Singapore Poker Site Deposit Options

While each online poker site has its own set of accepted deposit methods, taking a look at the methods allowed by this popular online poker site is a great way to determine which deposit method will work best for your individual situation.  Below is a list of some of the possible deposit methods accepted at many other online poker sites based in Singapore.

Visa/Mastercard:  Credit cards are very popular around the world as a form of online poker deposits.  However, they do come with their limitations and expenses. Many banks do not allow cash deposits to online gambling sites from a credit card. These banks will usually instantly reject the payment when you try to complete it on the poker website. Many banks have a predetermined list of online gambling sites that they will not authorize deposits on. In order to find out which online sites might be accepted by your bank or credit card company, call them to see which ones they explicitly block. Also, many banks and credit card companies will charge additional fees for any deposits onto online poker sites. The transactions are usually considered to be cash advances, resulting in incredibly high fees that are likely to make this deposit method too costly to seriously consider.

Neteller: Online third-party payment processors like Neteller are a great alternative to making deposits directly from your credit card. After setting up an account with Neteller, you will have the ability to fund your account via debit/credit cards or online bank transfers. After funding your Neteller account, you will have the ability to use those funds at any online company which accepts the Neteller system of payments. Most international online poker companies accept Neteller deposits, and users worldwide find that Neteller offers a secure, fast, and reliable method of deposit onto online poker sites.

WebMoney:  The WebMoney deposit option is similar to other third party payment processors like Neteller, but it uses prepaid cards to make purchases and deposits online. The preloaded cards are available at many retail locations and can then be used for any online payments or purchases. The service charges a mere .8% transaction fee for each purchases, which is relatively low when compared to the transaction fees of many other third party online payment processors.

Ukash:  Poker with Ukash is a new deposit option available in Singapore and several other non-US countries worldwide. The service allows users to make quick and easy payments to online poker sites by using Ukash vouchers. Ukash vouchers are available for purchase from local shops and outlets that carry the vouchers. By logging on to Ukash.com, customers can find an outlet or store close to them that carries the vouchers. After purchasing a voucher the customer can then log on to one of the Singapore online poker sites and instantly deposit funds into their account. While this may seem like quite a hassle, many customers enjoy the security of not having to put any credit card or bank information online and prefer to make their purchases at local retail shops or outlets.
