When choosing a poker room, one of the most important aspects to look for is the deposit and withdrawal methods allowed by the platform. There are several alternatives today to streamline these transactions, and all have powerful security tools to prevent any hacker from compromising the integrity of the operation.
Below, you have a brief summary of the best withdrawal and deposit methods that you can find in the main online poker rooms, along with a series of virtues that you should know in case you did not know what differentiates them from the others.
It is common to find the Skrill online wallet in the main poker rooms. It is a payment and wire transfer platform created in the United Kingdom and currently belongs to the Paysafe Group, based in the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man, which is also the provider of Neteller, also widely used in online poker.
Using Skrill in poker allows you to make instant deposits and withdrawals to and from your account, keeping your data encrypted and speeding up the movements you make so that the money can be enjoyed as soon as possible.
Its combination of speed and security has made it one of the main payment tools in the main poker rooms, and it is one of the most used worldwide.
Skrill's first cousin, also coordinated and supervised by the Paysafe Group, offers practically the same advantages to speed up transactions. It allows any Neteller user to continue using his account without having to migrate his data to Skrill, making any transaction more convenient, so it is not surprising that Neteller is one of the most used platforms in online poker by players from all over the world.
Although Skrill's fees have historically always been somewhat lower, Neteller has always been associated with the forefront of security. In addition, the main differences are that each platform has different margins for withdrawals and minimum deposits, but depositing with Neteller in poker is still as easy as ever. It is not for nothing that the same group has invested a significant amount of resources to improve the operation of its payment tools.
Paysafecard is a platform designed to make online payments in an equally simple way, but with cash. It is very agile and that is why in the poker world Paysafecard is so appreciated: to use it, just find a point of sale, buy a prepaid code (there are 10 €, 25 €, 50 € and 100 €, and make your deposits and withdrawals in the online poker room. Paysafecard has been thought for those who want to keep the use of cash, but benefiting from the agility of digital transactions, making the player have full control of his funds.
Paysafecard in poker has allowed thousands of players to make withdrawals and deposits through their ATMs around the world. In addition, it can be used whether you are a registered user or not. If you are not registered, the limit of the amount per transaction is up to 50 €, an amount that rises to 1,000 euros in the case of registered players.
Cryptocurrencies have arrived in the world of online poker. The benefits of blockchain technology, which keeps data and transaction information unalterable and invisible, have allowed it to be a method more than accepted by the community of players.
In addition, as a curiosity, many professional poker players have found in cryptocurrencies a hobby that has led them to learn more about the dynamics of these decentralized currencies, hence the presence of Bitcoin in online poker is not a coincidence.
Playing poker with Bitcoin, of course, has its risks. And it all comes from the fluctuating value of cryptocurrencies, which can change overnight as they are not regulated by a financial entity (a central bank) or a government institution. Which does not detract from the fact that poker and Bitcoin are getting along more than well and that more and more rooms are opening the door to accepting BTCs for deposits and withdrawals.
Poker and Paypal have been going hand in hand for years. The well-known Paypal payment platform has been a driving force for poker monetary transactions.
One of the advantages of Paypal is that, since its beginnings, it has been tremendously transparent with its users, applying important security measures to every movement made on the platform and offering its community important guarantees in case something goes wrong in any of the thousands of transactions they process every day.
Paypal and poker seemed to be doomed to understand each other from the beginning. Because playing poker with Paypal meant, at the time, a plus of guarantees for those users who did not trust the tools used by the rooms to process transactions until then.
The movements with money made online and in poker rooms with Paypal were a boost for the confidence of the community, which made that digital transactions began to enjoy a certain category and good press with the introduction of Paypal in online poker.
Conclusion: playing online poker with Paypal is the best way to maintain the use of a familiar platform and still use its advantages for any online purchase without having to register with another payment platform. A great option to unify transactions and streamline the player's operations.
To know in which rooms you can make withdrawals or deposit money with these methods, the first thing to specify is your point of origin. That is to say, depending on your geolocation, you will have access to some tools or others, since each territory has its own legislation.
