Poker Funding
Online Poker Funding
Once you’ve decided to play poker online and have
found the poker room you’d like to play with
(hopefully from our
recommended poker rooms). You need to
consider how to fund your online poker account.
Before I give you the options, I’d like to take this
opportunity to touch on playing for free. Don’t do
it. Practicing for free is fine to learn what hands
beat what and how the software at your online poker
room works. Other than that, you will never learn
to really play poker unless you have at least
something on the line. Whether it’s $5 or $5,000,
the only way to learn to play poker is to bet with
real money.
Since you must play for some amount of money to
learn and improve your game, it is important to have
a funding strategy in place. Tip: Check out the
poker bankroll section for information on
poker buys ins and
bankroll.
It used to be simple, sign up, charge some chips to
your credit card and you were in the game. These
days making a deposit requires a little more time,
but honestly it is for the best because once you are
set up it makes getting in the game and getting your
winnings faster and easier than ever before. So
while some people long for the days of being able to
use their credit card, I am fan of today’s options
because they make getting paid a lot faster.
I could give you options, and there are a lot of
them. Send a check, bill it to your phone bill,
Western Union. But in my mind there is only one
company you need for all your online poker funding
and cash out needs, NETELLER
What is NETELLER? Aside from being your bankrolls
best friend NETELLER is the world’s largest gaming
payment processor. It is an independent company,
government licensed and has locations all over the
world. Once you set up a NETELLER account you will
be able to deposit directly from your checking
account and also have your winning put directly into
your account within 48 hours of cashing out at a
poker room.
If you’d like more information on NETELLER or are
ready to sign up just visit
www.neteller.com. All of our recommended poker
rooms accept NETELLER and it is the only funding
method we endorse.

funding process we are happy to assist you. Simply
