| Casual Player: Most poker rooms require you to download their software. This
software does not affect your PC in anyway. It will not put any
viruses or steal personal information from your computer. It is
a safe download. With the software you can actually play poker for
FREE or watch money games till you are ready to
play for real money! Click
here to download Full Tilt Poker. I recommend this online poker room in particular because it is easy to use, it is very safe, the software is very good, and there are lots of games. I play on there almost everyday and I feel it is the best poker room out there.
When registering your new poker account, you'll need to provide
an email address and nickname (or handle) to activate your account.
Poker rooms will send you receipts via email for your transactions,
such as deposits and withdrawals.
If you're only planning on playing for play money you should be
able to log in with your user name and password and play immediately.
Serious Player: If, however, you're a serious player looking to play for real money I recommend signing up through here so you can get rakeback (upto 50%). Rakeback means the casino pays a portion of the rake back to you.
Neteller and FirePay both work almost exactly like PayPal. With
these options, you register a bank account, fund your new Neteller
or FirePay account from your bank account, and then use this new
account to deposit at the poker room. Some poker rooms accept e-checks
as well. I suggest Neteller, as many poker rooms are offering promotional
bonuses through them. Also most poker rooms, including Empire, will
pay for the transaction fees for Neteller and other banking options
just for using their online poker room. So it costs you nothing
to deposit or withdraw.
Last, log into your new account with the handle you selected and
the password that you provided. Look around the software. You can
watch any game at any time or choose to jump on one and play.
