WebMoney is an “online payment solution” which is effectively is an e-Wallet although it operates by the customer purchasing “web money”, and then using that to fund WebMoney poker deposits at sites which offer that poker deposit option. As complicated as it may sound, using the WebMoney payment facility is not particularly difficult and an inexpensive means of securely depositing funds into WebMoney poker sites.

WebMoney was originally a Russian payment gateway, but due to the low cost of maintaining a WebMoney account (and no doubt the appeal of being able to convert roubles into dollars) it has grown to include a number of other international currencies. Being free to fund by international bank transfer, having a low 0.8% transaction fee and the facility of an ATM withdrawal card if required, WebMoney sounds an attractive option. However, there are drawbacks if you want to use this poker deposit option at WebMoney poker sites.

Limited Use – The first major drawback is that there are not that many WebMoney poker sites. Despite the popularity of the game in Russia, and the length of time that WebMoney has been in operation (almost 15 years), WebMoney has not yet been recognised as a leading e-Wallet provider by the online gaming world. Furthermore, poker players from the States cannot use this facility to fund WebMoney poker deposits, so there is little incentive for poker websites to pull the stops out and accept this poker deposit option.

Available Currencies – At the present time, WebMoney does not provide a service in sterling, so it becomes expensive for UK poker players to convert their sterling into dollars or €uros to fund WebMoney poker deposits at the WebMoney poker sites which accept this form of deposit. Don´t forget that a foreign exchange fee would be applicable both in and out of your WebMoney poker site via the WebMoney service.

For European poker players, this would not present a problem, and if your personal bank accounts, WebMoney account and WebMoney poker site account are all held in €uros, this is a viable service that may be worth further investigation. However, for U.K. and U.S.A. poker players, it would be advisable to look elsewhere for alternative methods of making poker deposits.
