usa pokerUSA NETeller Alternatives
Recently, a number of payment service providers have decided to stop allowing online gaming transactions for US customers. As of Wednesday, January 17, 2007, NETeller has chosen to stop allowing transactions to be processed for US customers. The highly popular online payment processor has completely stopped allowing Americans to transfer funds between their NETeller account and online poker rooms. Following NETeller's lead, smaller payment processors InstaDebit, Nexum and Central Coin have also stopped allowing US transactions.

NETeller's departure from the US gaming market was extremely sudden and caught most online poker rooms off guard - and consequently American gamblers have had a difficult time depositing at most Internet poker rooms & casinos during the past several months. In 2006 NETeller accounted for almost half of all American online gambling deposits, and it's departure from the US market has left a major shortage of deposit methods for American poker players. Online poker rooms are continuing to fix this shortage, and every day now brand new poker deposit methods for Americans are being introduced - deposit methods that make funding an online poker account easier than ever for US players!

This website helps USA online poker players in two ways:

#1 - We list online poker rooms & casinos that are still accepting USA players

#2 - We list USA poker deposit methods (as well as the online poker rooms that accept each payment option)


This website is dedicated to every serious American poker player who isn't willing to give up his or her right to play poker; a truly American pastime. Check back often for updates!

Canadian NETeller Alternatives
As of April 9, 2007, NETeller will no longer allow Canadian citizens to deposit or withdraw from gambling sites. This recent withdrawal from the Canadian gaming market had nothing to do with Canadian laws, the Canadian government, or the perceived legality of poker in Canada. Instead the decision was simply a "precautionary move" made by NETeller, since the company is Canadian based and owns a large amount of Canadian real estate. This being said, every single online poker room continues to happily accept Canadians. Canadian poker players, however, will no longer be able to use Neteller as a deposit method and will now have to use various NETeller alternatives instead. For more information see our Canadian NETeller Alternatives page.

There are lots of ways to deposit into Internet poker sites quickly, safely & easily! One method that is quickly growing amongst poker players is PrePaid Gift Cards & Credit Cards:

Gift2Go Gift Cards - go to the local department or grocery store and look for Gift2Go prepaid gift cards (they have the "Visa" logo on the card). Using these gift cards you can immediately fund your poker account at pretty well any poker room (I have personally done it successfully at PokerStars & AbsolutePoker). These cards are everywhere, I bought mine at Walgreens but I've seen them at tons of different stores. This works just like any Visa transaction but does not get declined like most regular Visa cards from US residents. It costs $3.99 for a card and I believe you can get them up to $250. I've also heard $500 but haven't seen those. If you need to deposit more, buying multiple cards works like a charm (obviously you'll need to pay the $3.99 on each one, but that fee is WAY less than Neteller's 8.9% InstaCash fee). When depositing at a poker room with a 'Gift 2 Go' gift card, deposit in the same manner you would with a Visa credit card! Go to Deposit -> Credit Card -> VISA and enter your card number exactly how you would if it were a normal VISA card!

Prepaid VISA (WARNING: not guarenteed to work!) - you can also go to any bank and get prepaid Visa cards that work at poker rooms exactly like the Gift2Go gift cards above, only you can load way more money at a time. You can easily load money onto your prepaid Visa in the same way you'd pay off your normal credit card - online banking, direct deposit, Western Union, etc. Most of these prepaid Visa cards allow you to load up to $2,500 at once rather than buying a card for a pre determined amount. Most Payday Loan companies now carry these cards now, but they do cost about $9.99 to buy and some have other fees attached (although they are very minor). I have tried this method successfully at PokerStars with a prepaid Visa I purchased at SunTrust, however, I have heard from several different people that this DID NOT work for them, so I would strongly recommend the Gift2Go cards over prepaid Visas since the Gift2Go cards are guarenteed to work!

What is a VISA Debit Card?
VISA Debit Cards are pre-paid re-loadable stored value cards that can be funded online using a Visa or MasterCard and can be used to make purchases wherever Visa is accepted. Every player that registers for a VISA Debit Card at PokerStars is mailed a physical VISA Debit Card free of charge. Once you've received your mailed card, you can use it to withdraw cash from any ATM on the PLUS network.

How do I load a VISA Debit Card?
All VISA Debit Cards are issued by a trusted third party processor. A VISA Debit Card can be loaded using a Visa or a MasterCard from within the Visa Debit Card supplier's web site. Both Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode are employed by the VISA Debit Card issuer to ensure safe and secure transactions.

