New Deposit Option on Pokerstars

I am amazed that ANYONE would pay these fees. If everyone refuses to do this, maybe the sites will give us a decent option. I would rather not play than pay this, and I am currently sitting out till they come up with a decent option. You guys are crazy.

Well if you already have money on stars and use this only to cash out you don't really pay any fees. When you cash out stars picks up the 4% fee or whatever it is, then you only have to pay the atm fee if you use the atm, and if you just use it at a store I don't think you have to pay any fee. So it really isn't that bad.

Its not bad at all if used wisely. Some people just aren't happy unless they are complaining about something.

Can anyone confirm this? I suppose you can get cash back at supermarkets or whatever like a regular debit card.

I had the offer and signed up...it was easy

[TheMetetron]

I still haven't gotten this [censored]. Annoying.

Not sure why I need a question mark when they now offer visa prepaid cards to players, send them out free of charge as well. Players are just responsible for ATM fees.

Can be used to deposit and cashout of Stars.

Sorry..haven't read the whole thread but how can I start using my online card immeidately if they don't supply the 3 digit # on the back? I just signed up so I don't have the physical card...

Thanks

You can load the card and withdraw out to the card but obv cannot use it at an ATM/store until you actually receive the card.

And I haven't yet been given this option either. Anyone know a time frame by which all players will have been given the option?

[MrGo]

Yes but how can I use it at stars when I don't have the 3 digit code? They require that for all Visa transactions. I e-mail Stars but they haven't replied back to me.

[Kazuma]

They give you the 3 digit code when they give you your cc number.

[MrGo]

is it also in the e-mail that is sent to you? i didn't write it down.
