• About the Laser Debit Card

Most poker players around the world will not have heard about Laser, but if you live in Ireland then chances are you have a Laser debit card in your wallet or purse. The Laser debit card is the most widely used debit card in Ireland and there are roughly three million people in the country that use this card regularly. There aren’t that many online poker rooms that accept Laser deposits right now due to the fact it’s only available in one country, but there are still a few good options you should take a look at.

There are a total of four different banks in Ireland that issue the Laser debit card including EBS Building Society, Allied Irish Banks, National Irish Bank and Bank of Ireland. Basically if you want to have a Laser debit card then they’re readily available everywhere in Ireland and you won’t have a problem signing up for the card. The Laser debit card has been available since 1996 and they have a lot of experience in the online payment processing industry.

• Using Laser Debit Card in IE

You can use your Laser debit card at most retail locations in Ireland and for online purchases. You won’t be able to use the Laser debit card outside of Ireland unless you have a new debit card that is a Laser/Maestro card. Since Maestro is accepted around the world you’d be able to use your Laser card in thousands of locations all over the world if you needed too. Making the switch to the new card isn’t important if you don’t plan on using the card outside of online purchases and retail locations in Ireland.

• Using Laser Card For Online Poker

To make an online deposit to your poker site using the Laser debit card you need to have the funds available in your bank account. Your payment to the poker room will be the equivalent of sending the poker room a cheque, except everything will be taken care of electronically. Once you make the deposit the money will be available in your poker account immediately so that you can start playing right away. The money won’t be taken off your Laser debit card until several days later, but it always gets approved when you’re making the deposit to ensure you have the necessary funds.

• Laser Debit Card Limits

The minimum deposit on your Laser debit card with most online poker rooms will be $10 and the maximum is $1500. The Laser debit card doesn’t allow you to spend more then $1500 a day online, which is why that limit is in place. I’m sure this won’t affect most poker players, as $1500 is a huge amount to be able to deposit on a daily basis. If you live in Ireland and you don’t have a credit card then the easiest way to fund your account is with the Laser card. You can also receive withdrawals back into your bank account when you use your Laser debit card to fund your account. It only takes a few days to receive your money into your bank account, which is always good since nobody likes waiting for his or her profits.
