Bodog Gives Americans New Deposit Method

Online poker room Bodog.com has introduced a new way for U.S. customers to get funds into their accounts. The best part is that it is gloriously simple. All it is is an e-check, called “Instant Check” by Bodog.

With Instant Check, players can make deposits into their poker accounts directly from their personal bank accounts. The only pieces of information that are required are a bank account number, routing number, and check number.

The funds will be available in players’ accounts immediately, but keep in mind that it may take 7-10 business days for the corresponding debit to show up in the bank account that was used. The minimum deposit is $20 and the maximum is $500. And, as Instant Checks are one-way transactions, cashouts are made via physical check.
