Is it legal to buy PS 'real money' from other players via PayPal?

Not only do I know it, he knows it to. He said something at the start of the thread, but then openly stated the opposite when asked to provide an example. He knows that his first statement was a lie. He just was making stuff up and got backed into a corner. And, now, he's insisting that I am the person who doesn't know what I am talking about, when I am not the one who was caught making stuff up.

He needs to limit his delusions to his own thread and stop polluting the rest of the forum with false information and bad ideas.

I am not deluded. He can go to prison for this if he does it enough times and at big enough scale.

At baby scale PS will have mercy.

my god , why do we have to keep correcting the imbecile who has no experience and no knowledge of the poker world at large.

Major forums have transfer threads specifically allowing people to move money from one site to another. The sites don't mind as it saves them having to pay fees on withdrawals or deposits to the payment processors that they work with.They just ensure that there is a play through requirrement before that money can be withdrawn. Its a win win for the sites as they get guaranteed rake from the playthrough and save themselves having to pay out fees.

secondly , how do you think staking stables operate when they are sending thousands of $ back and forth each day between the stable and players or player to player. Sites love stables to have their players on their site because again it generates rake for the site .

Ahhhhh Bullshit.

You have no idea what poker stars will or won't do. Let me have a guess, you believe in a pretend man in the sky also.

I will explain two things. First if the money is drug money etc it ends up with the poker room unable to prove that the transfer happened the other way around to what happened on their end so they can end up very bogged down in the case.

Secondly, if the second in the agreement doesn't pay the first it can completely tarnish the rep of the poker room when they get emailed and told to move the money back as now they have no proof but may be protecting a fraud.

English please, or at the minimum something understandable.

Just happen to be impatient with the 'local bank transfer' 4 business days option, wondering if players are allowed to transfer funds over PayPal to other players in exchange for a transfer of PS 'real money' on Pokerstars?

Similar to when players purchase in-game currency for video games using Skype for trust purposes etc.

Getting to the original point of this post, I would think it's like buying anything else online, just be aware you're not protected by paypal under certain circumstances so make sure it's from someone you trust. I haven't transferred money to another player so I'm not sure how it works, so pokerstars would see it as a normal transfer of funds with no idea about the outside payment

RM this is a friendly advise: you need to step back and just a take a break for a bit otherwise you are just going to ostracize yourself even more. It’s like you are driving down a one way street and everyone else on the road is driving in the opposing direction and honking at you, and yet you think all these other drivers are idiots who are the ones driving in the wrong direction.

Does it ever occur to you that it is *you* who might be driving in the wrong direction?

And even if what you say is true, why do you care? Are you an agent of PokerStars? As you said, PokerStars probably have some of the best lawyers to stand up for them who actually get paid for defending them when needed.

It's not at all like that. In this situation it is a one way road where I am the only one driving in the right direction.

Exactly.

Be careful you may wake up and crash.

If there is nothing written about this scenario in the PS rules, you can surely do this. I think you can do it anyways, as they have no tools to find out.

PS: After reading this thread I wonder if there is an option to block a user so I couldnt see his posts, lol

Good luck

Dude do you realize how many funds have been seized by PS for chip dumping. They have extremely sophisticated detection methods and will automatically flag and lock your account if suspicious activity takes place.

Why would Pokerstars provide us the option to transfer money to another player if they would have any problems with it being used ?
Au contraire, I think they love it because , as someone already told, the receiving player has to wager it.

# Ahoy: in the User Cp you can put someone in an ignore list.
I never did that myself, but I guess if you do so you will not see that member's posts anymore.

I might be wrong but I believe the original question involved transferring money, not chipdumping.
Chipdumping ofc is a big nono and is severely punished when someone get caught.

The only way to transfer money on the application is to chip dump. They have no other method of transferring funds apart from like a bank transfer as far as im aware. there are many stories of players losing their funds because they gave even small amounts of money to a friend to play

 

[Ahoy]

I was not refering to chipdumping... I guess there is no problem in sending other player money via the in-client money transfer. They loose nothing. I think they only care about activity that cuts them off of profit and this action does not do so.
But I am not 100% sure

+ as 10058756 mentioned above, you gotta wager those money so you basically cant even withdraw them - whats better for them?

Oh if there is a legit money transfer system that they implemented then obviously its legal. I just wouldnt trust a guy to actually transfer the funds after yoy pay him

 

[Ahoy]

I guess you might be new to pokerstars, and yes there is legal way to transfer funds to other players

Well I would only do that with my friends or a trusted person.


Good Luck