How can I make purchases at PokerStars using a VISA Debit Card?
Once you've signed up for a VISA Debit Card and loaded funds into it, just visit the PokerStars Cashier screen and click on "Buy Chips". Select the "VISA" button and then on the "Deposit" button. The VISA deposit screen will be displayed. Just fill in your VISA Debit Card number, the CVN and expiry date you were given when you registered for your VISA Debit Card. Your request will be processed immediately.

What are the deposit limits for VISA Debit Cards?
The beginning PokerStars deposit limits for VISA Debit Cards are:
US $10 - minimum purchase
US $500 - maximum amount to purchase within 24 hours
US $1,500 - maximum amount to purchase within 7 days
US $2,000 - maximum amount to purchase within 30 days

What about my cashouts?
You may use your VISA Debit Card to receive your cashouts. You do not need to make a deposit before cashing out to your VISA Debit Card. All you have to do to begin receiving cashouts is sign up for a VISA Debit Card through the PokerStars Cashier.

How do I withdraw money from my VISA Debit Card?
You can withdraw cash from any ATM on the PLUS network once you've received your physical VISA Debit Card in the mail. You can also use your VISA Debit Card to make deposits, pay bills or shop anywhere VISA is accepted.

What will it cost me to use a VISA Debit Card at PokerStars?
There are no fees for using a VISA Debit Card at PokerStars. Players are responsible for any fees charged by the issuer of their VISA Debit Card, including load and withdrawal fees.

Visit PokerStars now and see for yourself how amazing this new deposit method really is!!!




DuplicatePoker.com offers a variation on traditional Texas Hold'em and is classified as a game of skill, but even still American Express is no longer allowing Duplicate Poker to accept transactions. This is absolutely crazy in my opinion considering Duplicatepoker is considered a skill poker site, just because the word poker is involved doesn't mean it's gambling! A lot of poker players have trouble making Internet gambling deposits with their AMEX card which is why I suggest everyone uses the new electronic cheques available at www.PokerStars.com! While you register at Stars be sure to use a poker stars marketing code to get the maximum bonus available at the poker site! Another great poker room with tons of deposit options for United States residents (including illegal Mexican immigrants) is www.FullTiltPoker.com and if you register there use a full tilt poker referral code which will get you $600 free at the poker room.

Random Ramblings about Neteller Alternatives

My favorite deposit method used to be FirePay - FirePay casinos and FirePay online casinos where everywhere, but now Firepay does not allow USA gamblers. FirePay poker rooms are still very popular, especially in Europe and Canada. InstaDebit Casinos are still fairly popular, as are InstaDebit poker sites. MasterCard casinos are everywhere and a lot of US Mastercards work at online casino and poker rooms. MasterCard poker sites number in the dozens, along side Moneybookers casinos and Moneybookers poker sites! I do MoneyGram also, and it's fine for me--although I chuckled at the mention of Wal-Mart. Where I live (suburbs of NYC), the only MoneyGram locations are to be found in the PokerStars.net/CFL most undesirable neighborhoods...have to be buzzed in to the store, bulletproof glass for the girls working behind the counter, and English is very definitely the second (or even maybe third) language spoken there. For small deposits it probably wouldn't be practical, but for larger deposits and withdrawals, you can just FedEx a cashier's check and receive checks. For checks over $1000, stars will FedEx the check and it takes 4-5 business days. For deposits, it takes 1-2 days. The cost to poker deposit methods FedEx something to PS is about $60. They don't charge for FedExing you the check (so far). I think this is probably cheaper than epassporte and there isn't any danger of your funds being frozen, other than by PS itself. Makes me feel like I'm doing something criminal, even though I'm not. Certainly too much work for the average fish, sadly.

Internet Casino that are often using such things that a Poker Room, Poker Site or Sports Book would use in their game, most often Black Jack, can sometimes cause a problem when you deposit. We have written a review of the payment method for every major slots site or online casinos that use these deposit options. If you are looking for a bonus, you'll want to look at our e wallet and ewallet merchant reviews. There are a lot of merchants that accept credit card payments even in the usa. Some of these sites even have no download games so Linux poker players and Mac poker players can participate too, I love e gold and appreciate feedback for my signup at any safe Internet poker room with good payouts. I often withdraw and care a lot about withdrawal method and deposit methods. I tried to use pay pal for my poker account but in 2005 there was an update for cash laws at microgaming, names of major poker rooms. You can play flash casino games in the folowing countries: canada, australia, england, UK, sweden, norway, germany, finland, france, italy, spain, russia, payment, processing, transfer, software, debit card, taking, Internet, instant, exchange, currency, betting, gambling, sports, bank transfer, direct transfer, bank wire!

