Cool.... I have heard of them, but wasn't sure how it applied here (poker). Makes sense. Thanks for the info. I'll check them out and if I decide to open an account, I'll let you know for the referral.
My main concern, and this could definitely be another thread entirely, is tax consequences. I'm not saying I plan to cheat on my taxes (and I don't), but the more places I have money that the IRS knows about, the more red flags may go up and the more they may be inclined to question my income reporting. By moving money in and out of Neteller (who doesn't have my SSN and therefore doesn't talk to the IRS) and NOT in and out of my bank (who has all of the above), I feel like my life will be a little bit easier when it comes time to pay the tax man.
BTW, I'm assuming ING 1099s you at the end of the year. If this is incorrect and it's all off the books (other than you linking it to your primary bank account), please correct me.
