Best payment option for me?, squidbot, 30. Dec 2003 23:57
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
So I've decided to play at Poker Stars, but I'm totally at a loss to decide which payment method to use. I'm in Canada and my druthers would be to fund with my Visa card, I'm a little leary about hooking in to my chequing account. What would be my best bet? Netteller and FirePay seem the best option of the five, what are the pros and cons of each?

Thanks!

PS - I'm starting small, probably not more than $100, if that makes a difference.

I'm also in Canada and I use Neteller. I don't usually use the electronic transfer function because the conversion rate they give you is usually worse than what you would get at a bank (around 2% works). So I usually have them mail me a check. The check usually arrives two days after I request it.

I've had zero problems with using my credit card, and I've done it on all major sites. Although now that I have an established bankroll I simply move money around via Neteller...

Either way you should be fine,

Good times,