Watch for major online poker deposit methods such as 900pay. 900pay casinos and 900pay poker rooms account for a good chunk of the online poker neteller alternatives, as do bank draft casinos and bank draft poker sites. I looked for citadel commerce casinos the other day, but citadel casinos can be hard to find. Citadel poker sites are tough to find too, but click2pay casinos and click2pay poker rooms are often much easier to find. EcoCard casinos are very popular, and there is even a few EcoCard poker sites around too! I used to prefer ePassporte casinos and ePassporte poker sites but now eWalletXpress casinos and eWalletXpress poker sites are growing like crazy! There are several alternatives for using NETeller to fund and withdraw from an online casino account. My favorite poker links has got to be Free Internet Poker! Understandably, there are several startup payment processors existing on the Web, having neither the history or credibility to substantiate their claims of service. All of the following NETeller alternatives are established and reputable payment processors using the same security standards as the world's leading financial institutions. Secure Socket Layer firewalls and 128-bit encryption technology serve to protect all euro poker promo code personal details and financial transactions made between source funding accounts, online casino accounts and the eWallet's themselves.

We think that UKash casinos and UKash poker sites will do as wellas UseMyBank Casinos and UseMyBank Poker rooms have done! Visa casinos are top notch for USA Neteller Alternatives, but Visa poker sites are a good bet too! AMEX Casinos should work well, AMEX cards work at poker sites all the time for Americans. AmericanExpress Casinos are top notch, so are American Express Poker rooms. Wire Transfer casinos and wire transfer poker rooms kick ass as well! I'd never use 1Pay Casinos or 1Pay Poker rooms nor would I use CentralCoin casinos or CentralCoin poker rooms either! ACH Casinos and ACH poker sites work well as Neteller Alternatives and ClickandBuy poker sites plus ClickandBuy casinos are great! EZIPay casinos and EZIPay poker sites PokerStars.net/Portugues are almost as good as Nexum casinos and eCheck or PayTru casinos. OnDemand Funds, WebMoney & PrePaid ATM, NetPay Poker and PrePaid ATM all are excellent! A decent site is poker players place but it can be very hard to understand (it's complicated).

Online forums, casino and poker support lines are bombed with questions like these: Which poker rooms accept e-Checks from US players? Can US residents still play at casinos online? Do MoneyBookers, Click2pay, ePassporte, eWalletXpress and Central Coin still accept US players? I live in California. Is it legal to Play Pocker or else you should always play poker online? I received this message, "US customers can not do business with Gaming sites". What does it mean? I deposited my casino account with Neteller for years, but last time I could not deposit. with Neteller. Is Neteller still open to US customers? Can US players transfer money with Neteler? What are the Neteller alternatives? I used use to MoneyBookers, but last time an ugly pop-up appeared with big NO-NO. What is going on? Is Neteller still accepting deposits for online poker and casino? What are casinos that accept credit cards?

These are just a small sample, but you get the point - people from the US are confused. The reason is the recent gambling bill passed in October which prevents financial companies from dealing with online gambling. So currently, every online casino and poker provider is trying to decide how to deal with new legal situation. We are monitoring the situation and update this page to inform our customers on the recent changes.

Payment Methods that are NOT Available for US Customers PayPal PayPal does not accept gambling transactions at Texas Holdum all. Read more about PayPal and online gambling. FirePay The FireOne Group, provider of the FirePay electronic wallet, officially stopped accepting gambling transactions from US customers. Read the FireOne official announcement for details. Instadebit Instadebit stopped US gambling transactions January 19, 2007. No official statement available yet, but many players already have problems, trying to deposit money to the casino accounts with Instadebit. Neteller On January 18, 2007 Neteller suspended its US online gambling service. US-Based players can not open new Neteller accounts and transfer funds to and from gambling sites. All US members will continue to be able to use their NETELLER e-wallet account to safely transfer funds to and from non-gambling merchants and are not required to close their account or withdraw their funds. All US members and non-US members will continue to be able to use their NETELLER e-wallet account for safe online transfers to and from non-gambling merchants, secure peer-to-peer transfers and NETELLER Card withdrawals at ATMs around the world.

