Depositing to USA poker sites is the easiest and most hassle free way of getting money into your poker account. Unfortunately in the last few weeks some of the USA poker sites that have always had good success rates in getting credit cards approved have been having trouble. These sites include the poker sites that operate on the Merge Poker Network that include PokerHost, Carbon Poker, PDC Poker and Aced Poker. All of the sudden credit cards are not working as well as they have in the past. We have contacted customer service at some of the sites and state they hope to have their success rates back to normal in the coming days.

If you still want to deposit with your credit card check out Lock Poker or Colt Poker. We have still had very good success depositing at Lock with credit card in the last few days. Lock Poker offers an industry leading sign up bonus of a 200% match up to $4000, by far the largest offered by any site. Thee bonus is also very easy to earn. Earn $1 of your for just every $2.38 paid in fees.

Colt Poker offers a 200% match bonus up to $2000 and is also an easy bonus to clear. At Colt your earn $1 of your bonus for every $2.38 paid in fee’s just like at Lock. Credit cards are still working at Colt Poker but they do not seem to acceptance rates as high as Lock Poker.

Hopefully very soon the remaining poker sites will once again start getting USA credit cards approved. We try everyday with our cards and when they seem to have acceptance rates back up will be sure to update that information here. You can also deposit with Western Union at many sites. It is a little more of a hassle and more expensive but worth it if you want to play online poker. When you deposit with Western Union be sure to contact the poker site and ask them to reimburse you the fees. Many times they will or at least split the fees with you. If you are depositing with Western Union we highly recommend PokerHost. PokerHost has always been one of our to play at. See our or a full listing of .

PokerStars have decided to clean up their virtual lobby by introducing a single option for game speed based on game type and stake, eliminating the choice of ‘regular’ and ‘fast’ tables. The aim is to simplify the decisions players must make before joining a table and to encourage new visitors onto the site. The changes are expected to be introduced to the website soon.

The speeds of the virtual poker tables dictate how much time a player has to make a decision as to whether they wish to fold or play their hand. If a player goes over the table speed then the extra time will be deducted from their ‘time bank’. Once all the available time in a player’s bank has been used up, the players hand will automatically be folded.

Currently PokerStars offers players two separate speeds in most stakes and game types. No Limit and Pot Limit games gives participants the choice of joining a fast table%
