Best/safest online depositing method?

otter · #1 10-24-2005, 07:21 PM

Next to neteller, what is the next best way to deposit money online? I was going to sign up for firepay, but I see that they charge $3/transaction. I also know that moneybookers was recommended by some, but can I use that if I'm in the US? Thanks in advance.

if you don't might a staight link to your checking acct I would go with IGM Pay I think this is only avail on Party Skins though. Just curious though why would you not want to use neteller?

Firepay charges $3.99 for a transfer from checking to bank account...I just made one large transfer and I lived with the rake

If you currently have money in a poker account you can probably withdrawal from that poker account to Firepay for free

If Firepay is anything like Neteller you need to deposit first b4 withdrawling...I don't know though on that...again I still don't care about $4. I tear that up in front of people to get reactions..

Moneybookers is not good. Their systems are not that well automated. I know that you cannot withdraw to them on some sites because of this.

FirePay is a great deposit method, however note that they front the money and may only take it from your bank account a few days later. This can cause some confusion/embarassment if you don't have the money in the bank account when they want to settle.

You will also not be able to withdraw funds from the poker room, until FirePay have covered your initial deposit by taking the money from your bank account. Since this is not necessarily immediate, this can cause some problems.

If anyone has/had a Citadel account, it's the same scenario.
