Play Poker for Real Money Using VISA

How can I make purchases at PokerStars using VISA / VISA Electron?

VISA purchase is fully integrated via the PokerStars cashier screen. When you click on "Cashier" and then on "Buy Chips", you will see an option to use VISA. Click on the VISA button and enter the required information, including the amount you wish to deposit.

For added security, a Card Verification Number (CVN) is required.  The CVN is a 3-digit number located on the back of the card, above the signature.

When you click ‘Submit’, your request will be submitted to your bank servers via one of our processors and you will receive confirmation in about a minute. Purchase transactions are identified on your credit card statement as POKERSTARS.

In addition to USD, players can choose to deposit in CAD, GBP, EUR, SEK, NOK, DKK and AUD currencies, thus avoiding VISA exchange service charges of up to 3%. Local currency deposit options will only be available to players from the countries using above currencies. Deposits will be automatically converted to US$ equivalent using the current exchange rate.

Please note that if you are transacting with PokerStars in a currency other than your card currency, your card issuer will apply their own exchange rate and fee to the transaction. Customers are therefore advised to check exchange rates and fees with their issuers. For current VISA purchase limits, please visit our Cashier.

Can I make ‘Fast Deposit’ purchases using my VISA card?

The ‘Fast Deposit’ feature is available for VISA deposits. ‘Fast Deposit’ is a quick and convenient way to fund your PokerStars account using your preferred payment method. Once setup, you will see the ‘Fast Deposit’ button when playing in cash games, allowing you to review and submit transactions directly from the table.

What about my cashouts?

You may use a CFT eligible VISA card to cashout your funds providing you have made at least one previous purchase using your card within the past six months.

Please be aware that cashouts are automatically credited back to any VISA account that you have used to make deposits in the past six months

PokerStars will convert your cashout to the currency your previous deposit was processed in, before being sent to your card.

Please note that additional eligibility criteria may apply to automatic CFT eligible VISA and Entropay cashout options.

What will it cost me to use VISA at PokerStars?