know you are all worried about the eWallet situation. What will happen with Neteller? Will ePassporte last? Can MyWebATM be trusted and will it last? What will be with Youteller? On and on. This is of course all valid, but of much more concern are the ACH/EFT networks. As you know these networks are used by all the eWallets to move your money to and from the pokersites. These networks are closely controlled and monitored. Very little gets by them. And to be cut off from these networks is death to any eWallet. Furthermore, despite what you may have heard, it is actually extremely easy to monitor and block transactions to and from poker, or any gambling site. With the huge amount of money transactions done by any eWallet serving the pokersites that wallet sticks out like a sore thumb to the monitors and can easily be blocked from doing any financial transactions to and from the sites. There is no way for the eWallets to avoid this. So the real questions here are: 1.) how long can any eWallet last now that we are in this new post UIGEA environment? ; 2.) How much risk are you willing to take moving your cash in and out of every new eWallet that springs up? ; 3.)How much worse will it get when the UIGEA really kicks in this June?

According to the research we've made Neteller decision to leave US market is final and Neteller will not process casino gambling transactions in USA any more. US players are advised to switch to another e-wallet solution from the list above. This one doesn't make sense: PPA & PokerPlayersAllegiance "Myth #6. I can net my wins and my losses. Unless you’re a professional, the sum of your winning sessions are Other Income (line 21, Form 1040); your losing sessions, up to the amount of your winning sessions, are an itemized deduction taken on Schedule A. Professionals do get to net their results and file using Schedule C (Profit or Loss From Business). Professionals, though, must pay self-employment tax on their net income, at 15.3% of the first $94,000 of net income, and 2.9% above this (2006 numbers). While half of the self-employment tax is a deduction (line 27 of Form 1040), unless the professional earns a substantial six-figure income, he can pay more in tax." So say a player plays ~5/10 NL 500,000 hands in year. Is he supposed to declare that he won $4,000,000 and lost $3,500,000? That is just rediculous. How the heck would you even keep track of all this? I mean yea you might have PT, but when you play on a different computer/different site? Citadel and myCitadel They also announced its official exit from the US on January 17,2007. ESI Entertainment Systems Inc. official statement may be found here. I just saw this too, I doubt anyone has any experience with this processor to answer you question. Post Extras: KEW addict , or there i to resource, Online Pokr. Chech them out when u have a chance!

Two slight problems The UK FSA is on neteller alternativesbrink of severe embarrassment because neteller alternativesparent company of Neteller UK, which it authorises, has been characterised as a "vast criminal enterprise" - it is most likely ignoring neteller alternativessituation as it does not have direct jurisdiction over Neteller's US business. However, it is unlikely to allow another company that it authorises to do the same thing. The authorisation that neteller alternativescompany has, is severely limited and there is no possibility of this organisation solving the poker funding crisis. I don't think they can have any US customers. This is the limit of their activity: Small E-Money Issuer Certificates at Pocker Stars Issuing e-money is a regulated activity under article 9B of the Regulated Activities Order (RAO). Under articles 9C to 9G of the RAO, the holder of a small e-money issuer is excluded from the regulated activity of issuing e-money. The FSA will only grant a small e-money issuer certificate if any one or more of the criteria set out in article 9C are met. These PartyPocker are: e-money issued to consumers is subject to a storage amount of €150 and the total e-money issued is limited to €5m; e-money issued to consumers is subject to a storage amount of €150, the total e-money issued is limited to €10m and only issued for use by connected parties; and e-money issued to consumers is subject to a storage amount of €150, the total e-money issued is limited to €10m and only issued for use within a limited geographic area. This publicity is most likely an attempt to hype the value of the company. There are two cards. One is "virtual" and can be used to shop online and on neteller alternatives phone. One is usa depoist method plastic card that can be used at an ATM. Doesn't look like you can go back and forth between Wirecard and your bank. I'm assuming that option is going to be off the table for all e-wallets for the forseeable future.

How long will it be before I receive my MoneyGram ExpressPayment deposit? MoneyGram payments can only be processed between the hours of 7:15 AM and 3:00 AM Eastern Time, Monday through Sunday. As long as you provide the correct information on your MoneyGram ExpressPayment form, and you send the same amount of money that you submitted with your deposit request in the PokerStars Cashier, your transfer will arrive and will be credited to your PokerStars account balance in approximately 30 minutes.

