Online Poker Deposit Methods
Making a deposit to activate a live table account through online card rooms can be done several ways. Although credit cards are listed as an option, many banks will not allow deposits to gaming sites online. Below is a list of the options available through most card rooms, with notes about their services. My own personal notes are listed with some of the descriptions. Hopefully this will be of service to you when choosing between services.
| PrePaidATM | The PrePaidATM Card is the only Card that can be used on the Internet for purchasing goods and services where the website does not know your card number. The only information a website receives is your account code. No names, personal information or the number of your Card is ever given. This is PRIVACY! |

| FirePay | FirePay is a Web based cash account. Fund your FirePay account directly from your U.S. bank account, and immediately pay with the deposited funds. It's FREE to sign up. Website says it's free to make deposits. It is not. $1.50 to process transactions. $10.00 to withdraw funds. My least favorite payment processor. Least favorite for customer service and least favorite for just about anything you can name. If you have a choice, go with NETeller or Citadel. |
