deposit methods

was just wondering what everyone was using to deposit at full tilt? does any visa work the gift to go or the all access what about epassport?talking about u.s players

Not sure about full tilt, but I deposited with an all-access visa a week ago at pokerstars. There is a thread I made about it, just search for it.

I haven't deposited in a while, but the last time I used my bank debit card, which acts like a visa but withdraws directly from my account.

i tried to deposit with my mastercard on pokerstars, but it wouldnt let me, but full tilt lets me, weird.

for canadians the best way to deposit is instadebit or other canadian debit deposit methods, you dont need to sign up with anyone so there's no real middle man, withdrawing is a differnt story though.

paypal debit card worked for me LOL

it does? on what site?

Paytru cards work at every site I've used it at.

Paytru best for me. I finally cashed out 1500.00 at pokerstars. Six hours later it was on my paytru balance. Next 3 mornings pulled 500.00 cash from machine. Every time I loaded it, only took seconds to get money on stars.

It works - but it is not cheap. (and credit card companies that will allow paytru charges to go through are dropping off like flies, it won't work for much longer)

Only 40.50 to load $1,000.00 onto paytru with direct debit from bank account. No charge to transfer to pokerstars, or to withdraw from pokerstars. Only 2.50 fee to withdraw $500.00 from paytru at ATM machine. Withdrawal fees a good problem. Think pokerstars is indirectly linked to Paytru. Maybe it'll last allot longer if thats true.

It cost me $18.50 to put $200 in pokerstars using paytru.

It cost exactly $40.50, every time I deposit $1,000.00. $200.00 should cost only $8.50.

Yea - that is what I thought I was paying. I put $200 in and it said the total was $208.50. I work for a credit card company and found out paytru is getting auto blocked by most of them so I thought I better put another $200 in. This was one week later - all of my credit cards declined including the first one I had used, except for one card. I put an additional $200 in with that one and again it said $208.50. When I got my statements there was an additional $10 charge for each the 2 transactions.

I use direct debit from checking to paytru so must be different. Don't know what to say, except for the facts that I experienced. I monitor all my transactions, and banks online. The checking account I use for gambling online is a separate account used just for that.

I've never had addittional charges on any payTru transactions, just the 4% plus .50, and my debit card loads to it everytime with no hassles.

what are the charges for a direct debit card

so what is paytru an where do you get them?

I don't remember if I tried to use my debit card or not - I might try to use it today to see if the additional charge shows up. Both of my transactions were with a credit card. Sounds like maybe that is the difference.

Hi all,
I used epassporte once last month as an experiment and it works fine, trouble is it takes a full 7 business days (that's excluding weekends) for the money to get from your bank into your epassporte account, a lot of places are taking epassporte now including fulltilt and ultimatebet and it does seem very popular. I phoned epassporte and there isn't a quicker way to fund this account, apparently it's policy to wait the 7 business days. My guess is you'll have to wait just as long for any withdrawal to hit your account also.

My wife made a deposit into bodog using a prepaid credit card called Ice, and I also now know that I can use my bank card to deposit into ultimate bet as that is a mastercard, the reason this works is because ultimate bet doesn't bill it as anything gaming related, that is the main point when using a credit card or debit card, you should phone the poker room or casino beforehand and ask them what it shows up as.

I use pay-tru card on Poker Stars and I think that the fee is too high, but it always loads good and deposits on sties.

I tried to sign up for the pay-tru card but the site says they are no accepting new applications. Is there a problem with the site? or are they just capping new accounts for now?

Re: Paypal debit card

FT but don't tell everyone LOL

No problem w/ the site, in fact it's recently been spruced up. It's been several weeks now they haven't been accepting new apps. Don't know if that's permanent or what.

i have a chase visa so i tried it and it worked i am from the u.s i didnt think any sites were excepting any credit cards from u.s players but full tilt did take my chase visa

For Canadian players I see that there is a deposit option on PS for Debit. Does any1 know if this requires signing up for any extra programs...or do you just use your pin # / account #? Also does the account type matter?..i.e savings or chequeing?
Thanks.

When you say paypal debit card...is this a different form of Paypal? Or does a normal paypal account accepted?
Thanks.

Hi all,
Casinos and poker rooms were being denied by banks, because americans make up a lot of the casinos and poker rooms revenue a lot decided to find ways around this so what they do is not show up as gambling related which is why the card goes through on many sites. If it says anything gambling related like egaming then the bank will refuse it.
One casino even told me they would bill it as onlineopportunities, others will show something completely unrelated to gambling like world wide enterprises etc...
That's why your bank card will go through at some poker rooms, ultimate bet is another which will take your card.

PayPal has an option to verified members to get a debit card linking to your PayPal account. I have one and it didn't work on PokerStars. It is a MasterCard so I can't use it on ePassPorte either.

It works like a normal debit card, but the funds come from PayPal.

Oh ok...yea I was kinda hopeing pay pal worked for pokerstars but I just realized it doesnt lol. I thought it did at one point in time but I may be wrong. So the debit card works on FT may need to try that out.

same thing iwth my capital one mastercard. but it doesnt seem to work on pokerstars, only on FT

Ha - you shouldn't advertise that so freely. You might have someone like me reading this who works in fraud for Chase and has the ability to go in the system and block those from going through.

(but I won't lol)

It is either a slip-up or Fulltilt is using the wrong merchant code - somebody will catch it sooner or later, meanwhile my lips are sealed....

Thank you all for your information

I had received a Visa gift card, and it worked for a deposit on Pokerstars. I checked, and you can get a $100 card for about $105 (there is a fee) so don't know if thats cheaper than the other methods. Also don't know if it works on other sites, though I may try Full Tilt and will let you know.

Visa Gift Cards
they used to work then they stopped and now i've heard that they are working again. seems kinda stop and go to me. not the best method but could work.
