Between Pokerstars and 888Poker, how safe is it to withdraw funds?

[schon1958]

Hello friends, we already know pokerstars and we also know 888Poker, both are the best poker rooms in the world for me, now my question is. Which of these online poker rooms is the safest when we try to withdraw from our online ATM when we are players from different countries! Which one do you put less obstacles to when withdrawing funds from accounts such as: skrill, neteller, Payoneer?

Both are safe, reliable and fast.

888 has a rule that any withdrawal is only processed after 72 hours (24 hours if you are a Gold VIP) and anytime with in that time you can cancel your withdrawal. After that time frame elapses I get my money within hours. I use Neteller these days 888.
You can see the table on this link for time frames for 888 https://www.888poker.com/real-money-poker/cashout/payment-time-frames/

Pokerstars has a rule that after a deposit you must wait 48 hours after to withdraw. For ewallets Pokerstars will credit back any deposits you made in last year first in which case you get funds immediately in you account. If you do not have any credit back deposits it will not be instant. Most times I get money in 2 hours if I have no credit back. For Pokerstars I use Skrill and ecoPayz.

Both rules above is geared towards preventing fraud and money laundering.

Stars is much more developed in terms of the number of secure withdrawal methods.

For me both have been completely hassle free. Stars deposit the money in my bank account, and this is not even something, I can choose. In my country everyone must have a bank account, which the government can use for refunding excess taxes and so on, and Stars use that as well. This takes exactly 2 banking days. 888 Poker pay the money to the credit card, which I last used for depositing, and again this is not even optional. It takes exactly 3 banking days. I understand, that it might be different in other countries, so this is just to give an example.

In my country, pokerstars is by far the best poker room to withdraw. They deposit the money direct to my bank account in a 1-2 days. All the others poker rooms take at least 1 week to pay.

Hello, I use Skrill, to withdraw money from both poker rooms, and for me both are very safe, the difference is that pokerstars in a couple of hours after making a withdrawal, in my last withdrawal it was very fast, less than an hour .
In the case of 888 poker, I believe that 3 or 4 days my money arrives at skirll.

Hello, I would like if someone could guide me in withdrawing money from 888poker and transfer it to pokerstars virtually without having to do something personally through a bank account or credit card. There is some way, I would appreciate it if you could detail the steps to follow.

Check with 888 Poker and see which withdrawal options are available to you.
Check with Pokerstars and see what deposit options are available to you.

Ideally an ewallet like Skrill/Neteller/ecoPayz would accomplish what you are trying to achieve.

The only problem is those poker rooms limit the deposit and withdrawal options based on regions so I cannot tell if it would work for you.

For me I can use Neteller to withdraw funds from 888 Poker and deposit on Pokerstars.

Alternatively you can get a friend who plays on both sites and willing to help to do a peer to peer transfer for you as both site offer transfers.

Thank you very much if I am creating a virtual wallet to try to make the withdrawal and transfer at the moment I do not have any friend or trusted ATM that can make the transaction but I thank you very much for the response
