>Hi, I have a question about your new deposit option. I see on the payTru
website that there is a 4% (plus 50 cents) loading fee, and it's my
understanding that a cashout from PokerStars would count as a loading. I
also read on an poker forum (
www.twoplustwo.com) that PokerStars will cover
these fees when cashing out, but not when depositing. In other words,
here's my understanding of the situation:
>
>I load $500 onto my paytru card---> paytru takes out $20.50 and the
remaining $479.50 goes to my PokerStars account.
>I withdraw $1000 from my PokerStars account---> paytru takes out $0---> If
I want to withdraw from an ATM, there's a flat $4 ATM fee.
>
>Is my understanding of the situation correct?
Hello Sean,
Your understanding on the 4% + 0.50 load fee to transfer funds from your
Visa/MasterCard into your payTru account is correct. Also, you're right
about there not being any fee charged when you move funds from PokerStars
to your payTru account.
The fee to withdraw funds from your payTru VISA Debit card from an ATM is
$2.50 and not $4.00.
In addition, there is a $2.95 monthly service charge applied by payTru but
only if your card carries a balance.
If you have any other questions or you'd like to share your experience with
us once you've used your payTru VISA Debit Card, we'd very much appreciate
receiving your feedback on this new method.
Best regards,
Veronica
PokerStars Payments Supervisor
IMO, this is going to be a great way to get money off of the site, and a great way for fish to deposit. Awesome job Stars.
