When I first opened a payment processor account to play online poker, the process scared the hell out of me. I had never had to give up so much information to open an account before. I remember starting the processes and chickening out several times. It wasn’t until I read enough 2+2 posts on payment processors that I decided to throw my concerns aside and place my trust in one of these anonymous money clearing houses. Even with my new found courage I still went to the trouble of setting up a new checking account and only transferring money meant for my online poker experiments.
Full Tilt has published a series of Quick Start Guides to help walk people through the process of opening a payment processor account. Most of the folks who frequent this fine site probably already have a favorite payment processor but just in case someone new to online poker happens to run across this site while Googling around trying to find out if Neteller is an actual company, here are the links:

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
