    This paper presents an algorithm for evaluating the probability of eventual ruin in a collective risk model. The method is based on Beekman's convolution series [see \textit{J. A. Beekman}, Premium calculation in insurance, NATO ASI Ser., Ser. C 121, 19-30 (1984; Zbl 0538.62089)] for the ruin probability. It is assumed that the claim number process is Poisson and the individual claim amounts take on integer values only.
