Default How to choose a site

This is an article I found useful

How to choose an online room that is right for you...

Many factors come into play when deciding where you would like to open an online poker account. First, you need to ask yourself some basic questions about your play.

What limits, and what games am I looking for? Do I just want to play low level cash games, or tournaments, or a balance of both?

Are satellite tournaments important to me? Am I going to put money up to try to win trips to big live tournaments, or some other type of big prize?

If I am a cash game player, is getting my rake back important to me or a large bonus or would I rather build up player points, and go with a room where I can get cool things as a reward for my loyalty/play.

Is the sheer number of players important to me? Would I rather play at a huge site where there will always be massive tournaments, and multiple games at each limit, or would I rather play at a smaller room where I can get to know certain players tendencies, and take advantage of this?

Are the people involved in the room important to me? Is it important that a credible pro whom I trust endorses a particular site, or do I just want the site that fits my play characteristics the best.

Once you have answered these questions, you should be able to narrow your choices down significantly. Remember, we stringently evaluate, and continuously check the rooms we work with here at Freeroll Tourny.

So, if you find an online poker room that seems to have all the things you want/like, and it is on our list of sites we work with, you can trust that your money is safe, and that a fair play environment will be provided.

One last thing, ask other players what they like about the site. You got to have other players to PLAY POKER.

I choose the site by payment method because epassporte is the only option for me

Have you looked into NetSpend cengo. It is a pre-paid debit card. You will be able to check and see if there is a reload station near you. They also have a method where you can load it through paypal.

For anyone planning on free rolling, make sure you look for site reviews concerning free roll payouts. Many sites require that you meet requirements (raked hands, deposits, etc) before being eligible to withdraw free roll winnings. Which may not seem like a big deal to you parlay that $10 tourney win into a few hundred dollars only to discover that you will never be able to withdraw it. That's a fairly extreme example but it happens.
