  1. Full Tilt Poker accepts players from the United States. Download their software by clicking the screen below:

    After downloading, install the software and set up an account using the Full Tilt Poker client.

    You'll also want to send an email to support@fulltiltpoker.com asking that MyWebATM be enabled in your cashier; be sure to include your user name in the email.

  2. MyWebATM is a virtual bank account with an associated physical ATM card; MyWebATM is a deposit and a withdrawal method that is accepted at Full Tilt Poker.

    You can load (deposit) funds into your MyWebATM account using a bank account that you link to your MyWebATM account; you can withdraw funds from your MyWebATM account directly into your linked bank account or at any ATM in the world using the physical ATM card that is associated with your account. There are fees for loading (depositing) funds, as well as for withdrawing funds; there is also a $3.95 monthly fee. Here is a link to all of the MyWebATM fees.

    Sign up for a MyWebATM account by clicking the screen below:

    Be prepared to supply some personal information to complete the application process, including your email address, Driver License number, current address, SSN, bank account number, bank account routing number. You will also need to answer about 3 identity verification questions, and load (deposit) at least $60 from your linked bank account to your MyWebATM account during the application process.

    Upon completing the MyWebATM application, you will get a confirmation email. This email will include a variety of information, with the main point being that a micro-deposit will be made from MyWebATM into the bank account that you provided during the application process. The deposit will be made in the next 2-3 business days. After 2-3 business days, verify that the deposits were made and the amount by calling your bank (or checking your account online, if you have that capability). Return to the MyWebATM site, log in, click the Funding Accounts link, and enter the micro-deposit amount. Assuming that you entered the correct amount, you will see a confirmation message that your initial load (deposit) will be available in your MyWebATM account in 2-3 business days. Check back to your MyWebATM account after 2-3 business days.

    Once the funds appear in your MyWebATM account, this account set-up process is complete, and you will be issued your MyWebATM account number. They will also mail you a physical ATM card; it should arrive in about a week. In the meantime, you can view your account number and expiration date by clicking the Balance link on the MyWebATM site.

    You will also want to click the Change TAV link on the MyWebATM site and enter a 3-digit number to use when making deposits at Full Tilt Poker using your MyWebATM account.

  3. Now, you're ready to make a deposit at Full Tilt Poker. Log into the Full Tilt Poker client. You'll see the screen below.

    Click the Cashier button, and you'll see the screen below.

    Click the Make A Deposit button, and you'll see the MyWebATM option on the subsequent page.

    (If you do not see the MyWebATM option, then send an email to support@fulltiltpoker.com asking that MyWebATM be enabled in your cashier; be sure to include your user name in the email.) Click MyWebATM, and enter your MyWebATM account number, expiration date, TAV, and deposit amount. Your deposit should be approved within 30 seconds, and you'll get a pop-up message in the Full Tilt Poker client telling you that the funds are in your Full Tilt Poker account.

  4. Play poker at Full Tilt Poker, and return to the Cashier and click the Withdrawal button when you're ready to withdraw funds from your Full Tilt Poker account to your MyWebATM account. The withdrawal request is usually processed within several hours.
  5. Once the funds are in your MyWebATM account, you can withdraw the funds at an ATM, or transfer the funds directly into your linked bank account. Again, both of these methods carry a fee.

Good luck at the tables!
