MD Residents - what pay service/method will you use now?

I tried e-checks on Stars and it works but...there are limits like $500/week intially. Furthermore, it is rather sensitive, if you try multiple smaller deposits, it will reject a request and you have to wait longer before your next deposit.

It did work however

You can deposit & cashout by wire if you mail support to ask for details. You have to deposit/withdraw fairly large sums though - $1k either way, say.

MD is the house here also. I had used firepay pretty much exclusively, and have always hated not having access to Neteller. About half a year ago I got into Epassporte. This is accepted at Full Tilt, Pokerroom , and Hollywood poker for both deposit and withdraw. It is also accepted at Absolute for deposit. I think it may work at Doyle's room for both deposit and withdraw. It is not accpeted at Stars. Thank god I was able to use Party last week to move about 5k of my working roll from Firepay-> Party -> Epassporte.

In my mind, us MD'ers need to petition both Stars and Absolute to use Epassporte for deposit/withdraw now that Firepay is Busto. I know other things like central coin and click 2 pay are around, but if worse comes to worse, I will probably just give e-checks a try.

How does stars process a cashout if you deposit by e-check?

Nice.

If anyone from MD uses something other than FP or NetTeller for Stars, FTP, or UB, please let us know.

I would imagine straight checks to/from the site would work.
Certainly looking for something a bit quicker. Beggars can't be choosers at this point.

At least with FT, straight checks are not an option for me. They deliver them with UPS and charge a ~$33.50 delivery fee, plus it takes time.

This really cuts into anyone's profit who is playing micro's and or bonus whoring.

The rules about cashouts for e-checks are listed on Stars site:

So has anyone used Neteller with a PO Box in a nearby state?

[silentbob]

The problem is that the P.O. Box needs to match up with the address for your bank account. Obviously, you could open up a bank account with the non-MD P.O. Box address but if you're a MD resident whose SSN is linked to paying taxes in MD, that may be tough to pull off?

epassorte. and it has a debit vis card.

Can epassporte be used at sites that "accept Visa" but make no mention of epassporte?

How do I get money out of epassporte and back into my bank?

What operations cost money? I see an awful 5% charge for loading the card from my personal Visa.

I haven't read this whole tread because I don't live in MD, but couldn't you just open out of state mail box and an ING savings account. Then fund Neteller.

Yes but you must upgrade to the visa electron card which costs either 25 or 35 dollars

Same way you do with Neteller or Firepay. EFT. Their EFTs seem to take longer than Firepay's or IGMpays though. There is also a 2 dollar charge per withdraw and you start with a limit of 300 to withdraw per day. Apparently this can be upped by talking to support.

I believe you can do transfers direct from your bank account like EFTs or e-checks, but you do have to wait for that to clear.

This is exactly what I am asking. Has anyone done this or can anyone confirm this works or doesn't work?
