Poker Strategy - Newbie Article
Poker Deposit Options
In order to play for real money in the best poker rooms, you have to make at least a first deposit. The minimum deposit varies from $10 to $50, depending on the poker room. It would be very easy to do that, if we could just use our credit cards, but most card companies do not accept transfers to poker sites.
To fix this, the poker companies made deals with the best financial services online (sorry, the best except PayPal). All companies charge a small amount (usually from 1% to 3%) to make the transaction.
We will feature on this article the best options that we have tried and approved. Read below, and decide for yourself.
NETELLER. A company accepted in virtually all poker rooms. After the USA Gambling Legislation, Neteller had to withdraw from the american market, but it is still very strong worldwide, and working to get back to USA. They have a card verification process when you do your first deposits. You can sign up by clicking in the image above. If you want to get a 10% first deposit bonus, send an e-mail to help@theonlinepokerlife.com and ask for the Neteller bonus offer. Neteller currently does not accept poker transactions for USA users.
MONEYBOOKERS. A company located in the United Kingdom, with a very larger user base, mostly people from the european union. They have credit card deposit options and bank transfer for european users. Other users can only deposit using credit cards. To sign-up, click their logo above. They do not have sign up bonus promotions so far.
ENTROPAY. This is another United Kingdom company. It has a very easy-to-use, friendly interface. You can create a virtual VISA credit card, and use it to deposit in most poker rooms. Click their logo to know more. Entropay currently does not accept USA users.
