All I get is a message that says

"echecks are currently unavailable. Please try again after 00:00 EST or select another method from our cashier to make a deposit now. We apologize for the inconvenience"

I emailed Stars but nothing yet, anyone else heard anything about this?

How much time have you given?

they should be good in a few hours or less, but its always a bad thing when they don't have available deposit options for US customers.

It hasn't been to long and I'm not to worried. I just wanted to deposit for the promotion, but like you said, as a US customer I always think the worst.

It seems like it was something that just happened. I was at first able to attempt to make a deposit and put in the info, deposit amount, etc... but got the error message when I clicked submit.

Now when I try to select echeck as an option I immedeatly get the error message.

I was just posting on FTR that Full Tilt is not accepting E-checks any more either.

I emailed them and they said:

Quote:

We're sorry your deposit attempt with Instant eChecks was unsuccessful. Unfortunately, Instant eChecks is temporarily unavailable for use on Full Tilt Poker.

I emailed back and asked for how long and they said:

Quote:

Thank you for emailing Full Tilt Poker Support.

Unfortunately, we do not have an exact timeframe of when this issue will be resolved. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

My guess is it's some kind of legal problem.

This was at about 8pm EST last night.

CassCards, I was just about to post that FTP isn't currently accepting E-checks either. This is really bad news for Americans like me.

Damn......Man I am running good.....I requested a echeck withdrawal on Friday 5/29 (hasn't hit yet) last week after not doing one in over a year because of the delays before. Always got a check in 4 days max. Everyone was saying how echecks are hitting your account in 2 days so I gave it a shot then boom another ****ing delay/problem.

Wow... I'm glad I couldn't deposit. I would've been pissed that I forgot about the freerolls code.

this is the response i got when asking if the option is gone for good or when it should back up and running.

Thank you for contacting PokerStars.

Unfortunately, we do not have a timeframe as to when the eChecks method will
be working again. But rest assured that the option will be available as soon
as possible.

You can check the option in your Cashier tab from time to time in the next
hours.

Thank you for your patience.

Regards,

Irene

Apparently Tilt has the same issue at the moment? Echecks are unavailable?

This sucks, I just signed up for rakeback on Tilt and was about to make my first deposit.

Hope this isn't permanent.

Wow not again, my echeck withdrawal from 6/1 is late. This will make the games worse if fish cant deposit. Bad news. I wish Scotty would let us know when echecks will work again.
