Visa Poker Deposits

Using Visa to make poker deposits online is simple; it's just like making web-based purchases. Go to your website's cashier, select Visa as your deposit option, and fill in the blanks with your billing/card information. Click to confirm and you'll be ready to play!

Yes! All major online poker rooms will let you unlock their welcome bonus opportunities when you deposit with Visa. Note that players with eWallet options may have access to additional (small) bonus opportunities.

Visa money deposits should occur instantly, though it may take anywhere from a few hours to a few days for them to verify the transaction (and allow you to cash out). Regardless, you can start playing immediately after you complete your gambling site deposit.

Yes. For Visa poker players, most gambling websites have a minimum deposit of $20 and a maximum of $1,000 per transaction. These can vary significantly but note you may be able to increase your gambling site's limit if you're a big player. Contact your poker site for more information on making real money deposits with Visa.

Yes. In fact, credit/debit cards like Visa are some of the only remaining cash deposit options that still consistently work for poker players in the US. This is one of Visa's biggest advantages.

No! Your poker site should never charge you to use your Visa to make a deposit at a real money poker room, or any other credit card for that matter.

Yes, but this may be changing. MasterCard doesn't accept them anymore and the fact that your money is coming from a gambling website may throw up some red flags.

In general, 7-10 days is the standard, but note that many players report faster withdrawals. This factor can also vary greatly from one Internet gambling site to another.

You can use your Visa anyway and it will automatically be converted. You may lose a small amount of cash if you don't get a favorable exchange rate, so try to play with sites that let you play some Texas Hold'em or Omaha with your preferred currency if possible.

Yes, your Visa information is always secure when processing transactions at web-based real money poker rooms. In order to ensure that identify theft and fraud are not possible, poker sites utilize state-of-the-art technology to protect every cash transaction you make with your Visa.

Poker sites use complex firewall and encryption technology to protect your Visa information - and cash - both during after any monetary deposits or withdrawals you make. Both the transmission of this data and any storage of your Visa card information are protected using 128-bit certificate-based encryption, which is the same standard used for transactions made by banks and other financial institutions worldwide.

The level of verification necessary to cash out will vary depending on the poker site you are playing at. However, you will frequently have to verify the details of your Visa account one more time, including the verification code on the back of your Visa card to prove that you are the card owner. At some real money gambling sites, you may also have to verify your address (usually by submitting a photocopy of a utility bill or other proof of address) and/or put a copy of a drivers license or other identification on file before you will be allowed to cash out by any method.

Visa cards do have some security features that help make them especially secure. Because you will be asked to share the security code from the back of your card when making deposits, this ensures that cash deposits can only be made by those who have the card physically present. This, along with the encryption technology used during every Visa transaction, helps make Visa deposits extremely secure.

When you are depositing money into your Internet card room account using a Visa, or if you are withdrawing funds back to a Visa account, you will need to share the appropriate card details to process these transactions. Other than in these situations, a poker site should never need to ask you for any information related to your Visa. You should not share such information online unless you are attempting to use the card to make a deposit or withdrawal.
