PokerStars Lowers Minimum Deposit Limit for Electronic Checks

Poker News - October 24th, 2009 - Written by Glen

The world's largest online poker room, PokerStars, has always been one of the easiest poker rooms to deposit into, as they accept a variety of deposit methods, including credit cards, electronic checks, wire transfers, and money orders. Being a popular website, credit cards tend to fail as a deposit method, but electronic checks are always spot on. The biggest difference between the two was that credit cards carried a minimum deposit of $10 dollars, while e-checks required a $25 dollar deposit. This has all changed now, as PokerStars has reduced the minimum on e-checks to $10 dollars.

For some players, $10 dollars is all it takes. Grinding low stakes tables or low buy-in tournaments is how many players build their bankroll, and now they may do so with a mere ten dollars. Better still, more casual players will enjoy having to only deposit $10 dollars, as they will not be required to pass off too much money just to play penny poker.

Electronic Checks are regularly regarded as one of the best Poker Deposit Methods, as they have a low incidence of failure, the funds are transferred instantly, and they remain impenetrably safe. Using e-checks has become one of the primary deposit methods employed by players around the world, and is one of the cheapest methods for the poker room itself, which in turn allows them to offer more free prizes to their players.

All that is required for an e-check deposit is a checking account, a social security number, and a paper check on hand. Players will be required to enter the routing and account number on the check, and then the deposit is typically made within a minute. The funds will not be instantly removed from your account, so players are advised to keep that extra money in the account until it clears.

Whether you want to deposit $10 or $1,000, PokerStars will allow you to use an electronic check. This is the best method players can use to make deposits, and with the lower minimum, depositing has become even more convenient.
