    I'm not certain what options are available at present Jiffy.....I fund mine with a direct debit from my checking account. Simple and easy, no problems transferring in or out in the 2 or 3 years I've been playing on-line...

    is it posible to "sit in" on a few sample games to see if there is interest?

    I'm not sure Jiffy....I do know that there is a way to observe tables in their regular forums.....I just don't know if they have extended this feature to their new "club" offerings. I don't know why they wouldn't subject to the club "members" provide whatever necessary authorizations.....

    Terry,

    So they've found a way to play for money even though we're all located in the states???

    I'd be interested if so...

    Scott,

    it has been picking up steam in recent years.....the major sites are all domiciled offshore. There was a major effort to dry them up at least for domestic players by restricting the ability of the sites to accept funding via credit card payments. Most major sites can now only - at least to my knowledge - use direct debits/ach from your bank account.

    There is current legislation under discussion to legalize poker games at a minimum. I have been playing on the PokerStars site for several years now and would vouch for the quality and the integrity of the site.....it is a BIG business and these guys appreciate the key to long-term success in any enterprise to take good care of your customers.....if you're interested email or message me and I'll send you the registration info. Look forward to playing with you....
