Solo Card Poker Sites – Solo Debit Online Poker – Ultimate Bet

• About the Solo Debit Card

The Solo debit card was first released on July 1st 1997 and it was issued to clients at numerous banks. The debit card is only available in the United Kingdom and there aren’t any plans to make it available internationally. The Solo debit card is basically identical to the Maestro debit card that is issued by MasterCard in the United Kingdom. Nowadays the Solo debit card has been losing their market share in the UK as banks have been switching over to the Visa debit cards instead of offering the Solo debit card.

• Using Solo Card For Poker

You can use the Solo debit card for making purchases at retail locations around the world and on the internet. One of the purchases that you can make online with your Solo debit card is online poker money. There are quite a few online poker rooms that accept the Solo debit card as a deposit option and it’s become a widely used method for poker players in the UK. With over 5 million Solo debit card account holders in the UK, online poker rooms would be silly not to accept the card as a deposit option.

You can still sign-up for a Solo debit card at several issuing banks throughout the UK, but the easiest way to sign-up for a new Solo debit card is to visit a local HSBC or NatWest branch. Almost anyone can sign-up for a Solo debit card, but there are security measures taken to ensure that underage people can’t use the card to deposit into online poker sites. The numbering scheme used on the Solo debit card will be different depending on whether you’re under or over the age of eighteen.

• A Safe & Secure Transfer Mechanism

Apart from the security features in place to prevent underage people from using their debit card for online poker purchases, there are plenty of anti-fraud features on the card as well. All online purchases need to be pre-approved electronically by your bank so that the poker site can ensure you have enough money on your card. The Solo debit card may also be issued with overdraft, so if you have overdraft on your card then you’ll be able to make a deposit into the poker site you play with as long as the amount doesn’t excess your overdraft limit.

When you make a deposit at an online poker site using a Solo debit card the money won’t be debited from your account for 1-3 days in most cases although it’ll be pre-approved instantly. To avoid paying a stiff penalty you need to make sure that you have the money in your account after you make the deposit so that it isn’t denied. The Solo debit card can also be used as your withdrawal method with online poker sites, which makes it really easy to receive your money when you request it. It usually only takes a couple days to receive the withdrawal into your bank account.

The minimum deposit you can make at most poker rooms accepting the Solo debit card is $10 with the maximum deposit varying based on your limitations and the rules of the poker room you’re playing with. The following poker sites all accept the Solo debit card as a deposit and withdrawal option.
