Making a deposit to an online poker room

What is the best way to make a deposit to your favourite online gambling site?  That depends on where you are from, what stakes you play and what type of gambling you enjoy.  Note: If you are using an eWallet that accepts Americans, then it would wise to keep your money in it for the least possible amount of time and always have a low balance only.  Many eWallets have been shut down by the United States government.  You should never put any funds in an eWallet, that you can not afford to have seized.
