Why is PokerStars doing nothing?

[Petomane]

I see people here rushing to try out different e-wallets. After the Neteller catastrophe, with millions of dollars stuck in limbo, you want to pour more money in? Who's to say it won't happen to e-passport tomorrow?

If the poker sites want to keep the American market, it's up to them to find solutions, not us. And if they can't find any, well then, we can't play online for the time being.

What worries me is that PokerStars is doing nothing (Full Tilt came up with MyWebATM, but who wants that rock garden where you can't even re-size tables? I'd rather not play at all). After the zillions they made off American players, you would think they'd be offering really juicy bonuses if you sent WU or cashier's check (I'd send one with a good incentive). But no. You'd think they'd be offering to cash in your FPP points to top off your bankroll. But no. In fact, they're doing nothing.

It's like they're not interested in keeping the American market.

Maybe it's too dangerous and there's a lot of other world left to operate in.

What's wrong with setting up an eppasporte to deposit money on Stars but request checks for cashing out and just leaving all the money on Stars. Pstars seems quick about sending checks and I rather trust them with my money then theses 3rd party members.

Maybe they are taking their time to get it right.

BTW, Stars doesn't have any tournies starting for the next few hours so it looks like there is an update of some sort coming.

Doing nothing? I think they are doing alot by not leaving usa residents in the dust. It is still very easy to deposit/withdraw for all. Bless them for not being the skirt that ran away.

I have on good authority that a payment processor is coming in the next week or so.

Holla.

I'm fine with paper checks coming out. I just want to make sure guys that stack with middle pair can still get their money IN.

ZBT, thanks for the good news.

actually what pokerstars and all sites are doing wrong is not putting any pressure on neteller at all to pay US customers. In the past when a sportsbook would stiff people it was bad for the industry. But most of the time not that many people would hear about it, or if they did it was because another book would bail them out. With neteller everyone who gambles online has heard about this nonsense. If Neteller ends up stiffing everyone these sites will lose on a lot more than the people who are getting sitffed will lose in the long wrong.

yeah, but can they get my seized money out of neteller?
