Established in 1998, Eco Card is universally recognized as a fast, secure online payment method accepted by thousands of online merchants, including a multitude of online poker sites. Eco Card was once open to poker players around the globe, but for the past few years, has restricted US customers from using the payment service for online poker deposits.
Eco Card is a trusted payment system that works much like a credit card, but is 100% Internet-based. Eco Card poker sites accept this payment method as an instant transfer method for deposits, with withdrawal options as well.
Opening an Eco Card account is free. Users can then deposit to their Eco Card account using a credit card, debit card, bank deposit or EFT (available in Canada only). Once the account is funded, deposits to Eco Card poker sites are instant, secure and free. The only fees are associate with bank deposits (charged by the bank, not Eco card) and withdrawals from your Eco card account to your bank.
