Pokerstars Pulls Plug on payTru

Got the following message from PS in my email this afternoon:

As of December 10, 2007 at 12:00pm EST, you will no longer be able to
request cashouts to your payTru VisaDebit account from PokerStars. All
cashouts requested before this time will be processed by December 13th.

As of December 14, 2007 at 12:00pm EST, you will no longer be able to
make purchases with your payTru VisaDebit card at PokerStars.

You may still use your payTru VisaDebit card to do the following until
it expires:

- load funds onto your payTru VisaDebit card
- use your payTru VisaDebit card to withdraw funds from ATMs
- make purchases using your payTru VisaDebit card anywhere Visa is
accepted (other than at PokerStars)

We thank you for participating in the payTru VisaDebit card program at
PokerStars.

Yup, received that e-mail today also. Now PS is pushing e-checks, giving a 50% bonus if you deposit via e-checks.

in my oppinion e-checking is better that is the reason PS is trying to get rid of pay-try like that
they are always looking for more reliable ways to do transactions
it is another step in the right the direction if u ask me

JuiceeQ won't like this

PS has sent it to everyone that I have talked to. It is there big push for echeck

I haven't gotten this email but I am pretty pissed.

never used that anyway I always use fps / epassporte so I need not worry about that mess.Thx for the heads up though!!

I really liked the paytru card... It's a shame that they are cutting it. I have had epassporte since neteller stopped working in the US, but they are too expensive... almost like an additional rake!! paytru was less expensive and I got instant withdrawals from PokerStars. It's a shame that they keep adding restrictions. We may be on our way out for good here in the US. Let's hope not!!!

Pay tru still works on FT I think.

I've been using paytru at pokerstars.

Now what I want to do is cashout much of the money in my pokerstars account, but since I cannot use paytru, I'm not sure of the best method.

I don't want to wait 2 weeks for a check and am thinking echeck.

But, how do I go about it? Will I have to buy-in with an echeck from my bank account, then wait ten days for the echeck to clear before I can cashout the funds that are already sitting in my pokerstars account?

Advice is welcome.
