Some advantages and disadvantages of using ecoPayz
ecoPayz is a safe and reliable online transaction method accepted by many online poker sites.
ecoPayz comes with many advantages and disadvantages. Let’s go over the advantages first:
1. The user-friendly dashboard allows you to have complete control over your account.
2. Because ecoPayz is a straightforward payment processor that does not loan out any money, a credit check is not required to open an account.
3. You even don’t need a bank account to open an ecoPayz account. You just have to move some cash into your account whenever you are ready to start using it.
4. You can get one to three ecoCards (payment cards) to use as you wish.
5. ecoPayz is available in 159 countries and 45 different currencies. That means you can do business with many different people all around the world.
As great as ecoPayz is, it comes with some disadvantages, including:
1. Restricted access to people in the United States. Some people use their ecoPayz account to shop online, but others use their account to gamble. That is one of the reasons why ecoPayz is not available to citizens in the United States, where it is illegal to gamble online with real money. This is a disadvantage because if you sell or buy something from a United States citizen online, you will not be able to use ecoPayz, but rather another payment method that is accessible to them (like PayPal).
2. Even though the registration process is quick and easy, it still takes some time for you to add some funds to your ecoPayz account. You have to dig up your credit card information or bank information, connect it to your ecoPayz account, verify everything, and then finally transfer the funds to your ecoPayz account before you can start using it as a payment method at a poker site.
3. Not all poker sites accept ecoPayz. However, a good number of reputable ones already do. You can see the list of the top poker sites that accept ecoPayz above on this page.

Now your ecoPayz account is all set up and you are all ready to gamble with it!
How to transfer funds from ecoPayz to your bankroll at a poker site
First, make sure you have enough funds in your ecoPayz account.
Once you have a player account set up at a poker site, head over to the cashier section of the online casino. Find the deposits section, and then select the ecoPayz option.
You will be taken to a secure page where you can log into your ecoPayz account and confirm the amount of money you want to transfer to the poker site. Click submit, and then go back to the online casino. You will see your funds sitting there, ready to be used!
NOTE: You have to check and make sure your personal information is entered accurately while setting up an account at a poker site because you will need to verify your information with back-up documents when it is time to withdraw your winnings.

Is it a safe form of payment?
Most definitely! ecoPayz is designed in such a way where you will never have to reveal your personal financial details to anyone online. Once you deposit some money into your ecoPayz account via your bank account or credit card, you get an extra layer of security. ecoPayz handles the nitty-gritty part of completing a transaction online, and that includes managing your financial details.

How fast are deposits and withdrawals?
Pretty fast. Not only will you save some time by not having to input your financial details into individual sites in order to deposit or withdraw cash, but you will also not have to verify your account until you are ready to withdraw your winnings from a poker site.
Are my winnings paid into my ecoPayz account?
Of course! All you have to do is to withdraw your winnings from the poker site and have them transferred to your ecoAccount.
Are there any fees involved?
Yes. While it is free to sign up at ecoPayz.com, you have to pay a small fee or percentage every time you manage your funds. For example, the fee for making a deposit via a credit card falls between 1.69% and 2.9%. There is even a fee for converting your currency to another one and withdrawing funds to a bank account.
However, the good news is that some of the activity between yourself or two ecoPayz users is free. It does not cost anything to transfer funds between two of your sub-accounts, transfer funds to or from another ecoPayz Merchant account, or transfer funds to another ecoAccount user (free for Gold, Platinum, and VIP users only).
