A better way to funding a online poker room!, lily, 8. Jul 2003 00:16

Hi,

I do not know how u guys funding the online gaming. Visa and Master cards seems no longer accept any online game transactions. Plus the extra fees for cash advance is not a wise choice to make any game profitable. Paypal may and maynot accept online gamings.

I used to use firepay (http: www.firepay.com) a lot for game transaction. The best of all is because the fund is available in realtime! The bad thing for them now is they will charge $10 fee for each cash out. :( (now they charge $1.5 fee for each deposit regardless of amount) (1.5 for $1000 deposit.. not too bad though)

Neteller, however, https://www.neteller.com is charging no fee right now for EFT. However, the fund deposit will be slow and takes about 4-5 business days, which is very painful when you are eager to join a table. They charge 8% for instant cash which is way a lot. The good part is: they can process cashout real quick. Typically within 1-2 business days.

So.. My idea is to funding the online gaming account with firepay and
cashout with neteller!! This will give you realtime access to the funds with a minumum cost on trasaction charges. However, both company needs a bank account for verification purpose which will needs 2-3 business days and needs to be done only one time.

Most online cashout system will fund back your money to the original source which make this option not likely to be reailistic. However, there is some exeptionals:

Party poker can allow deposit from www.firepay.com but do not have a option to cashout from firepay !!! That mean this will work perfectly with party poker for online game funds transfer.

They have a sign up promotion now for new members only.

20% up to $100 Extra on First Deposit with sign up code: 100CASH

$25 bonus for first deposit of $50! with sign up code: EASY25 (better for beginners)

http://www.partypoker.com/offers/signup_20_100_std.html

Certain raked hands needs to played to qualify for cashout.

This site have the most live players online (sometime>9000) and have mostly loose games. But during the morning times, (EST) the games becomes more tough and harder to beat. The gaming software is so so but the actions there make it a good place to go.

Paradisepoker.com have the best online gaming software. The interface is excellent and really feel like playing in a real poker room. They also have a 25% deposit bonus for up to $100. However, the rules changed for cashout qualification. The raked hands needed for play is much higher than party poker. 1000 raked hands need
to be played for $100 bonus: The player there is more tough and tight than party. Needs more patient and skill to beat the game but it's a good challenge.

Good Luck for u all@

after acheiving you bonus money or wanting to cash it out. transfer it back to whoever and transfer it into Planet poker. play around in ti for a fe days longer and the cash it out using p$e cash no fee and directly to your Online bank account in 18 or so hours
YMMV

When I opened an Ultimate Bet account I used the Citadel option and opend an account with them. It was VERY easy. But I haven't seen anywhere else you can use it. When I cashed out some winnings I took the long route by waiting 2 weeks to get a check from UB. But since I wasn't needing the money for anything it wasn't a big deal.

But why can't EVERYONE use PayPal??!?!!?!?!?

The one thing Poker Room has to its advantage (for me) is they accept PrePaid ATM. The PrePaid ATM is awesome as it is a secure account connected to an ATM card. So you cash out and go to a cash machine and get cash.

You will pay a small fee plus whatever the cash machine charges the account. Typically it costs $3 per transaction. PokerRoom absorbs the cost of transfer, so I just pay the vig when I go to the cash machine.

I wish some of the other rooms used this as well.

Because Ebay bought paypal and then decided that it would not allow paypal to be used for online wagering. The reason is fear of legal reprocussions.