Ronnie: Hello Darcy, this is Ronnie from VIP. Ronnie: Due to an internal business decision, as of March 26th, 2007, InstaCASH will no longer be a deposit option for Canadian NETELLER members. Effective April 9th, 2007, Canadian NETELLER members will no longer be able to transfer funds to or from any online gambling sites. Darcy: hello Darcy: yes Ronnie: which website are you trying to transfer it to Darcy: the problem is i am trying to do a regular transfer from neteller to party (not instaCASH) and it says it will not allow me because of my location Darcy: www.partypoker.com Ronnie: To our knowledge, partypoker.com is no longer a merchant of NETeller. Darcy: odd, it is still listed as an option on their deposit screen Darcy: perhaps they just havent disabled it Ronnie: We are trying to find out more information in regards to that matter at this time, sorry for the inconvenience. I'm Canadian. At this point, I don't trust Neteller at all. I know what happened to their American customers. Not sure I want to risk leaving anything with Neteller or even attempting a withdrawal from them. Should I wait till after apr 9 and request a bank wire or cheque from the merchant instead? Currently my Neteller account is 0. Merchants have a rule of deposit by Neteller means you have to withdraw by Neteller. I might have to wait till after Apr 9. I don't trust Neteller at all after what they did to their American customers!

OK, time to end all this speculation, and start a proper eWallet list. I already see quite a bit of incorrect information in other threads. This is by no means comprehensive, and needs some work, but it's a start: Neteller - NO Firepay - NO myCitadel - NO Moneybookers - AP, b2b, Party, UB, Everest, iPoker, Microgaming (some), OnGame, Pacific, WSEX Click2Pay - AP, UB, Crypto (some), Everest, iPoker, Microgaming (some), OnGame, Boss (some), FT Eco Card - My pending ACH withdrawal with a prima site was rejected after a month and I was told that eco card would be my best option to cashout. Anybody have any experience with it? Any kind of fees for cashouts or deposits? You can do transfers to your bank, right? How long do these take usually take? Thx for any help. ePassporte - AP, Stars, UB, FT ATMOnline - UB EcoCard - iPoker, Microgaming (some) I checked all of these networks: AP, b2b, Party, Stars, UB, Paradise (none), Crypto (not all the same), Everest, iPoker, Microgaming (not all the same), OnGame, Boss (not all the same), FT, Pacific, WSEX. This covers many of the major sites. I did this either by logging in, or checking their websites. It seems, contrary to popular belief, that Moneybookers is WIDELY used, right up there with Click2Pay. I have NOT used any of these services myself. Some payment methods show up on poker room websites that they exclude US...I did not see a similar note for Canadians for any of the methods above. Hopefully they all work for us. I'd like to see us refine this list, so if anyone has any other information to add, or corrections to make, post them here and we can update this list. To make a long story short I experienced a combination of the following in the past year:

#4 SportsBook.com/Poker (8.8) SportsBook Poker is extremely devoted to USA poker players - infact, they are so dedicated to USA poker that they only allow American players! The reason most players choose to play here is because they can successfully deposit with their USA credit cards (your Mastercard, VISA or AmericanExpress credit card won't work at 99% of online poker rooms, but it'll more than likely work here at Sportsbook.com Poker!). This isn't the only perk of playing here, however, they also offer players a 100% deposit bonus, and they are hosting a massive $100,000 freeroll very soon! USA Deposit Methods - ePassporte - Bank Draft - USA Credit Cards Actually Work Here (NEW) - SportsBook Poker has some how figured out how to successfully process USA credit card deposits. American credit cards never work at online poker rooms (atleast not at the 25-30 poker rooms I've tried) yet both my Mastercard & VISA worked here! I've had 7 friends attempt to deposit with a total of 11 different credit cards, and all but two of the deposits were successful. An industry insider told me that Sportsbook.com Poker is currently successfully processing more than 70% of all USA credit card deposits! I've also noticed that they've began promoting their poker room with the phrase "use your credit card to play poker", see example banner below: So I tried loading my ePassporte account as I have in the past with my Wells Fargo debit card and the transaction was declined. I called Wells Fargo, and after talking to different WF reps for 30 minutes, I finally got the answer. WF has blocked ePass because of too many reports of fraudulent charges and claims. Now what? I hate the idea of giving MyWebATM so much personal info. PokerStars cashouts and Full Tilt Poker withdrawals are very easy. Optoin 5: Don't pay taxes for poker/Pay late. I would like to keep house, so I do not want to sell it. I know I practiced irresponsible financial planning and financial management. Please spare the lectures and berating. I am looking for advice.

