I have tried several different ways to make a deposit on a few different sites. I bought a prepaid visa card. It states I got one that will not let me deposit internationally.
Do I really have to try to figure out the whole bit coin thing?
I saw one card from Western Union, anyone know if this would work?
Thanks so much in advance.

you need to try some e-wallets like skrill, neteller or paypal (there you can make dep from bank account). i think its all depends on which site you try to make deposit.

Bitcoin is going to be the quickest and easiest way. It is not as complicated as you think. You can set up free wallets, and it will make the whole thing much easier to any site you want to play.

Easiest way, is ; set up blockchain wallet here (https://blockchain.info/) its free, then you set up another one at (https://www.coinbase.com/).

Then it is ez, buy bitcion on coinbase, move to your blockchain wallet and deposit on poker site.

Then for cashing out, you cash out to your blockchain wallet then move to coinbase and sell.

The reason for including the two wallets and the extra step is to avoid coinbase seeing your activity with the poker sites, they tend to not be a fan of being involved in that area like the banks lol. GL, pm if you need to ask a specific question

Bitcoin seems about as safe to me as Absolute Poker was.

What laws do they have to follow.

They can't figure out how to exactly tax us on the winnings. If the US is not getting money for no reason, they are mad.

Easy. A few ways . I used bank easily. Also PayPal. And I recently just created a Bitcoin account as well... Also NetSpend prepaid Visa cards work great.

Awesome info. Thanks man. You answered a few questions I had about Bitcoin. And the whole block chain wallet. Also what saftey concerns do I have to worry about. Do I really need to back up my account. So a total of 3 downloads. To be able to process all ways easily.

Make a PayPal and bitcoin account to deposit and withdrawal the fastest. Also you can used prepaid netspend card or your bank info.. which takes longest.

If you don't want to use bitcoin I would suggest using Western Union or Money Gram, it is easy.

Do you mean the western union prepaid cards? Or do I have to do something like deposit into a western union place in person?
I had thought putting money into my paypal account I could do something with that. I had mistakenly thought I could make a deposit through only that.

If you're doing small deposits localbitcoin will work for you, its a p2p trading platform you can buy bitcoin with various cards like Amex, Visa Amazon, I tend to go with amazon best pay usually and no activation fees. The site holds the funds in escrow and ive done about 7 trades and not one issue, every transaction was done within 10 minutes.

Your bank should allow you to add international usage to your debit card. All you have to do is call them and tell them you are traveling internationally and will need to have international enabled. I was able to do this for ACR with a five minute phone call.

You should back up your wallet; better safe than sorry. It does not take long and is worth the extra step. It (Bitcoin) is the best way to transfer funds without fees.

I have finally got into the later stages of depositing. I put money bought bit coins in coin bank. It stated that it will be available in a week, Saturday. I think it takes that long the first time you do something with it. I just hope my money isn't gone when Saturday comes with the fluctuation of bit coin prices/

Okay on to the next step, finally. lol I opened up the cashier and started the deposit, it doesn't state what to do to get the money from the wallet to the site. Took me a little bit to figure out, I was looking for it to be harder I guess. Now I am waiting for the transaction to finish.
I have been working like crazy lately, schools here start on Wednesday and myself and the other Techs had to ensure all of the computers were fixed and in top working order before the schools are in session. I worked Saturday and Sunday. 7 ten hour days, I had to drive 2 hours one way to the farthest schools we go to. Might be why they saved them for last.
