Party Poker Deposit - How to Get Money Into Your Party Poker Account

Players from all over the world (except the United States) are able to play at Party Poker using regular deposit methods for real money games. Ensuring the security of patron's deposits, Party Poker offers a wide variety of safe, online deposit methods. Some means of deposit are limited by the player's country due to specific nation's limitations regarding online financial transactions for gambling.

Credit and Debit Cards

The fastest means of processing a real money deposit is through a standard credit or debit card from Visa or MasterCard. For any cardholder's account in good standing, Party Poker deposits process immediately. Party Poker has noted a warning that if a player's credit card is declined for a Party Poker transaction, it may be due to additional restrictions recently imposed by the country's card-issuing banks regarding online gaming deposits.

Without other pending limitations from card issuers, Party Poker welcomes credit and debit card deposits via:

  • Visa Credit Cards - instantly accessible funds
  • Visa Electron Cards - instant approval for funds
  • MasterCard Credit Cards - processes deposit instantly
  • Maestro/Solo/Switch Debit accounts - 10 to 20 seconds approval for good standing accounts

Third Party E-Wallet Services

E-Wallets are secure services that allow players to fund a third party account with credit cards, debit cards or direct bank account transfers. The benefit of establishing a third party e-wallet account to use for online poker is that a player's personal information is used to register the e-wallet, but never directly entered on the poker site. This maintains a higher degree of security for players' information than direct credit card or bank deposits can provide.

The most popular and commonly available e-wallet services are supported at Party Poker:

  • PayPal - for existing account holders with available funds, 10 to 20 seconds approval
  • Neteller - 10 to 20 seconds for approval on existing, funded accounts
  • Moneybookers - also 10 to 20 seconds approval on accounts with sufficient funds
  • Click2Pay - instant deposits
  • My Citadel Wallet - deposits process immediately
  • Click and Buy - instant deposits from funded accounts
  • WebMoney - uses software money manager to make deposits from WebMoney accounts

Other Secure Card Services

Various other secure cards may be purchased at retail stores or convenience shops. These cards are loaded with a certain amount of money paid at the time of purchase - similar to a gift card or pre-paid card. The value of using these deposit methods is that you can fund your secure card with cash, credit or debit card purchases but the card itself is a randomly coded card. This ensures that none of a player's personal financial information is accessible when making deposits at Party Poker.

Secure, pre-paid cards that Party Poker supports are:

  • Paysafecard - funds immediately available
  • Visa Entropay - instantly funds poker account
  • UKash - uses vouchers with 19-digit secure code for instant transfers of total voucher amount

Direct Bank and Financial Institution Account Transfers

Some players prefer to keep the deposit process very simple and direct by using their own direct bank account or wire transfer service. Some banks do not support e-gaming transactions, and it is a player's responsibility to ensure the bank transfer from their account is valid. Other wire transfer services, like Western Union, allow for a similar direct cash money transfer but without making personal information accessible to online identity theft.

Party Poker honors its security guidelines by not disclosing any personal information about players to third party sources, which is a helpful security precaution for direct bank deposit players. On the poker room end, Party Poker supports money transfers through:

  • UseMyBank - offers instant deposits from a supporting bank's bill payment service (UK)
  • POLi - deposits through bank bill payment service (New Zealand and Australia)
  • Instant Banking - participating banks only; instant account deposits
  • Bank Transfer - usually releases funds within two to three business days
  • Electronic Transfer - instant bank transfers for Canadians
  • Bank Wire Transfer - processes as soon as the wire is received by Party Poker's bank
  • Western Union Wire Transfer - direct cash payment processes as a deposit in 1 to 18 hours

All Party Poker players are able to make real money deposits through some available means, even when not all of these deposit methods are accessible from every country. Party Poker honors the security of its patrons by keeping personal player data secure and undisclosed to third parties. It also uses a secure SSL connection for financial transactions so players are confidently able to make deposits at Party Poker for real money games.
