   They dont charge when you transfer funds from a bank, but yes they charge a small cut from each pot, but you hardly notice. I think Full Tilt is the best online poker site going around, especially for new players because of their poker school and and their micro low limits (1cent and 2 cent blinds).
   They also have great bonuses for new players including the 100% deposit bonus for new players (deposit $50 and get $50 free! up to $600)
   When you sign up you just have to type in NAB25 into the promotion code box. I think you get an entry into a new player $1000 free roll as well

   There is no fee to deposit money into your account at Full Tilt.
   If you don’t already have an account at Full Tilt there is a great program available where you can get $100 for FREE!
   There is no deposit of any kind required and you don’t have to give any credit card or banking information.
   It’s a free $100 to use as you please on any of the games they offer on their site. The only “catch” is that you can’t already have an account with Full Tilt, not even a play account.

   Full Tilt Poker (FTP) uses what most poker sites and clubs use. It is called a Rake. It is an amount that is taken from the winning pot EVERYTIME there is a winner. Although there might be a fee to transfer the money, this usually goes to the bank. That is how they make their money.
   The rake can be an percentage of each pot or a set amount that is paid every hour. When I play 1/2 (1 dollar small blind, 2 dollar big blind), I believe the house charges 6 dollars every hour.
   But it is as you said earlier, a cut of each pot. I am not positive of the percentage though.
   Hope it helps!

   At most limits the rake is 5% up to $3 per pot for cash games.
   Tourneys the entry fee is roughly 10% of the buy-in.
   These numbers maybe be a little higher for the very smallest limits/tourney buy-ins.
   And if you havent signed up with an account yet…make sure you sign up for full tilt with a rakeback affiliate. You can get up to 27% of the rake you contribute deposited back into your account. If you have already signed up though, then it’s too late. I’m with rakerebate.net myself.

   Just like when you go to a casino to play poker, you pay tourney fees and rake. Rake is a small percentage of each pot that the house takes to make their money. Tourney fees are usually the buy in plus 10%, that number can be higher in a real poker room.
   Usually poker sites have free deposits (they pay for the transaction) and a set number of free payouts per month. You might incur a charge if you go over, say 4 withdrawals per month.
   But you can find more information about how online poker works at http://dagus-statistics.com/reviews and http://poker-lobby.com Hope this helps.

   i works kinda like the real game. how much it costs it depends on the buy in
