First real money deposit

All poker rooms offer a variety of deposit options, which are all safe to use. The most common way to make a real money deposit is the credit card option. Your money will be instantly available in your poker player account, and you can withdraw your winnings the same way.
Another very poular option is to have an account with one of the many so-called ewallet services. Companies like Neteller or Moneybookers offer a virtual account on which you can transfer money from your bank account, where it remains parked until you want to make a deposit with your room in real time. Watch out though for the payment processing fees when you transfer the money back to your bank, those fees can be rather high.
In any case, in order to withdraw money through one of those options, the poker room requires for you to have made at least one successful deposit from that option.

And then there is one more option available in many countries: the socalled Paysafecard. At www.paysafecard.com you will finda list of sales points in your area where you can buy a card for a specific amount, which has a code similar to the codes you use to charge up units to a prepaid telephone. You type in that code at the poker rooms cashier function and the money will be credited to your account instantly. No traces on your credit card bill!
