Deposit and Withdraw at Online Sites These Ways
ePassport, Click2Pay, will do the Job NETELLER Left Empty
The end of NETELLER’s participation with customers in the U.S. may be a blow to the convenience of online poker, but there are other ways to get money in and out of online sites.
For players who depended on NETELLER, and who use sites that also offer ePassporte, they can get their money into their bank accounts by first setting up an account with ePassporte, making a deposit at their preferred site to activate it, and then withdraw.
People who have money in their NETELLER accounts can withdraw their money to their bank accounts.
Here’s a list of four of the most popular sites and the ways they still accept deposits and withdraws from Americans in America:
PokerStars
PokerStars accepts ePassporte, Visa, MasterCard, Western Union and players can actually send checks to the site.
ePassporte is a company that issues virtual Visa cards that can be used at sites everywhere, but its processing fees are a little obnoxious. Each deposit of $100 costs $5 and it costs at least $2 to make an EFT. But to make the service more convenient, players may want to order an actual Visa card from ePassporte for an additional $35, which gives players direct access to their funds at retail locations everywhere and can be used to withdraw money from ATM machines.
As of the middle of January, ePassporte is the only option American players have at PokerStars to electronically withdraw their winnings.
Players can use their Visa and MasterCards to deposit at PokerStars, but can’t withdraw to them. PokerStars also accepts Western Union, and players can mail checks to the site.
Many players will be making friends with the mailman this year, because PokerStars can mail checks to their players. This takes 10 to 14 business days.

Full Tilt
Full Tilt also accepts ePassporte, but they have another alternative in Click2Pay.
Click2Pay charges a 3 percent processing fee if players deposit with their credit card, but if players set up direct deposit with their bank accounts, it’s free of charge. Same goes for withdrawing, and the site claims that a bank transfer takes up to three business days. Click2Pay’s customer service may be lacking, though. We tried to get a hold of them over the phone for an entire day, but the call never went through.
Doyle’s Room
ePassporte is the only service that players can use to both deposit and withdraw money at the site. Players can deposit using Visa and MasterCard, but can’t withdraw with them. Doyle’s Room will be happy to cut and mail a check.
Ultimate Bet
Ultimate Bet accepts ePassporte, Visa, MasterCard and ATMOnline. ATMOnline is another “eWallet” that players can connect top their bank accounts to make withdraws and deposits. While still servicing U.S. customers, it warns that it will probably change its policy after the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act goes into effect later this year.
Setup is free at ATMOnline. Deposit is free if using a bank account and it charges 7 percent if a credit card is used. Withdraws from sites to the ATMOnline account costs $15, but withdraws to bank accounts is free. The company charges $10 to mail checks.
