What's Uncleared Deposits?

I was just wondering what Uncleared Deposits were. I deposited $30 into Pokerstars and now have about 250. It says I have an uncleared deposit of $30 and I can only withdraw $210. Can someone please explain this to me?

it means pokerstars hasn't received the money from your bank yet.

Ahh Okay. How long does it take them usually?

I have a question for u guys...I am wanting to deposit money into pokerstars but am uneasy about giving out my ssn....I know ps is a well known site but still...is it safe to do?

I believe Stars sets a 10 day clearance period for echecks. They do this regardless of whether they have received it or not so it just means that you deposited less than 10 days ago. The $30 isn't "yours" to withdraw until the clearance period is over.

@ freakygurl

I agree with you. I have no idea why they need your SIN/SSN, but i just figured so many thousands of ppl had done it the risk is probably pretty small. I think it is safe to assume it is simply a confirmation of your identity/perhaps required for processing. I searched anything i could find to see of SIN leaks from depositing with echecks but couldn't find anything so I personally decided depositing using echecks would be fine. I figure if somebody is able to hack into pokerstars data files, they would be more likely to focus on accounts rather than trying to pull off some indentity fraud.

Thanks Feitr. Fun playin with you once again lol.
@Freakygurl, it's completely safe. Actually, it only makes it more secure. If someone was to steal your credit card, they would be able to use it and deposit, but if b/c you need your S/S#, the criminal would also need that to verify that it's you that's using your card. Just benefits you and I'm 100% sure they don't give it out to anyone for any price.

on the rare occasions i can deposit,e checks works just fine for me ,and some how clears in 3-4 days.
