Hi, im from australia but i don't have a credit card. I have a bank card with savings/debit/cheque account etc...

Is there a way i can play online by paying with paypal or something?
I just have no idea what to do.
Thanks,
Chambers.

You shouldn't need a bank card with Neteller/Firepay, you can link it directly to your bank account.

oh man now it's asking for a passport number and i don't have a passport!!!!
GARR!!!! what should i do? contact tech support?

Surely they can't expect everyone who plays online to have a passport.
thanks for the replies guys.

I used to use a Mastercard when I had to make my deposits, but this isn't supported everywhere for internationals. I'm pretty sure us Australians can use a Neteller thing, but again it's difficult being part of the minority.

Ok being an Aussie i figure i can help you.

When i first started depositing i used a credit card and i have no problems. This was 2 to 2.5 years ago but i believe some people are still doing this.

Your best option is to get a Neteller account. You do not need a passport to sign up just leave that line blank that is what i did and i had no problems. I would then recommened verifying the account by faxing them your credit card and drivers license (blank out the 3 digit secuirty code on the back of it).

You should then have no problems depsoting. Cashing out is harder but i use a friend who accepts PokerStars trnasfers and then cashes the money out to my bank account. If you are interested in that then please let me know.
