Neteller is a free, highly secure online payment processor open to most regions of the world for online poker deposits. Neteller is a very popular deposit method at PokerStars, preferred for its speed, security and versatility (deposits and withdrawals).

Neteller Account Information

Neteller is absolutely free to join, and takes very effort to do so. However, due to banking/Id verification, it may be a few days before the account is completely activated. The sign-up procedure is a 7-step process.

1.    Go to neteller and click Join Now.
2.    Fill in your email address, country and currency. Choose a password, security question/answer and click the box to agree to the terms and conditions.
3.    Next, you'll be sent an email to verify your email address and information. When you click the link within the email, you'll be asked to give your password (the one you just created), as well as personal info like name, date of birth, address, phone number, etc. Be sure to give accurate information. Neteller uses the highest security measures known to the Internet, so privacy should not be an issue. You will be sent another email containing your Account ID (12-digits) and a Secure ID (6-digits). Write them down and keep them in a safe place.
4.    To further confirm your identity, you will be asked to call Neteller and re-confirm this information. Be sure to call from the phone number you provided in the previous step. Once completed, your online account will be accessible.
5.    Login to your Neteller account using the Account Id given to you in your email, and the password you created. The Secure ID supplied to you is only used to make transfers to merchants (i.e. to deposit at PokerStars). Your self-created password is only used to login to Neteller. If accepting a payment from anyone, only your email address is required. Never give out your password or Secure ID to anyone, ever, for any reason!
6.    Next you'll need to link your Neteller account to your bank account. This is the most common way to transfer funds into and out of your Neteller account. You may also use a credit/debit card or prepaid Ukash card, but you must still link the checking account for security purposes. Once you've filled out the appropriate information (bank account #, routing number, etc.), Neteller will make a small deposit into your account (very small, don't get too excited!)
7.    Now you must verify the bank account. Once the deposit arrives (usually take a day or two – call the bank to find out if it's in), write down the exact amount of the deposit. Go back to Neteller, login and enter the exact deposit amount. You bank account will be confirmed and you will be able to deposit funds from your bank to your Neteller account.
