Absolute Poker Welcome ePassporte Users With Bonuses and Alternative Payment Methods

Both Absolute Poker and UltimateBet announced they will be offering their own integrated payment solution in addition to accepting ten other funding methods, helping to alleviate the concerns of those online poker players affected by ePassporte' abrupt shut down two weeks ago.  ePassporte claimed there was a criminal investigation into online poker operations, something that has not yet been verified.

Absolute Poker www.absolutepoker.com and UltimateBet www.ultimatebet.com today issued a statement to all online poker players affected by ePassporte’s decision to no longer accept funding for online gaming. The online gaming sites each offer their players a dozen different ways to deposit and receive funds, quickly and effortlessly.

In addition to the sites’ integrated payment processing that allows players to deposit poker funds directly from their Visa or MasterCard, UltimateBet and Absolute Poker both allow players to fund their accounts via services such as NETeller, UKash, Moneybookers, ClickandBuy, and CLICK2PAY. Bank drafts and certified checks as well as direct bank wire transfers are also available to online poker players looking to fund their account. UK-based players can use popular debit cards Switch, Solo, Maestro, Visa Electron, and Delta to make deposits.

The broad variety of deposit options that each poker room gives players is just the beginning. Both also feature industry-leading bonuses to players making their first deposits with them, inviting Texas Hold’em fans to more than double their bankroll - up to $1,100 in the case of UltimateBet. Loyalty programs that reward online poker players with gear, vacations, land-based tournament entries and other prizes have also made the two sites industry favorites.
