The latest on U.S. deposits?

I have been funding ePassporte with my Chase debit card. Then I found out Chase will often deny the transaction on the weekends. Now Chase denied another transaction today (Tuesday).

Will my debit card ever work again with ePassporte?

How are you US folks making deposits onto PokerStars and Full Tilt?

moneygram, actually putting monies on in the AM tomorrow.

You're with Chase? Did you try to load money today? Chase has declined 2 transactions for me today to ePassporte.

Yeah...about a month ago I tried 4 times to load money on a weekend...they all got denied and Chase put a block on my card until I called their fraud department, then they lifted the block. The nice lady suggested I wait until a weekday to load money on ePassporte.

I was told to use this at full tilt, but have not done it yet. I may soon.

Anyone have experience with this prepaid give credit card?

The payTru card that PokerStars rolled out to a few of their players a while back works great everywhere. Ubfortunately, there is currently a freeze on new cards being issyed. Every US online player should have one!

I have heard that this card is a great way to cash out. Its just like a atm card but linked to your account. Is this true??

If you have access to the echeck option it is great - instant and no fees.

I work for Chase - we don't decline by days of the week. All epassporte transactions should be declined initially. They might let the transaction go through if you call them - but not to a gambling site. If they ever let your transactions for pokerstars go through you are just getting very lucky.

How does Moneygram work? Can it all be done online?

Echeck would be great but the PokerStars website says it's been unavailable to US players since January 17.

Chase declined my debit card again this morning on ePassporte. Guess I'll have to call Chase or use the very slow bank account transfer method, Moneygram, www.allaccessgift.com...

I got a pop-up in pokerstars a couple of weeks ago saying I was part of a selected group for echeck. It did say they hoped to roll it out to all US players soon.

I didnt get pop up but I can use echeck soon as my account gets unlocked this month.

last deposit I made at pokerstars was on my debit, about 4 months ago.

I have epassporte deposits taken directly out of my checking account. I've never had a problem.

Just FYI:
Chase Debit card works directly on Bodog.

Also figured, What the heck, Let's try a deposit on Full Tilt.
Chase debit card worked right along.
It was "Pending" for about 10 minutes, but finally went through.

Thanks, Kerope

I just did a deposit using my debit card directly onto Full Tilt as well, no problems.

Interesting aside, a few minutes after my deposit my bank called me to do a security check on the transfer. It showed up as a jewelry deposit to them. Weird.

A jewelry deposit? Im not sure I quite understand that

Yes. It works at both PokerStars and Full Tilt. Not sure of other sites, but if I had to guess I'd say yes.

Really? I was under the impression that AllAccess no longer authorized transactions to gambling sites. I haven't tried it in months though. Anyone used this recently?

Yes...we've had several verifications that it's working now. There was a two period or so where NetSpend had a server issue and cards were being declined. But their customer service said it would be back up and sure enough it was, to the day customer service said.

It shows up on my bank statement as Gem payments, so when my bank called they thought it was a jewelry purchase.

Sorry, wasn't supposed to be a deposit in my initial response, was tired and in a hurry when I responded earlier.

I have a question, don't know if it's been asked before, but can you remove money by the Visa method or something else from Pokerstars if you have never deposited there before?

stars has instant e check but you gotta have 3000fpp;s...

Most places require you to have deposited before you can cash out (regardless of how you cash out). If you were asking how to cash out after you've deposited via Visa Gift Card, then it would be via check. As others have stated, Stars is very good about sending their checks. I forget who it was but they got their check and cashed it within 7 days.

I hope that all of you US players will join the PPA and help to combat this insanity!
