Why should I open an online bankaccount? Because online poker rooms don't support direct money tranfers from your 'real' bankaccount to your Poker room account. The poker rooms need a 'transfer station', which is an online bankaccount. So before you can make any deposit to a poker room you first have to put money on an online bankaccount. From that online bankaccount you can send and receive money from the poker rooms. Note that an online bankaccount is completely save and is in fact a real bank, but it is completely optimized for online money transfers. Those online banks are supported by all online poker rooms because it is cheaper an quicker to transfer money then a normal bankaccount. Because almost all the online poker players use this online banks, you can be gueranteed that it's completely save. How you can transfer online money: At first you need to create an online bankaccount, which you can do by using the Neteller / Moneybooker link on the top or bottom of this page. It is assumed that you already have an normal bankaccount (with the option 'Internet Banking') and that you opened an account at a poker room. First the transfers 'normal bankaccount' > 'online bankaccount' > 'pokerroom account' will be discussed. From 'normal bankaccount' to 'online bankaccount' is just an ordinary moneytransfer, like depositing from a normal bankaccount to another normal bankaccount. The best way to do this is by using the option "internet banking" from your normal bank- account. Which data you have to fill in (To which accountnumber you must send the money), is different for Neteller and Moneybookers and is explained in detail if you use the Neteller / Moneybookers link on the bottom of this page. If you have your money in your online bankaccount, you have to deposit to your account at the poker room. This is very easy and you can use your money to play with directly after the deposit. Just open your poker room account (at most poker rooms this can be done by clicking 'banking' or 'cashier' or 'deposit') and select which online bank you use for transferring the money to the poker room. Neteller can always be selected and Moneybookers can for most of the poker rooms be selected. (note that there are several more options to deposit to your poker room account, but those aren't as easy and quick to use as Neteller and Moneybookers.) After selecting which online bank you use, you must fill in some data (again, see the Neteller / Moneybookers links on this page) and directly after that you can use your money to play with! Second, the transfers 'poker room account' > 'online bankaccount' > 'normal bankaccount' will be discussed. From 'pokerroom account' to 'online bankaccount' is almost the same as depositing to a poker room account. You must open your poker room account and choose 'cashout' or 'withdrawal' depending on which pokerroom you play. After that you have to select which online bankaccount you use and fill in some data (again, see links). After that your money is on your online bankaccount within 1-3 days. Note that for some pokerrooms you first have to make a (minimum) deposit to verify your online bankaccount. After your money is on your online bankaccount you can transfer your money to your normal bankaccount. Just open your online bankaccount and fill in the data of your normal bankaccount. After that your money will be on your normal bankaccount within 1-3 days. If you still have questions about the money transfers, please contact us.
