(There are over 250 rooms so even restricting
yourself to the top 30 or 40 rooms is safe and gives you plenty of options.) My
reasoning was that the rooms with the most players must have players that were
receiving cash outs in a timely manner. Also, the larger the room, the more they
had to lose by cheating players. The way poker is designed, rooms will make more
money by being honest than by stealing from players who will never come back.
I also read reviews about the different sites in order to become comfortable with
my choice of a site, then downloaded the free software and practiced at the play
money tables before depositing.
The
next question is the best way to get money in and out of an online poker site.
Here are a few simple and safe steps to get started.
1.
Find a poker room you would like to try on this site and download the free software.
2. Open a checking or savings account
with a local bank. (You probably already have one, but some players open a separate
account for poker.)
3. Go to www.neteller.com
or www.firepay.com and open a free account and link it to the bank account from
step 2. I have used Neteller and their service is safe, fast and free. You can
transfer money from your bank to Neteller and then into any online poker room
for free. Then any money you take out of a poker room will go back to Neteller
and then back to your bank if you so choose. By using this method, you don’t
have to worry about the safety of a credit card online and most rooms don’t
use credit cards anyway.
4. Set
up an account at the poker room from step 1. Usually you will click on “register”
or “cashier”. You will enter a screen name and password as well as some
other information.
5.Either practice
at a play money table or make your first deposit and jump into the live action.
Good luck!
