Instant Checks also referred to as eChecks is one of the recent methods being added to poker and casino rooms to allow players to have the convenience to deposit instantly without having to wait days for funds to clear their bank accounts. It’s very easy to use and further 100% safe and secure, since these checks have security features exactly like the checks you would write from your check book.
An eCheck is a paper check that is processed online. It works the exact same way and entails the same security features. The difference between the eCheck and your regular checks is there is no physical paper copy, everything is processed electronically. You will not have to worry about safety issues. The Instant check includes digital signatures and encryption that will prevent them from ever being used by anyone but you.
Poker rooms accepting Instant Checks is still quite limited and as of to date only a few of the major networks support this. We have listed those who do below this review. To set up your poker account to use eChecks you will need to go to the cashier and choose the eCheck logo. From here the poker room will ask you for your personal details including driver’s license or social security number. The poker room requests this information for two reasons
- To keep you safe from anyone being able to use your account for echecks. Each time you make a deposit
using this method you will need to provide the last 5 digits of your social security number.
- To keep the poker room safe from fraud. The poker room is allowing players to essentially have
cash up front to fund their accounts and in case a player decides to abuse the account by writing
checks that will be returned by the bank marked NSF.
Once your information has been entered you can make your first deposit. Players who are using eChecks for the first time will have restrictions placed on their accounts until the poker or casino room knows that the bank account is in the clear. Once you have had at least two transactions process without any problems they will increase the number of times you can deposit and the amount that will be available for each request.
