1. Euro bank account which is pretty much impossible for those living outside of Europe (Have looked into it big time, if someone has a solution then please let's hear it)
2. Skrill account, which is what I used.
I signed up and got verified on Winamax about 6 months ago. (Man it is a procedure and a half) I deposited via credit card and it was immediate.
One major problem though, you can't withdraw. Skrill rejects the withdrawal from Winamax into your account due to the Aussie laws. Was on support several times before someone finally realized why the withdrawals were being rejected.
Bottom line is yes, you can play, if you're a recreational player and want to play for real money on great software and great fields then this might be an option.
If you're a winning player, yes you can play and win but you can't withdraw winnings. (I tried about 4 months ago, maybe it's changed now, dunno)
I deposited a small amount and I've started to run it up. (Playing on there when I have nothing better to do) Treating it like a small Bank Savings Account. If one day in the future Online Poker is legalized in Oz then I can withdraw if not, lost a small deposit, but at least I'm playing and killing some time. Beats playing with play money.
