ACH casinos
The Automated Clearing House (ACH) Network is an electronic
payments network used by individuals, businesses, financial institutions
and government organizations. The ACH began, in 1972, as a system
operated by the Federal Reserve Banks at the request of members of
local ACH associations. ACH electronic payments provide better cash
management capabilities and lower costs than traditional paper payments.
The ACH Network now supports electronic payments throughout all 50
states, the US territories and Canada. Efforts are currently underway
for the development of a worldwide ACH Network, the Worldwide Automated
Transaction Clearing House (WATCH).
An electronic check or ACH direct bank transfer is a bank transfer
from your US checking account to another US checking account. You
will have to void a valid check from your checkbook and copy the
Routing number, the checking account number and the Check number
to an electronic check. ACH electronic payments are restricted to
US checking account holders. ACH should not be mistaken with Bank
Wire, which works a little different and usually involves bank fees
to be paid from both parties, while the use of ACH usually is free
of charge.
ACH casinos
The following casinos accept ACH, either as a deposit or withdrawal
method or both. For each casino we list in the second and third column
if they support ACH as a deposit or a withdrawal method. We also provide
you with a link to our full review of the casino.
The procedure to deposit money into your casino account
using an ACH electronic payment is summarized below. More detailed
information is often available at the casinos mentioned in the table
above.
Issue a check and void it
Write a check as you would normally do but also write VOID on the
check to make it invalid. Keep the check as a receipt.
Provide the casino with the details from your voided check
Depending on the banking interface of the casino you will have to
provide the casino with the information on your voided check, in order
to issue an electronic check. The following information is required:
your full name, your address, the amount to be transferred, the type
of your US checking account, i.e. check or savings, your US checking
account number, the check number and the 9 digit ABA or routing number
of your US bank. The last three numbers can be found on the bottom
of your voided check. Sometimes you will also have to fax or scan/e-mail
a copy of your voided check for confirmation purposes.
Wait for clearance of the transfer
ACH direct bank transfers normally take between 3-5 business days
to clear. Some casinos will credit your casino account before the
transfer is cleared, but will require clearance before any withdrawal.
Other casinos will only credit your casino account when the transfer
is cleared.
