Don't worry, it'll read as accepted on our end." WTF? Money is not there, and now the option is gone. |

Re: New Deposit Option on Pokerstars
I thought this was kind of weird.
I e-mailed them to change my middle-initial (they assign you one randomly evidently) and also asked why I couldn't deposit on other sites like bodog, WSEX and FTP. Their response: "your payTru pre-paid card can be used at the site in which you signed up for it and any where Visa is accepted. However, we do not approve gaming transactions." Ummm, does PokerStars not count as a gaming transaction? Weird. |

Re: New Deposit Option on Pokerstars
Has anyone not been offered the card at this point?
Because I haven't and I don't see any new posts about it in a while. |

Re: New Deposit Option on Pokerstars
Checked it right before that post. 5 mins later it's there. Applied for the card, 10-14 days til it gets here. Is there any way to load the card without a credit card? If not I'll just use it to withdraw, and never deposit.
