IGM vs Neteller

[sluttysteve]

I currently use IGM for all my transfers on Empire and Party, but a lot of people seem to use Neteller. IGM is annoying in that it's kinda slow, takes like 4-5 days for e-checks to clear and stuff.

Is Neteller better? Are its transfers instant, and are they free?

Depends on the site. If you use Neteller at Party you will have to have funds actually sitting in Neteller for you to be able to deposit. Neteller works just like a bank in that you have a balance there. Many sites (such as Parasdise, Absolute, Pokerroom) actually let you use the "InstaCash" feature which lets you deposit autmatically from your bank account to the poker site instantly for FREE. This feature is very similiar to how some IGMPAY transfers work. This is very nice because Neteller charges you like 8.9% if you were to do this from Neteller.com. If done through the poker client they will eat these fees up.
