Playing Internet Poker Again

Now that you have been playing poker for a few weeks, hopefully you have enough money in your account and want to withdraw some of it.

Typically, poker sites want you to withdraw using a method you have deposited with. If you deposited via Gift Card, this option is not available to you. Still, withdrawing is as easy as deposing once you know a few key peices of information.

I have been playing at Absolute Poker for a few years now, and I have cashed a number of different ways, but the easiest method to make a withdrawal is by check.

I recently made a withdrawal of $1000 so I could document the process for you and report on the time it took. I requested the check very late Wednesday evening. I assume the check was processed on Thursday because the envelope I received was postmarked Friday. I received the check in my mailbox on Monday. As you can see this process is very fast.

The check arrived in a plain white envelope that could easily be mistaken for junk mail. If you are worried about being hassled by someone because you are playing poker, the check and envelope had nothing on it to indicate it was from a poker site. These links will show you a sample check with most of the personal information removed.

The biggest drawback to withdrawing by check is that you pay a fee. At Absolute Poker that fee is $8. Other withdrawal methods have fees too, and they are usually higher.
