Select a US friendly poker site and create a NETEller account with a prepaid card.
You can then transfer your money to the NETEller account and cash out in any ATM.
US friendly sites can be found on http://pokersiteonlineguide.com/us-poker-sites.html if you need inspiration on where to play.

No, you don’t have to do anything like that. There’s a variety of methods to choose from to securely deposit and withdraw. Check the tips at http://dagus-statistics.com/reviews and http://poker-lobby.com Hope this helps.

actually even canadian’s have some troubles with this … my honestly advice it’s first to look for some us friendly online poker sites . Still few decent ones here . If by any chance your favorite one it’s not accepting you you can have a small trip somewhere on europe ;) open a bank account here get a new debitcard , and you can rent an windows server for cheap :) even …

There are no laws that prohibit playing poker online, even for cash. No one has ever been arrested for playing poker for real money online. You should not have any fear of playing poker for cash online.

There was a law that was passed in October of 2006 called the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which disallows transferring money from an American financial institution to an internet gambling site, but this does not put the consumer (you) at risk. Only the banks that transfer money to the gaming sites would be at risk.

Ironically, since the law was passed, it has become easier to make a deposit on a poker site. Before the UIGEA was passed, most deposits went through a third party ewallet site called NETELLER (the PayPal of online gaming sites). Credit card deposits were only available to non-US players. Now, credit card deposits are the primary method for getting money on poker sites.

Also note that this does not prohibit money from flowing in the other direction. If a poker site sends you a check, you can cash it with no problems at all.

Feel free to play poker online with impunity. It is fun. It is safe. It will make you feel like a man. Use the Full Tilt link below to get a 100% deposit bonus on your first deposit. You’ll be glad you did.
