The best poker sites that accept visa card deposits
Updated In May, 2012 - Credit cards like Visa have been one of the most used poker deposit options since the inception of online poker. Online poker enthusiasts have mixed results when using Visa credit or debit cards to fund their poker accounts. American players in particular can have their deposits rejected due to the issuing bank's stance on gambling online. Visa's top competitor, Mastercard, is virtually useless these days when it comes to making deposits at an online poker site. Visa is the only major credit card left for US players. This article will be about the best US poker sites accepting Visa deposits as well as the top non-US poker site. These two rooms are Poker Stars and Sky Poker. Poker Stars is obviously a major poker room that you have likely heard of before. Sky Poker is a newer poker site that is steadily climbing the ranks. Unlike most new poker rooms Sky Poker is not a skin on a network. They are a stand alone room with their own unique software. Both of these sites accept Visa card deposits and can even process cash-outs the same way for certain players. Here is a brief overview of each of these rooms.
Sky Poker
Sky Poker is the 28th largest poker site in the world. This is very impressive when you consider the fact that they are not part of a network, do not accept US players and are relatively new. I expect them to be within the top 15 rooms by the end of 2011. This sky poker review will cover some of the reasons for sky poker's success.
- Software - Sky Poker's poker software is very advanced and unique. It even allows players to play poker on their TV.
- Bonus - It doesn't matter how much you deposit at Sky Poker. They base your bonus on the number of points you earn during your first month. This bonus will range from £5 to £1000. So you could make a £20 deposit and receive a £1000 bonus. You will also receive a £10 tournament token.
- Tournaments - There are big guaranteed tournaments at Sky Poker and overlays are very common.
Pokerstars
Pokerstars accepts Visa card deposits and has a high success rate. Traffic peaks at a quarter of a million players. A good percentage of this traffic comes from the USA but millions of international players call Pokerstars home making it the largest poker site in the world .I really like the game selection at Pokerstars. You can play every major card game as well as many less common games like triple draw and badugi. The tournaments at Pokerstars are another major attraction. They host weekly Majors tournaments for all of their games. Overlays are commonplace during these events. The signup bonus at Pokerstars is just as impressive as Sky Poker's bonus. There will be three separate bonuses instead of one.The largest bonus possible is $600 but since you get three consecutive deposit bonuses you will be able to get a nice sized bonus no matter how much you deposit.
