NETeller is probably the most popular method of funding an online poker or casino account for non-US residents. Neteller is an “e-wallet” that you can securely transfer funds from your bank account, credit card or via wire transfer.

This was the very first e-wallet that I used to fund my online poker accounts. I was unable to use my credit card to fund my account so on the advice of customer service from HoldemPoker.com (they are no longer around) I opened a Neteller account.

I was able to fund my account using my credit card and was up and playing that same night.

Once you open your NETeller account, you can deposit, withdraw and transfer funds to any online poker room which accept NETeller online payments. Most online poker rooms accept Neteller.

In addition to being easy to set up and fund, the most important thing about Neteller is that it is a safe way to send money.

As Neteller explains it "NETeller is a highly secure and widely used means of transferring funds on the Internet. It utilizes Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and 128-bit encryption keys, the highest browser encryption available anywhere online".

In other words, Neteller uses the most secure methods to protect you and your money. All of your information is stored behind a secure firewall.

If you ever need to contact support, NETeller has 24/7 support via email, live chat and telephone support. This makes contacting to get your questions answered very easy
