Payment Methods
All online poker rooms offer you a variety of safe and confidential
options for depositing money into your Real Player account.
Credit Cards
Almost all poker rooms accept Visa and MasterCard, but some banks
prohibit their cardholders from making transactions with online poker
rooms. Moreover, some credit card companies themselves place
restrictions on the amount of money you can deposit into and withdraw
from the poker room. For this reason, we recommend that you open an
alternative payment method for your transactions; even better, most
poker rooms will reward you for doing so.

FirePay is a payment method similar to a debit or credit card
in that you deposit funds into your account in order to transfer funds
online. FirePay offers e-mail confirmation of purchases and online
account activity statements. You can fund your account either directly
from your bank account or via ACH or “E-Checks,” both of which require a
U.S. bank account.
Moneybookers is a tool that allows players to safely send and
receive money via email— instantly. Players can fund their account via
CC or Wire and then deposit into the poker room. Moneybookers saves time
and hassle—payments are sent/ received in real time which eliminates
long time delays, plus all you need to make or receive a payment is your

EcoCard is an alternative purchasing method which is used
widely throughout Europe. EcoCard, in conjunction with its affiliated
European banks, allows you to purchase poker room credits in U.S.
dollars, Euros, and Pounds Sterling.
Wire Transfers—you do not have to open an account with a
third-party intermediary. Wire transfers are accepted at most online
poker rooms in U.S. dollars only. When executing a transfer, you will
need to provide your account details and your player code, which may be
found in the Wire Transfer instructions of the Cashier section of each
online poker room.
Bank Drafts and personal checks can be mailed directly to an
online poker room for deposit. Most poker rooms will cover all shipping
costs for a bank draft that is sent to the poker room via Fedex, TNT,
UPS or DHL. After the check is received the poker room will add the
shipping cost back onto your account.
900 Pay is a new payment method that lets you deposit from
$75-$150 into your poker room account and have the money charged to your
phone bill. Their website is:

required to use 900 Pay, and there are no hidden fees or long-distance
charges. Withdrawals are issued in the form of bank drafts.

statement. INSTADEBIT never shares your personal information with
merchants, and you will not be asked for your credit card number.
