Carbon Having Deposit Trouble

May 25, 2026 – 1:18 pm

Carbon Poker is currently experiencing problems getting credit cards approved. This for both USA players and players abroad. Luckily if you do not live in the United States you have plenty of other deposit methods available. If you do live in the USA your only other option to make a deposit is by cash transfer.

Carbon does hope to have this problem rectified today and by this evening USA players should be able to get their credit card approved. If you do send cash be sure to contact customer support to ask if they will reimburse the fee's from sending cash. Because of this situation they most likely will and if we were going to make a cash deposit we would insist they do.

If you want to deposit with your credit card check out Americas Card Room or Lock Poker. Both are still getting USA Visa and MasterCard deposits approved with great success rates. If you do not yet have an account at either one be sure to claim a sign up bonus when you make your first deposit. Americas Card Room offers a 100% match bonus up to $1000 and Lock Poker offers a 200% match bonus up to $4000.

Both poker sites accept USA players and have great site traffic. Americas Card Room also offers a bad beat jackpot and progressive rake chase. Americas Card Room is one of our top recommended USA online poker sites. They have great site traffic so you can always find the game or tournament of your choice without waiting.

For more information on either poker site see our Americas Card Room review or Lock Poker review to get started and claim a great bonus. Both sites do an outstanding job getting USA credit cards approved. If you want to only play at Carbon Poker try back after 5pm EST. That is the timeline they hope to have their repairs completed by.

Getting Deposits Approved

April 5, 2026 – 8:23 am

If you have been frustrated in the past trying to get credit card deposits approved to online poker sites you can rest a little easier now. There are still plenty of USA online poker sites that continue to get credit card approved. The two best USA poker sites for credit card deposits are Lock Poker and PokerHost. Both accept USA players and deposits and both good a good job getting USA credit cards approved.

Sign up at Lock Poker and claim a huge 200% match bonus up to $4000 which is also very easy to earn. At Lock Poker you only need to pay $2.38 in rake or tournament fee's to earn $1 of your bonus. This is by far the easiest poker bonus to earn and the free bonus dollars add up quickly at Lock. Lock does a great job getting USA Visa deposits approved so you can get in the action. They also accept MasterCard but Visa seems to work better.

PokerHost is another USA online poker site that does a great job getting USA credit card approved. PokerHost accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express and does a great job getting all three approved. Sign up through our website and claim a 200% match bonus up to $5000 and then also claim a reload bonus on every deposit you make thereafter.

So if you have had trouble in the past getting deposits approved use Lock Poker or PokerHost and get back in the action. You can also see a full listing of USA poker sites that accept credit cards and they are ranked by their ability to get credit card deposits approved. If for some reason you still cannot get your credit card deposit approved you can always send cash to USA Western Union poker sites. Western Union is not as convenient as credit cards but it is a guaranteed way to fund your poker account.

January 23, 2026 – 10:09 am

We still have the best listing of USA online poker sites that accept credit cards and get them approved. Some online poker sites can be a little fickle when it comes to getting your credit card deposit approved, but Lock Poker and PokerHost are the two best sites when come to getting USA credit cards approved on a consistent basis.

See our Lock Poker review and get your credit card deposit approved.

Next in line is PokerHost. PokerHost also accept all three credit cards, Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Visa and American Express seem to work to the best but MasterCard also has pretty good acceptance rates.

In the meantime it may continue to be a little frustrating but by using Lock Poker and PokerHost you can still play online poker from the USA.

Americas Card Room Receives A for Processing

March 24, 2026 – 12:20 pm

Americas Card RoomIn a report released from Poker Affiliate Solutions, Americas Card Room has received an "A" rating for payment processing. Poker Affiliate Solutions is a watchdog for online poker sites and designates grades to online poker sites based on certain criteria. Americas Card Room has received either an A or A+ rating for all of 2026 for their fast payments.

According to the report (which we agree with) Cash Transfer withdraws were received by the player in 1-3 days. Check processing was also fast with average time to receive checks taking 1-2 weeks. Fast withdraws are always a key concern to poker players and all online gamblers alike. When it takes weeks upon weeks to receive your winnings it is very frustrating and can be filled with anxiety.

If you want fast withdraws Americas Card Room is a good choice. Making deposits can be a little more challenging but they do have pretty good USA credit card deposit success rates. They also offer Western Union and Money Gram to send cash if your credit card is declined.

You can sign up as a new player at Americas Card Room and claim a 100% match bonus up to $1000 on your first deposit. Americas Card Room is also one of only two USA accepted poker sites that offer a bad beat jackpot. Take a beating at the special bad beat tables and receive 30% of the jackpot if you take a beat bad. At the time of this post the jackpot is currently over $90,000. For more information see our bad beat jackpots page where we list the total jackpot breakdown as well as the terms and conditions.

