A few questions about Party and Neteller

[mikeyp]

I turned 18 a few weeks ago and am therefore very excited to participate in online gambling. But the major catch is that my parents are very anti gambling. I could get away with the Neteller account saying that I needed it to buy something, but a Party account is the exact opposite. When I sign up for an account at Party I have to give them my home address. Do they ever mail anything to my house? Does my house start getting casino/gambling junk mail? Also when signing up for Neteller it says that I have to give them a phone number. Do I have to give them my home phone? Or can I give them my cell?


Thanks for the help.

When I signed up for Neteller I gave them my cell phone #. They call you once to verify your account and that's been it so far.

Party hasn't sent anything to my house, but I started getting EmpirePoker junk mail. Just say you don't know why you keep receiving it and you should be fine.

My suggestion, however, is to figure out a way to get your parents to not bug you about your gambling. My parents are not exactly pro-gambling either, but they have no problem with my play.

You are an adult and it is your money after all.

did you sign up for empire? or by signing up for party it made empire start bothering you.

I'm signed up for just about every casino and poker room on the internet (well 100+ of them anyway). In a year I've received various crap from the Fortune Affiliates, Absolute Poker, and probably a few other random ones I can't remember. I've never gotten anything from Empire/Party, but a lot of people have. Just say you signed up for a play money account there and that they're trying to get you to sign up for a real one if stuff comes in the mail.

I understand your worries. I have never received anything from Party Poker or Empire Poker and I am signed up for both. I have however received plenty of mail from Absolute Poker, including a monthly newsletter, so you should stay away from them for now.

Alright thanks a bunch for the info. I guess I will think about it for a day or 2 thinking about the risks and such.

Thanks a bunch for the help, both of you. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I was just wondering do you ever send me any mail/promotions to my
home address? I just barely turned 18 and would like to get an account
but my parents are very anti gambling. Thanks for your time.

That's a pretty good answer from Party. I'd say you can go ahead and sign up there without worrying about anything.

Have fun. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
