Echeck Deposit PokerStars

I was wondering if anyone has used the ECHECK deposit option on pokerstars and banks with TD canada TRUST. I have been trying to deposit with this option but for some reason it wont work. All my information matches the bank and my account so idk whats going wrong. Could the bank not allow this transaction ? Anyone deposit this way who uses TD if so were u successful?

I think many people use an Echeck as a deposit method for PokerStars - although I have heard problems recently depending on which bank you use. It isn't a 100% foolproof system so it is highly likely that your Echeck deposit attempts are getting blocked.

I use TD Canada Trust and have had no problems depositing with E-Check. Not sure what the issue is, try contacting pokerstars support and see what they say.

are you trying to do it with a stars account that is set up from the us?

it wouldnt work for me when i tried to use my tdbanknorth account, because you cant mix funds (meaning you cant fund an us account with a canadian bank account)

since i technically live in ny (literally right on the border), but i have my banking in quebec, i had to use the allaccess visa to deposit

edit:
this is because when i first set up my stars account, i did it from a us ip address, so they automatically set it up in us funds
had i known all of this then, i would had opened my stars account in canada, then i would be able to deposit and withdraw straight to my bank account with echecks

no both my accounts are set up in canada.....

i would say to email them then, because you shouldnt have a problem on the tdbanknorth end

Golf I had the same problem as you. I opted to go with a 'load-as-you-go' Titanium Master Card available at Money Mart. Works the same as any credit card but there is a one time $20 reg'd fee and a monthly maintenance charge.It still keeps my Visa safe from any parasites and I can use it for any poker site (or any other CC purchases) as needed. Unfortunately we don't have the same luxury as the US where they can walk into a convenience store and drop down $25 for a VISA gift card (certain ones only) and away you go.

Given that Stars and Tilt require copies of ID and other verifications that never seem to satisfy them on the first attempt, this is rather easy and the lack of BS headaches actually makes the fee worthwhile compared to the time, effort and costs of faxing info repeatedly.

Just a suggestion. If you're on the west coast, there is a bank, BMO maybe or possibly Scotia (google will find it) that offers a VISA or MC gift card.
