Quick question about Firepay and Bonuses

[nsdjoe]

In one of the FAQs in these forums I saw that Firepay isn't recommended (neteller is instead), why is this? Seems to me firepay has a lower transaction fee (flat $3.99 rather than neteller's percentage), and it's always been very quick to transact money each way for me.

Also, I want to start with a bankroll of $200, but I want the maximum bonus at PartyPoker, which requires me to deposit $500. Can I deposit the $500 to get the maximum bonus dollars, then withdraw $300 of it right away? Or do I have to wait to clear the bonus to withdraw any money?

Thanks,
Joe

You have to wait to clear the bonus.

Both have worked fine for me. Take note that if you deposit to party via firepay your money will be instantly available to play but not to withdraw. Party doesn't allow you to withdraw to firepay so you need to use another method and you'll have to wait for firepay to confirm the deposit to Party before funds are available (apx 5-6 business days).

Yes. Since you need the money right back I suggest using neteller.
