 Withdrawing money is not as instant or easy as it is to deposit funds on gaming sites. First, you need to go the cashier or cashing out page on your online poker website and submit a request for withdrawing money. Similar to making a deposit, there are different methods of payment to choose from. Consult your website customer care for withdrawal options and fees associated with them.
Some online poker sites insist on using the same financial processor for withdrawing which the player used to deposit the original funds. For example if you deposited $200 using PayPal and want to withdraw $300, the website might credit $200 to your PayPal account and give you an option for the remaining payment.
Most sites offer their online poker players with the option of receiving a paper check via mail. This method has almost a 15-30 business day processing time. Most sites will cut the processing down to 10 days if you are willing to pay a rather large fee. This is not recommended because there is still no guarantee that the funds will reach you by the time you need them. On the other hand, some poker websites offer free FedEx courier service for any amount higher than $500.
With the advancements being made in technology and online payment methods, poker websites have started offering an electronic fund transfer (EFT) service that directly deposits the funds to your bank account. This usually only takes few days and is much faster.
Every poker site has its own terms and limitations on withdrawing funds by the online poker players. Some websites put a restriction of a single transaction per week while others have minimum withdrawal limits. Generally the minimum amount to be withdrawn is $5 up to a maximum limit. Read the terms and conditions thoroughly before submitting a withdrawal request.
Beware of the trouble-prone websites. Some websites have better systems to carry out the withdrawal process for their online poker players and some are not reliable at all. These unreliable sites take several weeks or sometimes months to deposit money into your account. Choose the online poker site that has better withdrawal methods and customer care. After all, you are playing to win!
