Thanks for playing at Absolute Poker. As you prepare to hit the tables, we’d like to quickly inform of some changes, for US customer, regarding payment methods.

Recently, a number of payment service providers have decided to stop allowing transactions for US customers with Absolute Poker. It is important to note that this is NOT a problem with Absolute Poker or the service we will continue to provide you as a poker player. Your funds are 100% safe and secure at Absolute Poker and are held separately in a leading European financial institution. Any time you make a deposit, your funds are held specifically for you and are never mixed with operational funds.

Because of the recent exit of these payment providers (Instadebit, Nexus & Central Coin) there may be some temporary inconveniences that we would like to take the opportunity to explain and apologize for. Please read below for the FACTS about payment solutions at Absolute Poker:

InstaDebit:

FACT: As of Thursday, January 18, 2007, InstaDebit has chosen to stop allowing transactions to be deposited from US customers.

FACT: InstaDebit will allow two weeks for Absolute Poker to process withdrawals to customers within the United States.

FACT: InstaDebit’s decision to abandon the U.S. market is also the result of factors related to their internal operations.

Nexum and Central Coin:

FACT: As of Thursday, January 18, 2007, Nexum and Central Coin have chosen to stop processing transactions for US customers.

FACT: Nexum and Central Coin have made this choice as a result of factors relating to their internal operations.

However, life here at AbsolutePoker.com goes on as normal and we are pleased to offer you a 100% reload bonus to a maximum of $500 on your next deposit when using either Visa or MasterCard, using the bonus code RDB1

See you at the tables.
