eChecks is a new method for online poker players and casino players which gives you the ability to
fund your player account instantly directly from the casino or poker room you are playing on. Not all
online poker rooms are supporting eChecks right now, but they are adapting to them. The two biggest
benefits to this option is you will not pay any fees and once you setup your information with the bank,
your transaction is instant. What is an eCheck
An eCheck also referred to as Instant Checks is an online check processed just like your regular paper
checks. This option is completely safe, so you won’t need to worry since the eCheck has the same safety
measures in place as your regular checks.
Writing an eCheck
To use this option to fund your account click the eCheck logo. You will then need to provide the poker room your banking details such as routing and account number and the amount requested. The room will need some form of identification to verify that you are who you say you are and in most cases this is simply your driver’s license number or social security. It’s safe to give them this information since your personal details are encrypted, meaning no one will ever be privy to it. This is a security protocol for both you and the gaming room.
Once your details have been provided simply select the amount of the transaction and your funds should be instantly deposited into your player account. If you are new to using
instant check poker or casino, you will be limited to only a few deposits until your checks have been processed by your financial institution. Once you have an established history of successful transactions these limits will increase.
Are eChecks Safe
They are completely safe. An eCheck also entails the same security features you would find on your paper check such as digital signatures, encryption and many other security measures that are put in place that protect you from fraud
