    I'm not a fan of banks therefor I do not currently have a checking account. So my question is, what would be the best recommended way to deposit online. I noticed the ability to deposit using western union and money gram on certain sites but is an easier way available, prepaid credit cards maybe. If prepaid cards work, what cards work on what sites. Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys.

    Once you put money online it's technically in a bank so you probably shouldn't deposit if you're not a fan of banks.

    It's a waste of money to not deposit using a bank account (unless you hand cash to someone who can put it online for you)... and N82 is right, if you're ok with putting money on a poker site, you should be ok with putting it in a bank and then moving it to a poker site...

    P.S. Please send me your address if you're rich.

    You can use Western Union for stars and Money Gram for Full Tilt, but the FTP min deposit is $250 and the fees for WU or MG are a bit high, prolly $15 or more per transaction.

    Supposedly the NETSPEND Visa card works, but a VISA gift card without your name on it probably will not.

    Hope this helps.

    I would use a Visa gift card, theres a max of $500 u can put on it, but there is a $2.50 fee that they charge you. I've deposited at FTP, pokerstars, and Bodog with them. But if you decide to go with Bodog, keep the card, because you'll need the number to withdrawl your funds. GL @ the tables..

    Yes, i just did it. I wanted to open a new checking acct and not use it on the net so much.

    I recently associated my neteller from my Bank of america to a Western Union Debit Card. What you do is you set up the card on the WU site, fill out the info, the info is verified that is in fact you. You recieve the card, go to a WU and load it. Its a visa, so you can use this as well as the neteller atm card they give you for withdrawls. They give you direct deposit info so you can actually use it as the "bank" for neteller. submit the "bank", they make the mini deposit, verify it...and done! they send cashouts to the WU card for you.

    pm me if any of thise doesnt make sense...

    best way would just be open a checking account (outside of neteller) and use a debit card, no reason to not be a fan of banks, your money is safe
