echeck/deposit issues at pokerstars

does anyone know why the echeck deposit option isn't working at pokerstars have sent several emails to support all they say is use a diferent option lol. also does anyone know a usa site that accepts echeck besides doyles room im from ky so cant play there.

pretty sure full tilt does echecks

Didn't KY ban online poker? You might not be able to deposit on any US friendly site due to your state law.

yea ky did but i can still play at pokerstars fulltilt reefer carbon and Ultimatebet but pokerstars echeck has been down for some reason so i decided to deposit at Ultimatebet big mistake i hate everything about Ultimatebet software and all sux lol

Yep your US Govt at work shutting down payment processors. Guess all the other criminals are all cleaned up.

We have critical issues that happen once in a generation and the Feds worry about on-line gambling processors.

Amazing.

Ya I figured. Ridiculous country I live in.

Tried to make a deposit on PS using Instant Echeck. Notice came up stating Echecks currently unavailable. Was working last week. anyone have this problem?

I sent an e-check to PokerStars a couple months ago and they accepted it. It took a few days to clear, however.

Good luck

Yea -these issues just started this past week Mange.

Just sent an email to pokerstars asking if they are ever going to have echecks. If not will move to another site. Not many chioces for USA players. Idon't care for FullTilt but it will have to do.
Duane

It is my understanding that Full Tilt is having the same issues.

Just recived this email.

The all access visa cards still work for those who are interested.
Good luck

yes they do. i made a modest deposit 2 days ago to take advantage of the reload freerolls.

yes the visa cards work but was just much easier to do a check and free the visas charge a reload fee everytime you buy one but Ultimatebet still takes echeck if you can stand the software there wich i hate but thats just my opinion

whats does this mean for people who have been using it as a option transactions are a matter of record now....

Those all access Visas are a pita. The last time I tried to find one that would work it was ridiculous. None of the places the websites said you could get them at had ever even heard of them lol.

Has anyone tried Click2Pay? I only want to make a $10 deposit to particpate in their promotion so of course any fees would be silly.

There are only 2 stores that sell them around here. The site was correct for me. Maybe you could look it up and call before running around

Oh I did - I called every one of them listed in my area and not only did they not carry them - they had never carried them.

Lol oh sorry Dakota.
I dunno.

so does this mean that anyone who wants to cash a check out will not be able to if this is completely stopped? I hope atleast they can send it directly to there checking but i doubt it if echecks are gone......makes you wonder if you have a lot of money on PS and you're in the US if you'll ever be able to withdraw

Yea - great timing for my big win lol. I will probably try to take $500 out and see what happens.

i dont know if you have speedyway gas stations in your area, but i know they sell them(also you get mass speedy reward points when you load), also some checkcashing places do. gl

No speedyway gas stations around here.

Apparently its not all major sites--just Full Tilt and PokerStars where the USGovernment has caused the recent problems

you could be like me,go to play cards,and find a negative balance,and a message that my echecks didnt go thru.the moneys in the bank ,and know way to fix this...yet.so what do i do now?guess ill be a flustered buster for a while

yes dakota i ran into the very same thing looked at the visa site got the stores that carried them then went didnt bother calling no one had them but the greendot mastercards work also but it cost 10$ over whatever you load on them so a 50$ card cost 60

Wow - this really sucks. I emailed the deposit dept at Pokerstars and they replied telling me of 3 kinds of cards that work.

All Access Visa - there is one location listed that sells these anywhere I could see in North Georgia. It is very close to my house - but unfortunately is the same place I called last time that had never heard of them - and furthermore they are now no longer open lol.

Futura - none sold anywhere that I could find

Privacash - there are places listed that are at least a 30-40 minute drive for me - which is hardly worth it for a damn $10 deposit lol.

It's a good thing I don't need to deposit to play - I only wanted to participate in a promotion.

yea dakota-xx i wanted to deposit for promotion also and i cannot find a way either dam. looks like no 300,000 dollars worth of freerolls for us lol

It gets worse - the places listed that sell them don't necessarily sell them lol.

This is really not good. Thankfully I have plenty of money online and was only wanting to deposit for the promotion. I feel bad for Americans who might need to deposit to play.

Those of you who are not in the US - you should jump all over that promotion. I imagine the entries in those tournaments will be very low with so many Americans unable to participate - especially the first 2 weeks.

Omg - 4 hours I have spent trying to make a deposit at Pokerstars. I have almost $200 worth of Visa gift cards that won't work there.

Click2Pay is denying me based on my IP address so looks like they are no longer a viable option for us either.

To the best of my knowledge, cashouts via echeck have been off the table for a long time. They definitely were for an extended period, but I don't know if they ever came back before this. It's pretty much been necessary to have a check mailed, I believe.

This is really frustrating me I wanted to play the reload freeload bonus and e-check is my only deposit method so it looks like I am screwed.

dakota,
I found I had the same problem finding the All Access Visa cards, but I found something that kinda worked for me. On their website, I had to input other zip codes of towns near mine in order to get additional stores to show up on their map. By doing that, I was finally able to find 1 store that really had them. Unfortunately it was a half an hour away, but I made the trip and bought a few of the cards since I wanted to play some MSOP sats/events on FT.

Thanks for the other 2 cards, I'll have to see if any of those are closer to me.
