Pokerstars Us Deposit Options

A PokerStars eCheck is an electronic check which allows you to make safe, secure and immediate electronic fund transfers (EFT) directly from your bank account to your poker account.

PokerStars eChecks work the same way paper checks do. When you deposit using an eCheck, the amount of your deposit is requested from your bank just like when a paper check you've written is deposited. Once the check clears, the funds are transferred from your bank account to your poker account.

What are the deposit limits for eChecks?

If you have not made a previous eCheck deposit, the starting eCheck deposit limits are:

• US $25 - minimum purchase
• US $100 - maximum amount to purchase within 24 hours
• US $300 - maximum amount to purchase within 7 days
• US $600 - maximum amount to purchase within 30 days
• There is a limit of one (1) eCheck deposit allowed within 48 hour period

NOTE: Once your first eCheck deposit successfully clears your bank 10 days after your deposit request, your eCheck deposit limits will be automatically raised to the following:

• US $25 - minimum purchase
• US $600 - maximum amount to purchase within 24 hours
• US $1,000 - maximum amount to purchase within 7 days
• US $2,000 - maximum amount to purchase within 30 days
• There is a limit of four (4) eCheck deposits allowed within 24 hour period

If you would like to receive an increase in your PokerStars deposit limits, after you've had your starting limits raised automatically, please email PokerStars at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Using Visa and MasterCard Credit Cards or ATM/Debit Cards to deposit money at PokerStars is a hit and miss proposition for Pokerstars' US players. Many banks, especially the larger multi-state banks, will automatically decline any attempted transactions to or from PokerStars.com.

Some players have expressed that they have no problems using their local bank cards and credit cards. Players can only know by attempting to use this option.

Currently the purchase limits for Visa and MasterCard are:

• US $10 - minimum purchase
• US $600 - maximum amount to purchase within 24 hours
• US $1,500 - maximum amount to purchase within 7 days
• US $2,000 - maximum amount to purchase within 30 days

Some sites accept Bank Drafts, Cashier’s Checks and International Money Orders. This will usually be listed on their deposit page. When available make sure that your bank drafts (official bank cheques), cashier's cheques or post office money orders are negotiable outside of the issuing country.

Registered mail or courier should be used for forwarding. Regular mail should not be used as it cannot be tracked. Upon receipt of this mode of deposit, PokerStars will credit your account with the funds.

Minimum deposit $100.
