Just got my money refunded, no bonus.

My check was for over 4k, and it DID bounce, so if I didn't get a bonus, I doubt anyone will...not yet anyway.

Anybody have any history with wire transfers?

got my money.

no bonus like the others , but wasn't expecting one , nor am i since it didn't cause me much hassle @ all.

some of you guys are pathetic , give stars support a break about the situation ffs instead of the on going complaining ITT making it longer than it needs to be , or the paranoid hysteria going on here. Some people are actually rational people and are trying to use this thread to update whats going on instead we have to sift through 80% of your guys bs

let them sort out the refunds , and than see what they do for people who this caused great hassle (overdrawn bank fees) .

you guys got your money and your still complaining like some girls

I got reimburst for my bum check, now hows about that there E-check in limboland?

I have recieved numerours checks from stars over last 6 months. Im not involved in the recent withdrawal/bounce checks. So thats good you got money credited back to acct but right now we cant really withdraw without bouncing checks? Man this really sucks!

You should all be mad at the US govt and not Stars. Sucks tho.

they have new processors, new checks can be requested

Obviously any checks requested now will come from a different processor, so everything should be fine with new checks (or so I am hoping).

I haven't heard of any problems with the new checks yet.

got my money as well. sent them another email asking if its ok to cashout again and which method to use.

I just got a 10% bonus on my lost money. No email. Transfered from "RefundedCashoutCompensation"

Check your History.

I wouldnt say they have a new processor if deposits are still not allowed

has anyoe heard about the echeck situation yet >?

[ ] has received his money $
[x] has his apparent monopoly money back
[ ] cares for your indifference

glad you guys got paid...

i'm still waiting for a refund from the e-cbeck i cashed out on 5/31 that was cleared, but never hit the bank account.

got bonus to , how nice of stars.

Just got a 10% bonus, pretty nice

oh **** looks like they credited my account +10% of my cashout amount. hell yes pokerstars FTMFW

Do you really size your cashouts so you only have to press one key?

Got a 10% bonus but no email, that's something.

Your right , i do not care about your guys indifference in this situation.

You are impatient. Your acting like a frantic child.

Grow up.

i imagine step one is taking care of the bad checks they issued, and echecks are the next step

REFUNDS YES!!!

has anyone considered a wire transfer instead of these checks?

Stars comes through!

I just got a 10% bonus for my troubles, and since my check was for over 4k, I'm a happy camper now.

I see that the wire transfer option minumum has been lowered to 2.5k now too.

Everybody check your emails.

Ok, so Stars has clearly made good on all our monies, has given us a 10% bonus on top of that, and did it all exactly in the timeframe they promised.

I hope all you whiners take a second to step back and take a look at your posts, how ridiculous they looked at the time, how hysterical (and frankly stupid) you look now and remember this next time (and yes, there will be a next time) something like this happens.

Well played Stars. Thank you for making a ****ty situation tolerable.