See our Americas Card Room review for more details and to sign up and claim your bonus. The poker site runs on the popular Winning Poker Network and has good site traffic for real money cash games as well as tournaments.

Site Traffic Drops at Merge Network

March 2, 2026 – 1:52 pm

Site traffic continues to drop at the poker sites operating on the Merge Network. While we have always liked the software provided to the site by Merge, their continued trouble of getting deposits approved has really hit the USA online poker sites there hard. Most of the sites that operate on the Merge Network and allow USA players use the same cashier and the cashier is having severe trouble getting USA credit card approved. You can offer all the bells and whistles poker players look for but if they cannot make deposits it doesn't do any good.

We still recommend the sites that operate on the Merge Network especially PokerHost. They still have sucfient site traffic and is still the busiest USA network but you will not find the amount of sit n go's ready to kick off as you once would. If you are still able to get your deposits approved there really is not a reason to switch, and if you have not tried to make a deposit we recommend you try PokerHost. PokerHost has always been one of our best USA poker sites with outstanding customer service and the fastest withdraws. They also offer a reload bonus on every deposit. Check out our PokerHost review and receive a 150% match bonus up to $750 on your first deposit.

If your credit cards will not work on the Merge sites your next best bet is Bovada and BetOnline. Both have been in business for over a decade and do an excellent job getting USA credit card deposits approved. Bovada has the better site traffic of the two but if your looking for juicy games head over to BetOnline. Because the BetOnline poker room is still pretty new the majority of players were recruited from their sportsbook and casino. As a result you have some really inexperinced poker play at BetOnline. Check out our BetOnline poker review or the Bovada Poker review aand get your credit card deposits approved.

When the Merge Network cashier can once again get the credit card success rates they once had we will be sure to update that information here. They use to have outstanding credit card success rates and hope they will once again get back to that level.

Slow Pay at Lock Poker

March 13, 2026 – 9:33 pm

Lock Poker has always been one of our recommended online poker sites, however as of today we are warning players to avoid Lock until a recent cash out situation has been resolved. We have been waiting on a payout from Lock Poker for over 30 days. They ensure us that the payment will be made however 30 days (actually 43) is entirely too long to wait. We have never had a problem with Lock in the past and hope this will be resolved shortly but until it is we cannot recommend them.

If you want a similar USA online poker site that also operates on the Revolution Network check out Juicy Stakes. They offer a nice sign up bonus of a 200% match up to $2000 on your first deposit. They do a fairly good job getting Visa deposits approved and also accept cash transfers. For more information you can see our Juicy Stakes Poker review to claim your bonus.

Outside of the Revolution network we highly recommended Bovada and PokerHost. Bovada runs on their own network and has been in business since 2026. They have an outstanding reputation for easy deposits and fast payouts. They also offer a full online casino and sportsbook and you can use all three from just one account. See our Bovada Poker review for more details and claim a 100% match bonus on your first deposit up to $1000.

PokerHost is also a good choice for USA poker players. They run on the Merge Gaming Network and have the best site traffic of all USA sites. Claim a 150% match bonus up to $750 on your first deposit and a reload on every deposit thereafter. They also do a good job getting USA deposits approved and have the fastest payouts in the industry. See our PokerHost review to sign up or see a full listing of USA friendly poker sites to play at.

We hope our withdraw problems are resolved soon and Lock can provide a good explanation on why this delay occurred. We will update this post when and if this situation has been rectified but in the meantime we cannot recommend making a deposit at Lock Poker.

Merge Gaming Deposits

March 9, 2026 – 12:55 am

Finally the USA poker sites that use the Merge Gaming Cashier are once again accepting USA credit card deposits. It has been almost 45 days since the processor went down, but we happy to report we just successfully made a Visa deposit at Aced Poker.

The Merge Gaming poker sites we recommend are Aced Poker and Carbon Poker. Both use the same cashier so if your deposit works at one it will work at the other. Both are skins of the Merge Gaming Network and offer the exact same poker experience. If you do not have an account at Aced Poker yet, sign and receive a 150% match bonus up to $750. The other poker site we recommend that uses the Merge cashier is Carbon Poker but they only offer a 100% match bonus up to $600. If you are going to open a new account why not do it at Aced and receive a bigger bonus?

Aced Poker is once again doing a great job getting USA Visa deposits approved and offers a great online poker experience. Aced Poker has the best site traffic of all USA online poker sites and also offers the largest bad beat jackpot. Also find great features like Show 1 Card, Deal it Twice and Rabbit Hunting. See  our Aced Poker review for more details and to claim your bonus.

We hope the Merge cashier will continue to get USA deposits approved. We have always liked Aced but if you cannot get money into your account it really doesn't matter. They also offer Western Union as a deposit method but we prefer credit cards by far.
