General Information
Click2Pay can be used as an e-wallet internationally (unfortunately no US citizens are accepted at the time being) but also offers the opportunity for direct access to your bank account. If you authorise Click2Pay and register your bank account or your credit card with them you can make money transactions without having to transfer it to your Click2Pay account prior to that. Keep in mind that Click2Pay will not charge any fees for transfers from your bank account but a 3% fee when using your credit card.

Payments and Transfers
You have the option to use Click2Pay as an e-wallet and transfer funds to your Click2Pay account. You can however also choose to simply access your bank account or your credit card directly via the Click2Pay interface. When choosing this option all your bank account transfers will be free of extra charges while your credit card's transactions will see a 3% fee.
Poker Payouts with Click2Pay
Most poker rooms offer the option to withdraw money from your poker account using Click2Pay. Once your money has been transferred to Click2Pay you can make a transaction to your bank account. You will have to wait for a few days until it actually appears there but this option is free of charge. Your other option is to let them send you a cheque. The fees are as follows:
- Bank account: free
- Cheque: €2.00 fee
The minimum amount that can be withdrawn generally is set at €20. In order to be able to withdraw from your Click2Pay account you will need a Star Rating of at least 2.
Tips and Hints Click2Pay Poker
Please be advised that some poker rooms will compare the e-mail address used in your poker account with the one that you used for Click2Pay. If these e-mail addresses do not match you may not be able to deposit money on your poker account using Click2Pay! Contact the poker room in question beforehand to make sure!
If you want to utilise your Click2Pay account primarily for depositing money into poker accounts you can choose US Dollars as your currency when playing mostly in poker rooms using $ (still the majority of them).
Transactions using your credit card will be charged with a fee of 3%. If you verify your bank account at Click2Pay you will be able to transfer funds without additional charges (your bank's usual fees for transfers may apply).
Once your account is set up and your personal information has been verified you will automatically receive a Star Rating of 2. That qualifies you for a weekly spending limit of €500 and also allows you to withdraw money from your Click2Pay account. You can apply for a higher Star Rating later.
There have been rumours about problems when trying to withdraw money. Some poker players opted for different methods to withdraw their money since then. On our request we got assured that withdrawals are running smoothly, the minimum amount being €20. Further investigations also showed no irregularities or problems.
Max Poker Bonus covers the most common deposit and withdrawal methods for UK online poker sites. Dutch poker players instead are advised to use iDeal to fund their poker accounts.
Live poker players on the other hand don't need this information, they can buy poker chips at the chip cage using real money, or simply with their credit cards.
In each case, live players don't have to worry about their information being safe like online poker players do, as security at brick and mortar casinos is always sup par.
