The Best Way to Fund Internet Poker Sites

At Fourputt’s suggestion and in preparation for entering the Nik’s Poker Palace On-line tournaments, I will re-print the article from October 11, 2006.

The best and safest way I have found to add chips to your poker site is thru Net Teller. This is a FREE Internet banking site. It is quite easy to use, lightening fast in depositing into poker sites and only a day or two wait cashing back out.

I say ‘free’ but there is about a 9% transaction fee up to a certain amout or amount deposited – then after that it is free. Still, Net Teller is a publicly traded company in England and is as safe as any bank I would imagine.

Here are the steps to get ready for internet poker.

Step 1. Open a checking account with your poker stake money in a bank that you do no other business with. This will be your ‘poker’ account. Do not use a savings account as those accounts do not allow transfers.

Step 3. Open a Net Teller account on line.

Step 4. Transfer money to Net Teller using the account and funds you deposited in your new ‘Poker’ Bank Savings Account. Be sure to leave the minimum required in the checking account so you can transfer winnings back.

Now you will be able to load money into any poker site from Net Teller that is still taking USA customers. See NPP’s lists of ‘good’ sites. NPP strongly suggests that Poker Stars be a newbie’s first stop. It is simply the best site out there.

This way, the poker world can only reach back to Net Teller and Net Teller can only reach back to your poker checking account. Never use your main accounts for anything on line. I am pretty sure Net Teller and the poker sites I suggest are on the up and up, but better safe than sorry.

This is just another friendly public service announcement of NPP. - Faldo
