Since the beginning of 2022, poker players from Russia, Belarus and Ukraine have faced a number of difficulties, one of which is account replenishment and cashouts. Poker University managers conducted a full-fledged study in which they found out what methods work this year for depositing and withdrawing money from poker rooms.
1. Cryptocurrencies
The global situation has forced players from Russia to start using cryptocurrency for a comfortable game of online poker. Today it is the easiest and most convenient way to make deposits and cashouts from most rooms.
On the site you will find detailed materials: How to start using crypto for poker players, How to make a deposit in a poker room with cryptocurrency, How to start using crypto in poker.
All poker rooms accept crypto today. I started using it myself in March 2022. In the beginning, it was difficult, but now I am very satisfied — it is really convenient, and I advise everyone to master this method.
To get started, follow the recommendations in this article and create a verified Bybit account. Next, it will be easy to use the cryptocurrency for the game.
What rooms and coins work:
- PokerOK — accepts BTC and USDT. The minimum deposit and withdrawal is $100. Withdrawal fee — 1%. It is better to use USDT.
- PokerDom — supports Litecoin and Tether USDT. For new players, a crypto deposit may not be available, but a withdrawal is possible even without a previous crypto deposit.
- RedStar Poker accepts LTC, USDT, BnB. Cashout fee: 1% for withdrawal + 2% for conversion.
- PokerKing accepts LTC and USDT. The minimum amounts depend on the method.
Chico network — all rooms accept crypto. The most profitable way to use Litecoin
2. Bank cards
This is a familiar and convenient way, but it is not available everywhere:
PokerDom — supports VISA, MasterCard, MIR cards. Withdrawal — only on cards of Russian banks in rubles pots.
3. E-wallets
Skrill and Neteller
The two previously most popular e-wallets have become less used by players from Russia due to the restrictions imposed. However, some poker rooms continue to accept them not only for withdrawal, but also for deposit. But it is difficult for the Russian Federation to withdraw money from the payment wallets themselves. That's why we don't recommend them right now.
- PokerOK - the leader of online poker by the number of players at the tables supports both payment systems. The minimum deposit and cashout amount is $10. Both wallets have a 3% withdrawal fee.
- IPoker Network - Skrill and Neteller continue to accept rooms from the European network. In RedStar Poker, both a deposit and a cashout with a commission of 1.5% are possible.
Qiwi
The payment system is available for deposit only in the Poker House through the Alfa-Bank widget in the cash desk of the game client. Withdrawal of money through Kiwi is possible after making several deposits.
MuchBetter
The popular payment system is often used as an alternative electronic wallet, which is accepted by several rooms, but due to sanctions restrictions, it is also a lot of difficulties, and we do not recommend it.
- PokerOK - walletsare available for deposit (from $10) and cashout (from $50). You will have to pay an additional fee for withdrawal — 3% of the amount.
- Chico network - used by TigerGaming to replenish the account and cashout. The minimum deposit amount is $10, and the withdrawal amount is limited to $3,000 per transaction.
LuxonPay
A relatively new virtual payment system. There may be problems with her, too.
- PokerOK is available for transactions in both directions. Cashout fee — 3%.
- RedStar Poker - transactions in both directions with a 1% withdrawal fee are also possible.
- PokerKing - minimum deposit amount — $5, cashout — $10.
WebMoney
The popular payment system in the Russian Federation is accepted only in a few poker rooms:
- PokerDom is not available, you need to check it individually.
- RedStar Poker - only WMZ and WMX wallets are accepted for account replenishment and withdrawal. There is a commission for cashout — 1% of the amount.
4. Transfer between players
Another popular way to replenish your balance or withdraw money is transfers between players.
They are not available in all rooms:
- PokerOK - Daily limit is $300.
- PokerDom - Transactions are available without restrictions. You'll need to verify your account first.
- RedStar Poker - Minimum amount is €5.
- PokerKing - The option of transferring between users also works. Default limits: $100 per day, $250 per week, $1,000 per month.