Arg, I wrote a long post in the "new" forums and now it's gone. Anyway, I wanted to try to assemble a thread that summarizes current US funding options, primarily regarding Stars & Tilt. Please add to or correct this. --- Cashouts : Checks : generally the cleanest way to cash out, no fees, 7-20 days. Visa debit card : you can cash out to payTru or ePassporte and use a visa debit card to make purchases or withdraw from an ATM. There are large fees associated with this but some people may like the convenience. Wire Transfers : reportedly very slow at the moment --- Deposits : ePassporte : it takes 7-20 days to set up a connection to your bank, but once it's set up transfers are very fast. The fee is 5% . If you get a debit card there's an additional $30 plus other fees. payTru visa debit : this is the new option Stars is pushing. You can cash in instantly and transfer to stars. Loading is a 4% fee. WARNING : loading from your credit card may also cause a cash advance fee on your credit card depending on your card. If you keep any balance or use it for withdrawals there are lots of other fees; Stars recommends using them only for loading. IRS just doesn't notice I know other people have had success with these wires, but maybe if any Stars people read here they can rattle the cages. Cliff notes: 2/15: I request 20k wire 2/20: Get phone call to confirm info and $20k deducted from my account at Stars, told it will take 2-5 business days for money to hit my bank account. 3/5: After three emails from me asking what happened, Stars says the account info I proveded was invalid so they could not process the wire. I check what I sent Just deposited to Party with UseMyBank and the deposit went through no problems. It was debited from my bank account just like a regular debit transaction with no fee applied. Party takes care of all the exchange rates. My only complaint is that all the forms took some time to fill out, but other than that, it was processed instantly. Apologies if there has already been a thread. MoneyGram : fast option for stars once you go to a MoneyGram location in person. $9.95 flat fee up to $2500 makes this a low-cost option for big loads. Visa Gift Cards : apparently the "Gift2Go" (aka "IDT") visa gift card available at Walgreens works for loading. The fee is $6 for a $250 card which is 2.4% ; WARNING : purchasing with your credit card may count as a cash advance. Other VISA/debit cards : some ordinary visa check or debit cards will also work, it's up to the visa issuer whether they refuse or not. Calling your issuer may help. Apparently people have good luck with this using cards from small local banks. Cards tied to a checking account are available for a 0% fee which makes this the very best option if you have it.

Moneybookers - AP, b2b, Party, UB, Everest, iPoker, Microgaming (some), OnGame, Pacific, WSEX Click2Pay - AP, UB, Crypto (some), Everest, iPoker, Microgaming (some), OnGame, Boss (some), FT ePassporte - AP, Stars, UB, FT ATMOnline - UB EcoCard - iPoker, Microgaming (some) EU currency? So we have to take neteller alternatives *terrible* dollar-euro exchange rate on neteller alternatives chin? No thanks. That borders on a scam for them to do that, unless I'm missing something. On second thought, when we deposit back into Full Tilt, will it all cancel each other out? Meaning, go back to the same amount of dollars you deposited into wirecard? Confusing ...

So I had the USD account, and needed th CAD account. So I opened a new one in CAD. I then tried to verify the account. Well im at school in the USA. Therefore, I cannot verify second account and have the funds transferred over. First account is now closed. I cant fix anything until I am back in Canada. I go to school in Michigan so being in Canada wont be a problem. However, the first account has my old home address near toronto. My parents have moved since then so i entered their new address, which is on Vancouver Island. The address on my driver's license differs from both of these addresses. Like an idiot I had my entire roll on neteller. I will be back in Canada next week. Wish me luck!

Go to https://www.allaccessgift.com/ Type in your zipcode. Buy a Visa All Access Gift Card from one of the locations (call first) It MUST say NetSpend on the card (somewhere on the corner). My brother got a $250 card for $255. Go to the above website, enter the card # and 3 digit CVV code on the back of the card. Register the card with the SAME first name, last name, zip code that you used in the poker site. Now you can go to your poker site and do a CC deposit (it might be under another deposit method but I think it's CC method). By brother got it on his FullTilt account in about 30 seconds. Ya gotta give it 30 seconds so don't fret. Note if you want to withdraw, you need to deposit at least $50 in the SAME manner in which you deposited.

