Best Way to deposit? with bonus, lily, 27. Jul 2003 05:16

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)

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.

I fund my account at UB with no fees at all using my bank card. Then I cash out through NetTeller-- also no fee. (Of course, the bank card is paid off first, which is convenient as it goes directly back into my poker bank account.)

What's your bank? I couldn't get my BofA Visa, Discover, or Credit Union Visa to work. I had to go through Epassporte and eat a $5 fee for $100 deposit.

It's Wells Fargo--but not a credit card.--It is a ATM/VISA debit card and takes the money directly from my account. I'm not sure if other sites have this "Credit/Debit" option, but UB does. It is instant and free and the other sites should get with the program.
