Poker players living in the United Kingdom now have another option to fund their accounts, thanks to British company MyPokerCard's product: the prepaid Gold MasterCard.

Their card works like a regular prepaid credit card, but it has the advantage that it does not actually exposes the owner's bank details. According to their site, you can "play online poker without ever having to register your bank account or credit card details online."

The company claims that it has instant and 100% acceptance for all UK applicants. The customers can reload for up to £500 a day and they can do that by going to one of the 12,000 post offices located throughout UK. This reload method is done on the spot, but there is also the posibility of doing an online transfer, which can take between one and two days.

A MyPokerCard spokesman told PokerNewsDaily that they intend on bringing this product to people across the world: "Currently, the MyPokerCard is available for residents of the U.K., but we are looking to expand to the worldwide market."

The prepaid Gold MasterCard can also be used when shopping online and is accepted in all locations where MasterCard is accepted.
