Online Poker Pay Pal

Pay Pal Online Poker

You are probably here because you have a Pay Pal account and you would like to play online poker or online casino games with the funds from you Pay Pal account.

Well, there is some good news and there is some bad news. Which one do you want first? We'll start with the bad news, although it really isn't that bad.

The Bad News

Pay Pal is no longer interested in being affiliated with any type of online poker or online casino site and they do not want any type of gambling money to be "laundered" at their dismay. Those who use Pay Pal to accept and pay for online poker, online casino, or any other online gambling transactions can expect to have their Pay Pal account frozen and the funds seized without further negotiation.

Pay Pal really throws the book at you if you disregard their "no online poker / no online casino" policy.

The Good News

The good news is that you can use the same bank account that you have registered with Pay Pal to play online poker. To have funds transferred to you from Pay Pal, you must have a bank account hooked up with PayPal right?

Well, this is usually true and there is an online poker room that will gladly transfer online poker funds to and from your same PayPal registered bank account and give you cash poker bonuses for doing so.

Of course, there are more poker deposit options. The most popular one is known as Neteller, and just about every online poker room and online casino accepts them.

Where can I play online poker with my PayPal registered bank account?

Update November 7, 2006: If you are from the US, you can deposit to Full Tilt Poker using your bank account. Most online poker rooms are no longer accepting US players, but Full Tilt is.

You can play online poker with your bank account at Party Poker. PartyPoker has an exclusive system just for people who would like to make transactions using their bank accounts. This system is called the iGlobalMedia Pay or IGM Pay system. After a short credit questionaire or a 2 day waiting period you can deposit funds into your Party Poker account instantly. Once the player is ready to cash out, the withdrawal will appear in that user's bank account in approximately 3-5 business days on the first cash out and 1-2 business days from every cash out after that.

Players can also fill out a preferred player form that is really just an identity verification form and have very speedy cash outs from that point on.

If you are interested in playing online poker with your bank account instead of Pay Pal, then please visit Party Poker and take advantage of our generous PartyPoker deposit bonus code.

Deposit Bonus? Whats That?
