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.

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

Unlike the party situation, where both the good and bad players from the US left party, in this case only the bad players (the ones who need to deposit regularly!) will have to leave. So this probably affects everyone pretty uniformly.

LOL. If the European Union is your definition of freedom, I'd like to see what fascism looks like.... I'm quite happy over here, but thanks for the recommendation.

Seriously, nobody on this board likes this law that was passed. We're trying our best to deal with it and fight it. There is no need to criticize our country. Say something constructive or mind your own business.
