required to deposit money to play at the poker sites. Pick one or
more online poker rooms and download the software. A list of poker rooms
is on the left side of every page of our website. Be sure to use our links
and follow the sign up instructions for each poker room. This way, when you
are ready to deposit, you will be able to start receiving entries toward

| Depositing money |
| You have signed up, played at several poker sites and found a few that you like. The best way to deposit money into online poker rooms is through Neteller. Neteller works much like PayPal. It is free and allows you to easily transfer money to and from poker sites. It makes it very convenient for you to move money from one poker room to another or to transfer money back into your bank account. We also have a list of alternative online banking methods. We have listed the banking options for individual poker rooms on the review page of each online poker room. |
| Getting a deposit bonus |
| You
have created your
Neteller account or a different banking
option and are ready to start playing for real money. Most online poker
rooms offer you a bonus when you deposit for the first time. These deposit
bonuses are released after you complete the bonus requirements. For
example, Paradise Poker offers a 25% up to $50 bonus. The deposit bonus is
released in $10 increments for each 100 points you receive. You earn 1
point for each raked hand. The rake is a fraction of the
pot the poker site takes for hosting the game. A raked hand is a hand
where rake is taken. Since you have signed up through Poker Prize Club, be sure to go to My Account and register the poker room you joined. Once you receive your entries, submit them into the available FREE poker cash sweepstakes. After you have completed the deposit bonus of an online poker room, you may repeat the process on a different poker room. You are able to do this for every online poker room. Since you have signed up through Poker Prize Club, you can receive additional entries toward FREE poker cash sweepstakes. |
| Getting a reload bonus |
| A reload bonus is like a first deposit bonus, except it is open to everyone. Poker rooms offer these regularly and reload bonuses are an easy way to get some extra money. You can find out about new bonuses and promotions on our Bonus News page. |
