So how do fish and new players deposit on Stars?

[binions]

Visa/MC are out, unless you live abroad.

Stars recommends EPassporte, but they charge outrageous fees (at least 5% per load). And who knows how long they will continue to exist.

The other way is money order/cashier check, but that is so slow and doesn't help when a player busts on tilt and wants to reload.

I am not so worried about cashing out. I have never had a problem with PokerStars checks. I am starting to get very concerned about other Americans' ability to deposit.

For now Epassport, cashier's check, or money order.

Alernative methods are likely being worked out right now and might take a little bit of time to implement.

So if you're a fish, just pay the fees for a couple of weeks. You were going to lose that money at the tables anyways.

I guess it is going to dry up on your side of the pond. Lots of fish will not go through with all the hassle and who knows how long FTP and Stars will accepts US players.

I was under the impression that a ton of fish just used the 8% Neteller Instacash option.

So 5% isn't that bad for them?

u didn't have to pay the fee when using the insta-cash through the poker site itself, so this wasn't really a factor for fish...

[blutarski]

how is it that people can use VISA Mastercard? I thought they all prohibited transfers to gambling sites? Mine do.
