The step that FullTilt Poker took was a simple one, but it
should help US residents be able to get around the UIGEA and get their
funds deposited into their FullTilt account. The popular and well known online poker site rebranded their Instant eCheck
option and instead made it a Quick Deposit option. This made no real changes to the function of this deposit method, but
the fact that it has been rebranded does allow for the continuation of this deposit method.
UIGEA has caused online poker rooms and US players to be more flexible
The UIGEA intended to make it more difficult for the US players. However, they may not be seeing the results they were
looking for due to the fact that there are so many options out there the US players can still use to deposit their funds.
Online poker sites like FullTilt will do their best to accommodate those US players and find a way around the UIGEA since
it means they will be able to retain those players. Online poker sites will of course want to do all they can in order to
be able to keep as many of their loyal players as possible.
