REALLY novice Q: how to start playing online????

[Wilco23]

After doing a search on this forum and reading the FAQ (Am I in the right forum?), I've decided to go ahead and ask the question that I'm struggling with.

I'm a B&M player normally and would like to start playing small stakes online. I'm American and was wondering about the mechanics of depositing and withdrawing (i.e., do I use epassporte, etc.) and what banks generally allow transactions through epassporte (and the like).

If there's a primer on that somewhere around here, I didn't see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(Mods, if this is too general, I apologize. Feel free to lock the thread if that's the case.)
