Stars echeck? - Page 2 - Poker News - News, Views and Gossip

I talked to stars and they said they only offer it to people who have deposited more in their lifetime than withdrawn.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

Brag: Didn't receive offer.

I used it, it worked instantly. How does this not constitute a violation of the UIGEA or whatever? Anyone have a limit higher than $600?

mines 1500. i think its just correlated with your normal deposit limits, for say, a debit card or something. I've had mine raised a few times

Shane, I sent them a nice email yesterday (loyal customer, looking to play the limits I used to, no money online because of UIGEA, blah blah blah...) , and they raised my limits to $2K daily / $3K weekly / $6K monthly. I'm sure you could do the same. They said anything more than that would require me to send them some sort of documentation (I assume a fraud-protection measure.) I just sent it to support@pokerstars.com, they said they forwarded it to their security department, and everything was in place about 6 hours later.

The only thing I can think of is that they are handling the transactions themselves and not involving a third party to process the payments. Under that scenario I think it would be legal since they can track directly where the money comes from and goes to. I wonder if they will disallow player to player transfers?

How do we see if we are able to do it, just check cashier?

Should be the top left option, and you'll get a popup saying so even before you hit cashier.

I cashed out via echecks after depositing with it and am still waiting. This is day 5 and they said it could take up to 7 days.

I deposited last Thursday also, and my bank account hasn't been charged the funds yet. Anyone else experience this? I want to take out money now, and don't want to cross transactions. I'm sure it's not a big deal, but I am kind of anal about this stuff.

My deposit cleared my bank, however when I went to cashout I received an email that said they could not process it. I'm still waiting to here why?