Other notes: --$4 ATM withdrawal fee charged by Paytru. I thought they had dropped this to $2 (mentioned in a previous thread) --I Did Not change my Pin number. The paper that the card is attached too when it comes in the mail says call or log in to change your pin to use your card. I thought this was redundant as I already changed the PIN when I signed up.

When George Danzer loses on the river with his two pair and comes back, he says "OK its time to have fun." and I said, "What? you're not having fun?" That was it.... but it was great. Soooooooo.... I gotta go back. And if that means I gotta drop a grand or two on satellites, well it is cheaper than the $10k buy in.

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was passed last November by Bill Frist as a rider on the Ports Security Bill. Even though Democrats spoke loudly against it (especially Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank) they couldn't vote against it because it was a rider on such an important bill. Frist and Senator Kyl said that it was necessary to "protect our children" from internet gambling. Warning #2 - NETeller ====================== We have received numerous reports of NON USA Players waiting on checks from NETeller for more than 4 weeks. We also have received reports from several operators stating NETeller claims to have sent them wires, yet after 3 weeks wires have not been received. These same operators, also state that NETeller has ignored all their requests for clarification as to the status and whereabouts of their funds. The facts along with NETellers action seem to indicate the end is near for them.

We urge all our members to withdraw any funds held with NETeller as soon as possible so as to avoid finding themselves in the same boat as the people and businesses providing us these reports. We also strongly suggest all our US members contact the FSA in the UK to file formal copmplaints A complete guide to filing a complaint with the FSA may be found I've been really hesitant to seek options to Neteller as I'm hoping they stick around for the long haul. Now I'm getting leary. PokerStars began a limited roll-out of a new funding method for its customers yesterday, testing pre-paid VISA debit cards with 5,000 players. Strangely, however, PokerStars did not tell people that the funding method is only available to certain customers, which has caused much confusion on internet message boards. Customers can signup for the cards from the PokerStars cashier. There is no fee to signup and all customers will receive a physical debit card in the mail. Even before the card is in hand, as long as a customer has created the pre-paid VISA account, the account can be used to both deposit funds into and receive cash outs from their PokerStars account.

Post Extras: Alfonse D'Amato tapped as Chairman of the Poker Players Alliance by Wendeen H. Eolis filed under Poker News Alfonse D'Amato

Did NETELLER stop allowing Canadian members to make fund transfers with online gambling sites? With a recent review of its service to Canadian members, NETELLER announced that members who reside in Canada will no longer be able to transfer funds to and from online gambling sites. Read the most recent press release. When is the last day that I can transfer funds with an online gambling site? On April 9, 2007 all transfers to and from online gambling sites will be disabled for Canadian members. Why did NETELLER make this decision? NETELLER decided to cease online gambling transactions for Canadian members due to increased uncertainty about the status of certain activities related to online gambling in Canada. How do I know if I am a Canadian member? If your registered address with NETELLER is located in Canada, you are considered a Canadian member and all of the changes indicated here apply to you.

Alfonse D'Amato The key players continue to jockey for position in timing the announcements to various media, but the die has been cast; former New York Senator Alfonse D'Amato has been tapped to sit as the Chairman of the Poker Players Alliance. The PPA has grand plans, on behalf of an outraged poker community, to fight for a poker exemption to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. This legislation attempts to end online betting by American-based players Washington State Summary: HB 1243 makes there be no crime to play online poker for recreational purposes. HB 2127 changes the felony part of the law into a misdemeanor. After talking with lawmakers, it appears that HB 1243 is not going to get a chance because Representative Steve Conway (head of the Commerce and Labor committee) will not allow it to be discussed. HB 2127 (which was introduced much later than HB 1243) already has a hearing date set - Febuary 16th at 3pm. In my opinion, we should continue to push for HB 1243 - because it is the right law. However, we might just have to "take whatever we can get" on this front - which would be HB 2127.

