E-Check Cashout from PokerStars

I spent a lot of time searching the internets looking for anything recent about the timeliness of e-check withdrawals on Stars, and only ever found either the deluge of issues they had back when they first implemented the system, or people whining that looked like isolated incidents.

So I am making this to inform people of a good experience, since no one often seems to mention when things work well. I wasn't in a rush to get the 600 back that I stuck into Stars to bonus whore, so I figured I'd try it.

Cashout request time: 2010/01/16 21:53 ET

Now first thing Tuesday morning it's hit my account as pending, which typically means it'll be cleared by the close of the business day. Deposit with e-checks, then use this. Even faster than checks, which is impressive since they have averaged 6 days for checks for me.

I cashed out some by e-check on Pokerstars on the 16th, it was in my account today... So yeah, Pokerstars does a good job of getting folks their money.

What does it cost? A couple of years ago I had a transfer into my account, the site didn't charge, but every bank the transaction went through charged me $20!! I ended up paying $60 for the money!!

E-checks are free, but take some time to clear. Wire transfers are instant and charge.

E-Check is great. I opened a free checking a couple years ago that I use for my online gambling. Have never had a problem have drawn money from Stars and my sports book. Transactions have taken 2 to 3 days to hit my account.

low min. deposits and fast cashouts make echeck my fav.

for a while was cashing out every sunday night and money was in by Tuesday morning(except for when there were holidays)
