    After a v.successful weekend with my play money, I've decided to invest a couple euros see what happens.

    Can I get some advice on what deposit and cash out options I have? I have a Visa card, but should I open a Neteller account? Any other tips and advice?

    Most of the main sites (Stars/PokerRoom/VC/PPP) will do cash back to Visa I think, so that's probably your best bet for both in and out. If you get a Neteller account make sure you denominate it in dollars, otherwise you pay exchange rate commissions on both deposits and withdrawals.

    I'm pretty sure Stars don't cash out ot Visa. Don't know about pokerroom but VC and PPP do. Ladbrokes also do but they don't have micro limit games. VC or PPP would probably be your best bet to get your feet wet. If you start setting up other accounts later on then a Neteller account would make sense.

    I'll be using PokerRoom, it's the only one I'm currently set up on. I'll check their cashout to Visa options: will I be able avoid exchange rate commissions if I use a Visa both in and out?

    Providing you created your account in Eur you should suffer no extra charges

    That's a point. Then maybe your best bet is set up a dollar Neteller and a stars account. Then whenever you want to do a big cash out ship it to stars and get a cheque sent out. Reason for stars is that they seem to have an Irish operation now, you'll get a cheque snappily and from BOI.

    The other thing is that PR won't let you cash out to a Neteller account until you've lodged from it.

    PS. Samba, I don't think PR lets you denominate in euro, though it's ages since I set it up.

    Stars? Not PokerStars, I assume? How do I "ship it"?