Or is there something better to use right now? Should Canadians be thinking about using a different "e-wallet" to easily deposit/withdraw? The PPA is putting big chips in the pot with expectations that Mr. D’Amato can turn the tide and re-secure the freedom for adults to play poker in pajamas— with a cyberspace seat in the comfort of their homes. Another eco card success - Setup my account, withdrew $5K from Prima, AFter fees, $4970 hit my bank account this morning. Took about 10 days, including the weekend plus presidents day (banks closed). Are a US resident... DO NOT put any money into FTP. There is no effective way of cashing out any money as a US resident at this time, and likely never will be in the future. They are most likely using this time to further accumulate US deposits to support their out of US market. Bonus whore somewhere else if you ever want to see your money again.

well i just signed up for an account, and for now I do believe that my money will be safe there. what I thought about mywebatm - fairly easy and fast to use, they did not require me to call them up and confirm anything with them, everything was done through their online registration. - requried minmum $50 and some change required to open account. Cant use fulltilt transfers either, has to be from personal bank account. $40 online bank transfer to your account + $10 card issuing fee, $3 proccessing fee, and one other $0.37 centsor something fee i cant remember. I used my banks checking account check #'s to complete this proccess. -I did have to input a lot of personal information. Aside from your typical name & address, social security #, drivers liscense #, and they even asked me about my current car loan... what bank issued my auto loan and how much are my monthly payments. I guess they run some kind of credit report while registering, idk. They assured me that this was for security reasons and identity fraud purposes... which is ok by me, no big problem here, I'll go these lengths to assure that my money will be safe online - Have to wait 3 more days for them to make a small deposit('s) into my checking account to verify with them my bank account for Canada Poker! - Seems a lot like Neteller if you ask me, except for the proccessing fee's and other fee's. But right now, we dont have much choices and this seems to be the best route presented to us thus far. and the fees aren't that hefty imo - peer to peer transfers accepted (to other mywebATM customers obv), and for withdrawing it seems they have an option similar to netellers EFT (electronic Funds transfer) back to your checking account. Ill have to wait to really see how this works Regards

A deposit provider called Nucharge.net (pronounced Newcharge) was recently launched. It works by funding your Nucharge account with your credit or debit card in increments of $100, $150, $200 and $300 with no fees to open up an account. Nucharge is technically for long distance phone calls but poker sites are now adopting it for funding options. Once you fund your Nucharge account you can then deposit. It works similar to other ewallet sites. You can NOT withdraw with Nuchage. It is simply a way to pay or deposit money into accounts. I tried out Nucharge to make a purchase online and it took about 5 minutes to initially set things up, answer security questions, and fund my account. I expect more to adopt Nucharge in the near future. Nucharge Pros and Cons Pro: NuCharge has no signup fees Pro: NuCharge was quick to setup Evrest Poker Con: You can not withdraw with Nucharge Con: Nucharge charges an estimated 3% transfer fee Con: NuCharge is not accepted everywhere Karen EntroPay Security Team -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Land of neteller alternatives free, lol My government makes me sick Australia Poker Edited by mewalrus (01/27/07 12:52 PM) Poker Games Guide Post Extras: Johny Poker stranger Reged: 06/11/06 Posts: 16 Re: New deposit option:Full tilt poker : Wirecard [Re: manguydude21] #8933681 - 01/27/07 12:50 PM Edit Reply Quote Quick Reply I don't like neteller alternatives fees (see below), unless FT is gonna give some kinda bonus to cover neteller alternatives fees.

I can see playing with your remaining funds, but the US government is going to continue trying to close neteller alternatives withdrawal leaks in neteller alternatives coming weeks and months.

Even if you can deposit and withdraw now via click2pay or some other method, that doesn not mean it will be available several weeks from now. Many of us are sitting around with serious funds tied up at Neteller etc.... I don't see why you would want to endanger or potentially tie up more funds.

While the WTO case may finally have to be dealt with substantially by the US government don’t expect them to just bend over. New laws that frustrate gaming interests could be introduced just to start the debate all over again. This one has been going on for years so don’t expect it to end anytime soon.

So I bought a ton of Gift2Go cards a month ago (or whenever all this [censored] started to go down) and deposited like 10x $100 cards into Bodog. Went to cash out my profit today and I get a message from Bodog saying they need "Credit Card Verification Forms" for EACH of the Gift2Go cards I used. Are you [censored] kidding me? I don't even want to know what the turnaround time for this "verification" process is going to take... So sick of all this BS! Thank you for contacting neteller alternatives Wirecard Service Team.

So there is one, maybe two ways to deposit money easy at a couple poker sites, and no easy way to withdrawal, ummmm...will see what happens down neteller alternatives road. It's going to be deposit methods for americans while before things get back to any normal decent play for neteller alternatives US. Most important are the players with money stuck in NT. They need their money before worrying about playing poker online. Though it looks like online poker will live.
