I don't think any of them accept paypal. Tell him to try and set up a Neteller account if he doesn't want to fund using bank accounts of credit cards. It works pretty much EXACTLY like Paypal (I use both; one for ebay, one for poker).

No. You just have to have an account (checking) that you can use to make an initial deposit with into neteller and so you have a way to get your money offline without waiting the ungodly amount of time it takes the poker sites to send you a paper check.

Poker sites love money. PayPal hates Poker and will seize/freeze your funds if you figure out how to use your PayPal credit/debit/xfer for Poker. The fault is with PayPal.

wrong. the fault is not with paypal. it is with the united states department of justice, which has threatened to prosecute paypal, visa, mastercard, etc, if they facilitate online gambling, which the bush administration considers illegal under a wacky interpretation of the law. they have also threatened to sue magazines and tv networks that advertise online gambling sites. that's why the only tv ads you see are for online "poker schools" like partypoker.NET...
neteller is not subject to u.s. law because it is based in the isle of man, part of the british commonwealth. this is why they enjoy a virtual monopoly in the online gaming transaction market.
as someone else said, you do not need a credit card to open a neteller account, just a checking account at a bank.
