I just logged into stars and received an invitation to use echeck as a deposit option. Has anyone else been offered this?

no just you

I think you're the only one. I searched google and no one else has gotten it.

seriously, it says it is being offered to select US players with the plan to implement for all in the future. I hope this option comes back to stay.

I was offered it, does it work to cash out or only deposit ?

(not that Ive ever cashed out of stars)

VIP status?

oh wait, ive got it too. lol.

Im just a bronze star and yes it says you must cash out through echeck if you deposit with it.

full tilt offered this to me only as a withdrawal option though, this would be sick if this comes back.

I got it and I haven't played Stars in 2 years...

THis is awesome. Welcome back Fishies

They need to market this better if it's going to attract people who want to get money online easily.

I got it too, Im supernova if that matters

I just got it as well. This is exactly what it says:

You are eligible to use Instant eChecks!

Dear XXXX:

eChecks is a great deposit option which allows you to make safe and secure electronic fund transfers (EFT), directly from your bank account to your Pokerstars account.

As a loyal and valued Pokerstars player we'd like to offer you this option during our special introductory phase. As of right now eChecks is only made availible to a limited number of players.

eChecks will allow you to load your account instantly (provided you have no past negative eCheck history), so you can hit the tables and get into the game in no time at all! Simply click on the Instant eCheck icon in the Pokerstars Cashier to make your deposit.

Play Well!
The Pokerstars Team

Just got it today and am already busto.

thin 2nd B in BBV.if you read any two posts in this thread you would know star status did not matter.

I used to use echecks on party. It's pretty quick and easy. pretty awesome

Serious question here... Lets say theoretically I needed to cash out ( I havn't in three months b/c everytime I get to 3k I sit in a 30/60 six max and never win) and wanted to use an echeck, how would this work? The site issues a check in my name? Would the deposit be instantaneous? Are there gay fees associated with it like western union?
Also, does anyone have any information on whether FTP will be doing this?
Thanks

How come only certain people are invited?

"When you request a cashout, any amounts that you have previously deposited using eCheck will automatically be credited back to your bank account whenever possible. Credits will be processed in the order that you made your deposit requests, from the oldest deposit to the most recent."

Is it just me, or does that look like it reads you're only allowed to cash out what you deposited in the first place? Or is it trying to say the amount you first deposited will be cashed out first and the rest later or something?

This is a very cool option, I hope I get to use it too.

Just checked and I am able to use it. SHIP IT!

I talked to stars and they said they only offer it to people who have deposited more in their lifetime than withdrawn. So don't be too proud!


PS I was offered this as well

sounds like they hold the checks in limbo and credit ur account with them so that way when u cash out they can just return the money back to your bank account easily
