Stars Reload ??

whiteflash · #1 01-31-2007, 01:37 PM

Need to reload on Pokerstars.Lost my $1oo deposit after playing for about 6 months. Played mostly sit -n - go's with pretty good success. Swithed to NL cash games and overplayed Top pair a couple of times and and bingo [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] - need to reload. With netteller closed what is the best option. Stars is pushing epassporte but from reading on the forum looks like it is a hassle. Not opposed to moving to another site if something looks better.

Looking for advice on deposit options or which site is the best. Appreciate any info!

I am probably going to go with ePassporte because FullTilt also recommends it, and UB takes it too.

Go to Wallgreens and get a Visa prepaid gift card. It will cost you about 4 bucks for a 50 dollar card.

Really? Is this good on FT as well as PS? Can anybody verify? (I don't want to actually have to buy a couple of hundred dollars worth of crap at Walgreens.)

No it's a regular prepaid Visa, has nothing to do with Walgreens. You can get them at supermarkets too. They have $100 ones too.

I just happened to get mine at wallgreens. I have used one to deposit at UB. I am not sure how it works at the other sites, but I have seen a few people say they used them at Full Tilt also.

Thanks for the info. When you go to deposit with a credit card it says your funds will be deposited under differeent currency(another country) and then converted to US dollars. Any problems with doing it this way?

I have Visa card I can use, anyone just load up with their Credit card? Any problems? Seems like the easiest way but the currency exchange threw me off so I thought I would ask here first.

Thanks Again

Yes.

Be sure to get the Visa Gift Card that says in the fine print "accepted at locations worldwide", do NOT get the domestic use only cards.
