Tweet Share

Full Tilt Poker and online payment processor InstantPoker have released a statement outlining changes to one widely used payment method for funding accounts. These changes have been made to help players from the United States respond to the provisions of the recently enacted Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).

Released on July 3^rd, the press release from InstantPoker and Full Tilt detailed the rebranding of Full Tilt’s “Instant eCheck” option to “Quick Deposit.” Although no changes to the actual function of this payment method have been made, the rebranding allows for the continuation of this popular payment method.

The release states, “Full Tilt Poker’s ‘Quick Deposit’ is a fast, convenient way for players to transfer money into their online poker account directly from their bank account. The payment method received a new name to promote its use especially to players in the United States since the passage of the UIGEA, which has greatly decreased the number of options Americans have for making secure deposits to an online poker room.”

Existing members at Full Tilt who have made deposits via Instant eCheck in the past will be automatically eligible for the new method. Players who use this process must be at least 18 years of age, have a checking account with adequate funds, and be able to transfer at least $10 to their Full Tilt account.

With plenty of time to prepare for the implementation of the UIGEA, online poker rooms like Full Tilt have found legal ways to help American players continue playing. Full Tilt and InstantPoker have teamed up to keep online poker safe and simple for all of its players by using Quick Deposit.
