Deposit advise for ACR needed please

[PHillyPHever]

i am going to make my first deposit on America's Cardroom. I was wondering about the different ways this is possible.
Can I use a U.S. credit card?
Is there a minimum amount?
Do they have a set charge like an ATM would do?
Do they have a charge that is higher if the deposit is higher?
Is there a lag time that you need to wait before you can play the deposited funds?
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

I've deposited using a debit card and money gram. With my debit card it took about 2 minutes to make the transaction and the money was in my account immediately with no additional fees. With money gram it costs 5.00 dollars and it took about 4 to 6 hours before the money showed up in my account. I'm sticking with debit card in the future but I hope I never have to deposit again.

Hi,you should really consider using Bitcoin, it is surprisingly efficient. The deposits are completed within an hour and it takes between 1-4 days to complete withdrawals (once the site has processed the withdrawal). Btw once you deposit, the funds are immediately accessible and this is true for most deposit methods.

I'm also ready to make my first deposit on ACR, & would like to do so using bitcoin...do you have a trusted link where I may purchase bitcoins?

I deposited using my credit card and yes there was an extra charge. I deposited $200 but my credit card was charged $210. Plus when I went into my credit card account I was surprised to find a foreign transaction fee of $6. On the upside, the money was immediately available to play. See if there's a deposit bonus where they match your deposit. As you play, you release the bonus, but it expires in 60 days. Also they have a first deposit promotion of 20 days free jackpot play. I lost mine because I didn't know where to find it. and you get 4 entries into the Saturday $250 first deposit freeroll, but you have to call support to get registered. Good luck on the felt.

I've used Coinbase. You slowly have to grind up to bigger buying limits, but after you buy like $200 total, you'll get your limit increased to $300 per daily transaction.

Can I use a U.S. credit card?

Yes, as long as your card works for international transactions. You may use VISA or MC

Is there a minimum amount?

Credit Cards:
As a first time depositor, the system will allow you to deposit $25 as minimum. However, after the first deposit, your minimum will be $47.

BitCoin:
Using BitCoin the minimum will always be $10

Person to Person dep:
Min $50

Do they have a set charge like an ATM would do?

We do not charge extra fees for depositing but your finantial institution does when making an international transaction, the amount may vary and that depends in your bank and the location you are sending money to

Using BitCoin, the cheapest way to fund your account. With the exception of the miniscule “miner’s fee,” there are no transaction fees whatsoever.

With person to person you do have to pay a fee and that depends on MG or WU. We will credit the fee you paid, depending on the amount sent. VERY IMPORTANT: Check with CS the min deposits to get the fees credited


Is there a lag time that you need to wait before you can play the deposited funds?


Nop, the time that the money takes to get credited will depend on the confirmation period depending on the method you use.

CC: inmediate
BitCoin: From 1-20 minutes
Person to Person: From 30-45 minutes

Thanks...I went to that Electrum Bitcoin site & a few other's but became Leary...how much U.S. Dollars would $30 buy me in Bitcoin for the rooms? I want to purchase the bare minimum in order to deposit the bare minimum for ACR, which is $25. All feedback, prior & forthcoming, is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.
