Poker Beginners  (Getting Started)
 
 So. You have been playing, or are interested in playing online poker. Well, you are certainly spoilt for choice. With online poker rooms cropping up every day, '' WHICH ONE SHALL I CHOOSE? '' is the most frequently asked question. First of all. Are they secure?. After all, you will be using the net, for processing your cash transactions. I personally, have done many cash transactions on many of these sites. And so far, I have not

come across any problems. So your next question should be, '' how easy is it to deposit my money into my poker account? ''. And much more importantly, '' how easy is it to withdraw my hard earned cash? ''. Depositing your money is very easy. Provided you have a credit or debit card, (especially a Visa card) then you should have no problems at all.

Money Withdrawal

Withdrawing your money is another matter. Most of these sites, will not return money to your credit or debit card account. And those that do, will only return it to the cards of those of you who live in Europe, and a few other countries. They will not return it to the cards of people who reside in the United States. If you do have the money returned to your card, it will take between two and five days for the funds to clear. (this has always been a mystery to me, as it only takes seconds to extract it from your card???).

 Neteller Account

But never fear! There is a very good solution. I solved this problem by opening up a Neteller account. It only takes a few minutes to do, and I personally found it the answer to any of my cash out problems I may have had in the past. All of the poker sights I have used, accept both withdrawals and deposits to your Neteller account. Let me just tell you the main reason that I use my Neteller account. If, say for example, I am playing at the party poker site, and I withdraw funds from this account and place it in my Netteller account. Then these funds should be cleared in my Neteller account, between one and six hours later. Once these funds have cleared, I can freely go to any of the other poker sites, make a deposit from my Neteller account, and be playing at the tables within seconds.

Neteller Debit Card

'' BUT I WANT MY CASH IN MY SWEATY LITTLE HANDS! ''. OK, calm down. That's easy! You can either withdraw all or some of the money you have in your Neteller account by cheque, just by the click of a button. The cheque will be in your mailbox within 48 hours. And it will be in your currency. If you supply Neteller with a positive ID of yourself, they will supply you with a debit card free of charge. You can then withdraw money from your Neteller account to your Neteller debit card, and your money will be available to withdraw from most ATM machines within 15 minutes. How good is that?.
Now when you done all that, why not go have a look at the POKER SITE REVIEWS section and read up on some of the great deals there for those of you with Neteller accounts?
