Question About Neteller
 

If I have never deposited my own money onto neteller via bank account, credit card, etc. can I put money into my neteller account via pokerstars?

yeah, but if u want to withdraw to your bank you need to have deposited to neteller from it.

Say what? :confused:

yeah, pardon?

He means that while you can withdraw to NETeller, you will be unable to then withdraw that money to your bank account unless you have deposited to your NETeller account from your bank account.

My NETeller debit card arrived today! Very cool, but it costs me $7 to withdraw money, so I have to take out a dime at a time to make it worth while. I thought I was going to get robbed lol.

You can open a Neteller account without giving them your credit card or bank account details and fund it from one of your poker accounts. This is a nice way to move your poker $ around w/o anyone having your credit card or bank account numbers. If you want to cash out through Neteller you can request that they mail you a check (which you can also do from any poker site).

thanks, this was helpful:D

thanx, made it clearer. Neteller is great, the debit card is expensive but a good time saver. I got one and lost the pin immediately, and cant get a new one sent. OOPS!

They do have bad exchange rates for UK people, and people who arent in the USA. I deposit $100 at paradise should be £57. i withdraw $100 i get £55. Sucks but what can ya do?

So if I am moving money from one stie to another, it takes 2-3 days to get it out of my account, then 2-3 days to put it into my other account?

Firepay
 

I use firepay and turnaround is rarely more than a few hour for me with sites like Poker Stars. Netteller is probably the same..

No, depends on the site. Some are very fast (Stars, FT, UB, Party, PR) and will do cash outs in a matter of hours or even minutes to Neteller. Others are a bit slower (bet365, Titan, Noble) and can take over 24 hours to cash out to Neteller. Moving cash from Neteller into a poker site account only takes a matter of minutes in most cases.
