When you begin playing online it can be a very daunting experience. Questions such as "How do I know the games aren't rigged?", "Where is the best place to play that game?" and "How do I know if I will be paid" are all on your mind. Well to begin with you can be assured that we have extensively tested every site listed in the database and can say that the games are "fair". Each software type has its own certain characteristics, but they all payout to a set % and have just as many 7 in a row winning hands as losing ones etc. For details of where to play your best bet is to go to the strategy/advice guide pages and select your game of choice. From there you can quickly brush up your knowledge or even pick up some new tips, then head off to the recommended site for that selection. All the recommended sites within the strategy/advice guides are 5* sites so you can rest assured that you will be paid quickly and hassle free. If they dont we will!

There are several other useful tools which any Pro Gambler wouldnt be without. It is useful to separate your gambling from the rest of your life, so firstly and most simply get a new E-mail address for use purely at gambling sites. This will prevent your real mail box becoming full of SPAM. Addresses can be obtained for free from Yahoo or Hotmail.

Another way to separate your play from regular life is to ring-fence the money you spend. This will firstly allow you to control your spending and also count your winnings. It also means as it is money you had mentally spent already, you wont be waiting for a cashout to clear before you can pay your gas bill! For more experienced players it is also advisable to get a Neteller account in $s and a Moneybookers account in Euros. This will save a fortune in exchange rate fees for when you play at foreign sites and make it much easier to Arb and Trade the bookmakers.

To open an account you just need to provide Moneybookers with a few details and then verify your email address. Thereon login is simple using your email address and a chosen password. You can initially deposit funds to your account via Bank Transfer, Debit or Credit Cards and Cheque. Deposits to your account via Cards will be instant (you will initially have to go through a verification process). It is free to deposit with Maestro, Switch and Solo but all other cards will incur a 1.90 % fee. Cheque deposits take 10 days and Bank Transfer take 2-5 days; both these methods are free. If you have internet banking then you can make the transfer yourself online. To open a Neteller account you simply need to provide them with a few details. Once you have opened your account you will be given a 12 digit ID number and 6 digit login code. Each login will also require a password of your choice. Funds can be transferred into your account using a Card or Bank Transfer. If you have internet banking this is the best method for depositing funds, it will take 2-4 days for the money to arrive in your Neteller account and it is free. Credit Cards payments are instant and incur a 3.9% fee, Debit Card deposits are also instant and a fee of 3% is charged (You will initially need to provide Neteller with further ID before using any sort of Card).

Finally always read and learn from the experiences of others, check the forum and if you have any questions just ask. If you have played somewhere post your experiances and say how it went, what you thought was good/bad etc, then others can learn from you too!

Good Luck!
