Withdrawing Poker money...

[LoungeAct404]

I registered a FirePay account thinking I'd be able to withdraw my poker money from www.dsipoker.com. I was wrong. Apparently, you need to deposit money in order to withdraw money (I didn't deposit any money but I got money through the Tucker Max vs. Gorilla Mask tournament that didn't require payment in order to play, and had a large cash payout). Also, apparently you can only withdraw the amount of money that you deposited.

Yes, that's right. Say you get lucky and manage to get quite a bit more than the $25 you originally deposited via FirePay. YOU CAN ONLY WITHDRAW THAT ORIGINAL $25, NOTHING MORE.

STAY THE FVCK AWAY FROM FIREPAY.COM. They also have a startup fee that costs $6. What a complete waste.

Anyways, I wanted to know if anyone here had any information about www.Neteller.com. Is it legitimate? Is it really free to sign up? Any good/bad stories?

Thanks for your time.

AND ONCE AGAIN, STAY THE FVCK AWAY FROM FIREPAY.COM.

Neteller is your friend. Pretty much everyone uses it. Epassporte is alright as well.

If you use neteller and do deposits with pacific poker, they'll cover the 8.9% deposit fee.

I used neteller without any problems.

So the basic consensus is that NETeller is pretty legitimate and that they're safe to go with?

What about FirePay? I don't want to be a victim of identity theft in years to come - these guys asked for my social security #.

I've had no issues with firepay. However, i only use them to deposit which i haven't had to do in a long time *knockonwood*. i play on party poker and withdraw straight to my checking account.

I would have stopped right there and cancelled anything with these guys.

ugh this is giving me a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach

The only problem I have with Firepay is that they have started charging a fee to withdrawal since I haven't deposited in so long.

for the lazy:
WASHINGTON, July 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. House on Tuesday approved a Republican-written bill to crack down on Internet gambling, in what critics said was an election-year appeal to the party's conservative base.

The House voted 317-93 to impose a ban on most forms of Internet gambling by making it illegal for banks and credit card companies to make payments to online gambling sites. Internet gambling generates some $12 billion annually worldwide, half from American gamblers.
