New player, need some recommendations. Which WPN skin to join? New player, need some recommendations. Which WPN skin to join?

I am planning on creating an account on the Winning Poker Network and am looking for some recommendations on which is the best skin to join with. I am not too familiar with them all as I have been living in Nevada the past couple years so I have been restricted from play on these sites and frankly just haven't really bothered to keep up with them very much. Just recently I moved back to a state in which I can play again now so I have been trying to do my due diligence with my research prior to choosing a skin and creating an account to play on. Any advice/info is greatly appreciated!

Some of the questions/concerns I have -

- Does anything at all poker related differ from skin to skin?

- I have read some posts which mention player to player transfers. Can someone confirm if any of these skins do offer p2p transfers? If so, which ones do and do they allow you to transfer between other players on the skins different than your own that also allow for p2p transfers?

- What are the different deposit/withdrawal options on this network and do these vary at all from skin to skin? I'd like to know if any site is much easier to get money on/off than the others. Any recommendations on best deposit methods? In the past I have had some trouble getting money loaded onto offshore sites with my standard debit cards

- I believe some sports book sites such as Bookmaker/5Dimes are also on the WPN network. I have heard about very quick withdrawal options through these sites and have been recommended by some friends for their prompt withdrawal methods as well as their sports book offerings. Does anything poker related differ by signing up on one of these skins as opposed to ACR, BCP, etc.? Also, do any of the mainly poker skins on the WPN network have any sportsbook offerings and if so does that have an affect on the ability to do p2p transfers as it did when the sportsbook was added on CarbonPoker way back when?

- To my surprise while I was looking at the poker promotions section of the Bookmaker site it was for the most part blank, which was a vast difference from that corresponding section on the Network's poker skin sites that I viewed(ACR,BCP,TRUE). Are all the WPN promotions usually standard across the board on all sites or do they vary the promotions from skin to skin?

- How long are the typical standard wait times for cash outs on this network and do they seem to vary skin by skin at all?? I have read about bitcoin being a withdrawal option, what are some of the other withdrawal options available that exist aside from the bitcoin method? Do any differing withdrawal methods seem to have a big effect on their payout waiting periods?

Thanks for any and all help. Feel free to contribute anything else useful I may have missed.

Black chip poker seems popular but is open for usa players. Dont know how safe some other skin is but not being usa adds a little extra protection from fbi but on the other hand goes busto more easily, in case one can lose ones money. Different skins accept somewhat different countries. Some offer rb deals through affiliates. Black chip cashout was fast but if ur just testing the site, dont deposit too much as u need to rake 10 % of it before they allow a cashout. The bitcoin site, a tiny site but the tournaments might be merged with wpn and the trackers likely work.

P2P exists. P2P is not allowed between skins.

No. Bitcoin is the best method for deposits and withdrawals, hands down.

No different on poker other than you may only have one option, rakeback or VIP instead of two options like you would on the ACR, BCP, True skins.

The aforementioned main skins have sportsbook offerings. I'm not sure how that would affect P2P...

Bookmaker doesn't really promote poker. The main promotions, such as The Beast and Sit and Crush are network wide.

Look through the cashier after you create an account, or the cashier thread posted in a previous reply.
