3 Card Poker is Everyone's Three Card Poker Game
Everyone knows something about Poker. Even if you have little Poker experience, you have a general idea of what Poker is and how it is played. In the United States, at the very least, Poker is one of those games played weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc., by groups of families, friends, co-workers, colleagues - whatever. 3 Card Poker is one of many variants of the Poker game, all of which can be found at online casinos in every corner of the netterwebs and it is one of the fastest-growing online Poker fandoms. 3 Card Poker is, as one might expect, a variant of Poker played with three cards, and based on two different plays from which the player may choose either or both. These plays are called pairplus and ante-and-play. In the first, the player places a bet on the cards and receives a payout for any hand of a pair or better. In the second, the player places a bet on the cards before the cards are even dealt. But in order to even be able to enjoy a game of 3 Card Poker, a player may have his casino accounting practices in order and this is where eCheck comes in.
eCheck for the 3 Card Poker Player
eCheck is, as the name might indicate, a kind of electronic check. A Canadian service, it is a service that works as a sort of online debit payment system, which might register in some minds as an electronic check (hence the name). The system itself is somewhat complicated, but is explained in detail - pictures and all - on the company's website. Once the player elects to use eCheck to finance online 3 Card Poker, the payment itself goes through the Authorize.Net Payment gateway, which serves as an intermediate confirmation service between bank and casino; the gateway works to ensure that the payment comes from the correct source and is delivered to the correct destination. Authorize.Net sends the customer's payment through its own bank and determines and confirms the details of the bank from which the payment for the 3 Card Poker account is to be taken. The player's bank account is then debited for the deposit to the casino account. The funds then go back to the Authorize.Net bank, which does another check and then, after a short confirmation period, the payment is delivered to its destination. That's it in a nutshell, but, as previously mentioned, a more detailed explanation is available, complete with a diagram of the cycle, on the eCheck website. Hence, it is like a form of electronic check because it takes the funds for the deposit to the customer's casino account (or refund to a bank account) directly from the player's bank account, like a check (or also a debit card). However, the numerous checks and confirmations, and the holding period, are similar to the way a check must be validated when used as payment in a store. The player, of course, never sees any of the steps in between because they happen out of sight. The player only knows that he or she chose the eCheck payment option and then, a short time later, the payment went through. That's the joy of electronic payment methods; they're usually quick and easy, just like that.
