Alternatives to Neteller for Poker Players

Friday, January 19, 2007 | Adrian Milewski

By now you will have read about the shockwave that went around the online poker world this week after the arrests of two of Neteller’s founding members and the subsequent withdrawal by Neteller in the US gambling market. This means that US players are now no longer able to use Neteller to deposit and withdraw into online gambling accounts such as their poker account.

We should mention here that this only affects residents of the United States and that everybody else can still use Neteller for their online poker transactions.

So in this article we take a quick look at the alternates that are available for online poker players other than the previously favoured Neteller route.

Click2Pay

Click2Pay is a well established company which has been around for sometime and currently still allow you to process transactions with online poker sites. It offers similar features to Neteller such as it’s own Debit card to get quicker withdrawals. Fees are reasonable and while deposits into Click2Pay from your bank account are free, deposits via your credit card will attract a 3% fee.

Epassport

Epassport is another alternative to Neteller who still allow you to process transactions with online poker sites. Although this is an excellent alternative for Neteller and you will be able to operate in the same way as you currently do with Neteller the only drawback with Epassport is the fees they charge on transactions. For every $100 you deposit into your Epassport account you will be charged a 5% fee which is above the average charge in the industry.

Paper Checks

There are still some pokersites online which will accept your deposit via a normal paper check. The main site we recommend which offers this form of deposit (and withdrawal) is Pokerstars

There are other alternatives to this situation around but the above are the one’s we suggest you investigate first.
