Checks. It isn't
the fastest way of getting your money onto your poker account, but it
is secure, and does not require you to sign up with a third party
provider. PokerStars does require you to email them in order to set up
who you should make the money orders out to and where to send the
payment. |

Bodog is one of the only rooms around that still allow
you to deposit using an instant eCheck. All you have to do is register
your personal bank account with BodogLife and you will be able to
transfer funds to and from your BodogLife account as much as you want.
The funds are available in your account immediately. This is,
hands down, the easiest and cheapest way to make a deposit into an
online poker account. PokerStars has recently introduced the
Instant eCheck, but it is only available to a limited
number of customers. |

online poker sites. However, there are a number of debit cards that
continue to work. If you have a debit card, then this should be your
first option when it comes to making your first deposit. It is quick,
and the money comes directly out of your bank account with out having
to sign up with a third party provider. |
