Default What's everyone useing?

Hi everyone! I 'm new to this site but have been playing poker online for sometime now and think I found a new home with RACKBACK !
I've noticed everyone seems to have excellent insight and a fairly good understanding of the online poker world so I have a topic of my own that could use some disscussion-

Since the withdrawl services to US players using EPASSPORTE, I was wondering if anyone knew of any current deposit methods that might "mirror" them in a anyway. I know there are other methods that are popular to US players but what i'm really looking for is one that is accepted at most of the popular sites and will issue a debit card of sorts to load and withdrawl onto.
The reason being is that I had never used epassporte but what I have read about it seemed extremely convienant to have a accessable debit card to buy gas , groeceries and such with.

I would LOVE to hear what everyone else is doing and the difficulty/ease of use with your preferred method, THANKS

to answer your question i know of none. i find that if you have a checking account it is easy to use this form of deposit at the site, or pre-paid visa cards.

The only thing that comes to mind that might be vaguely close is Ewallet...but I'm not for sure since I've never used it.

Default Someone do something!

Yeah thats what i thought but I hope there is something soon because bank wire is too expensive for me and checks take forever.

Well, who ever steps up and comes up with something is REALLY gonna make a killing.

I use checks when I cash out because the length of time isn't a high priority for me. The money I have set aside for poker is only for that and I don't plan on having it available for anything else. Not having instant access to it can be a pain but it doesn't bother me a whole lot.

Because of this, I haven't had any experience with anything else.

Default Well...

I guess Fulltilt doesnt take that long after all. I live in NC and it only took a week to send me my check
That gives me some reassurance but I'd still rather get some kind of instant payout to a debit card or something, hope it comes up soon.

P.S. Fulltilt also gave me an option to withdrawl on to a "ultra prepaid phone card". I wonder what that is all about and why would anybody want to get paid in phone minut4es unless you can withdrawl THOSe monies from an atm or something??

The Ultra Prepaid phone card is a great way to get money onto Full Tilt. I've used it a bunch of times already. I think if you want to deposit $50 the total is $52.40 or something in that neighborhood.
It's cheaper than neteller used to be. You can link a credit card or a checking account to your card as well. I've read that you can now withdrawal with it, but I havent tried that.
ALSO,
I have cahsed out many times on Full Tilt. I used to cash out via neteller back in the day, but since then, I only cash out with a check. I've probably gotten 4 or 5 checks and they ALWAYS arrive in about a week or less.
The checks also don't say anything poker related, they are just a regular bank draft check from Wells Fargo.
So for me;
Deposit : Ultra Prepaid (very low fees)
Withdrawal : check

Hope this helps!

Default Full Tilt Check

I use Full Tilt check withdrawals. They work fine and I scan them as trophies
