Ok I have had enough of trying to deposit into these sites. I started a thread last month wit the frustration of trying to deposit.

Yesterday I tried making a deposit through money gram, three times it failed and I was under the impression they would refund my fees after I had deposited.


I tried once more with western union and that failed also but they refunded that fee back to me.


I contact support today and they won't refund the money gram until I make a deposit of a 100$


Plus they won't accept a card to deposit. If I knew this then I wouldn't have bothered trying to deposit with money gram in the first place.


And the first time I tried to deposit granted was a mistake on my part, but the other two times it should have gone through fine.


Rant over.

I think pigeon would be a faster more reliable way of depositing, but knowing my luck in regard to depositing the pigeon would get hit by a semi.

The only way I'm now able to deposit is bitcoin, and that's not a viable option. It's so stupid. I'm from the UK and I used to play on stars and it would take two minutes to deposit.

Take a look at Americas CardRoom if you haven't already.
They take US players, ....$25 minimum deposit, you can use visa debit card...... And....they have a great promotion running right now.

just an option if you haven't looked at it.

Thanks, that's the one I tried though, poker host, it's the same site but with a different skin or whatever. Thanks for the advice though, I appreciate it.

I have done deposits via MG and WU with no issues. They refund you the fees for deposits amount of at least $100 (MG) and $300 (WU). You just have to follow their instructions.

There are 3 main WPN skins - Americas Cardroom, Black Chip Poker and True Poker.

If it is America's Card Room the site you tried maybe you can get some help via the Cardchat Rep.

Cardchat has an ACR Rep that helps our members with any issues they may have thread is linked below.

The first deposit I made a mistake on the name and it wouldn't go through which I understand was my fault. I spoke to the rep and he said to send another one and it will be fine. So that was the second, and they wouldn't accept it. He said to try it again and would refund the cancellation fees, tried it again and the third time it wouldn't work.

The fourth time (this is ridiculous now) I used western union and that wouldn't get through but the guy was really nice and he refunded that fee to me.

It's kind of strange really.

Okay, I will try there, thanks again for the help.

You were able to find a Visa card that can be used at ACR? There are a lot of US players who would love to know which card and bank it is issued from and how to obtain one.

That question was meant for Robmrjet. If he knows how to get a hold of a Visa card (pre-paid maybe), it would make your life, my life, and a whole bunch of other US player lives so much simpler.

Yeah I know who it was meant for, I was just agreeing with you with that not being an option either. It's so stupid, online poker being illegal, or the means to transfer money into your account being illegal.

Like I was saying about being back in the UK, it was a straightforward painless experience. Here it's like trying to pull teeth with a spoon. I don't understand it at all.

There's prepaid cards locally. But I don't think they would work either? I'm too scared to try anymore because it costs every time I try to deposit.

I totally agree how stupid it is. In some States it is a felony, some it is legal (New Jersey, Nevada, Delaware, and very soon Pennsylvania). The US Federal government just needs to pull the trigger on this thing and sanction it -- after all, aren't we supposed to be a Global community now?

Well, my deposits failed a few times but never have I heard of a 'fee'. No transaction - no commission.

Well I've ran my roll up to almost 40 off 5 tourny bucks, but I'm not sure if it's worth continuing because I will need to deposit to withdraw,,

Which one of the Skins you using?


Look at you deposit options and see what's available you might have to go the route of Cryptocurrency.


Check and see if you can withdraw without depositing sometimes on WPN you can withdraw to Cryptocurrency without depositing.


Alternative method is you should be able to P2P funds to other players. Confirm with their support that you can and find a trading partner.

If you're having difficulty depositing elsewhere you can try Global Poker, no 'deposit' issues there.
