using a credit card for my bankroll


Recommended Posts

Can anyone give me some advice as to how I can use a real (non debit) credit card to deposit about $1K to start a new bankroll?As I understand it, most credit card companies will reject any online poker sites. Can I use a credit card with Neteller or something similar?Thanks!

All depends on what site, neteller is accepted by almost all. I have a neteller account, firepay, e passeport, pre paid atm, and click 2 pay. Neteller is probably the best, followed by pre paid atm, in my opinion anyway. Both of these money broker's offer atm cards that u can get pretty quickly, which I use when I make withdrawals. Withdrawals to my neteller Atm usually a couple of hours till I can get the money, prepaid atm is the next day. Hope this was any help

Just from one poker player to another, why so much? If you can't take 100-200 and turn it into 1000, you probably shouldn't be depositing that much in the first place.

STOP THE INSANITY YOU STUPID , STUPID MAN!!If you do not have enough money to put 1k of cash in your account, i'd suggest staying far away from 1k.Like someone else suggested, stick with 200.00 play some lower tables, clear a bonus or two.work that up to 1k in a month time. (thats called moving up in limits, It's what every poker player does) :club::D just some advice

What you all fail to do is ask why are you using a credit card? If he's like me, who's wife had a heart attack at the thought of someone "that can't be trusted" having our bank account information. So we agreed upon getting a credit card for my use, and only used for my poker. Since my initial deposit, the card has been cut up and thrown away, now I use the neteller atm card or pre paid atm card. However if what everyone else thought may be is true, and you can't afford this amount, but got a credit card offer in the mail or something stupid like that, then this is a horrible idea.

If you are going to use your credit card, it really makes the most sense to deposit up to your full limit. If you are good enought to beat .5-1, you are good enough to beat 100-200. I tried to find a credit card with a $10 million limit so I could play in the Big Game, but they wouldn't give it to me. Freakin racists.

This is a freaking awful idea.To deposit 1K from a credit card is insane. Really think about occuring finance charges on a balance of 1K. This is retarded.If you don't have the money don't gamble. Simple as that. I mean if you were saying $100 I would have a totally different opinion.

if you have proven to yourself that you are a consistent winner (and aren't lying to yourself about your skills), then there is absolutely nothing wrong with using a credit card to fund your bankroll, that is if you trust yourself to make the payments on time (as with any big credit card purchase). if you are not, then of course it's a dumb idea - i personally would not deposit so much, as it is not really necessary, but if you are good then go for it!

Thanks for the feedback and concerns. I do appreciate your input greatly.For me, I have a couple of reasons for using a credit card. 1) I collect frequent flyer points on my United Card. I currently charge about $10K per month on this card and have almost 150K points atm.2) Privacy =) I have a shared bank account with my wife that I prefer to separate from my poker activity.3) Bonus Claiming: I plan on depositing $600 into Full Tilt to gain the full $600 bonus. It doesnt make sense to me to only deposit say, $100 and only get $100 bonus.Again, I thank you all for the feedback. The interest and fees associated with using a credit card or of no concern to me and I can and will pay the $1000 off when I make my next months payment (approx $10K).Have fun all

BTW, you can't use Neteller if you live in certain states. At least I was unable to use it because I live in Maryland. So this may not be a viable option for you. Because of this, I am only able to play on sites that accept electronic checks.
