How Do I Get Money On a Site??

Uhh... Topic please. The sites that I'm most interested are Bodog, PokerStars and FullTilt, and yes, I do live in the States.

Easiest way - find a friend outside the states who will transfer you money between players

Who do you bank with?

SunTrust allows online poker as well as Chevy Chase. Those are the only ones I know of. There's probably more, I just never checked with any others.

You can still deposite and play with money living in USA.

But if you bank with Wachovia, that's your first problem. I know they do not support deposits on online poker sites. I switched banks.

dont know about Bodog, but stars and FTP allow epassporte as a deposit method.

it takes awhile to set up, but once it is, you can wire money back and forth like neteller used to for us. transferring money between sites has no fees, but putting money in, and taking out, do have charges...so watch those.

epassporte for the win

Last time I put money on Bodog, I had to buy phone minutes (I think from some place called NuCharge). Bodog then trades cash for my phone minutes.

The big advantage of course is that you can use any credit card to buy the phone minutes. The big disadvantage is the fees. I think I paid a fee to buy the minutes and then another fee to my credit card company for a foreign transaction fee.

Also I'm worried that when I cash out of Bodog they'll pay me with phone minutes.

Good luck!
