blonde poker forum

Hi everyone, this is my first post.

quick question, i am away to deposit via my visa debit card into pokerstars but noticed a little sign saying that they can not cash out back to my visa card. why is this and how do i get my money if i want to cash out? is a tricky process?

thanks in advance, scottc.

Welcome to the forum.

My advice is to either open a $ Neteller account or if you need the money asap ask for a sterling cheque.

thanks for the reply, i haven't even deposited yet but i was just a bit wary when i saw the bit saying i couldn't get the money cashed back to card. i'm just used to playing on VC where it was simpler.

so if i deposit from my card just now and decide to cash out in future it shouldn't be too difficult?

I cashed out of Pokerstars 2 weeks ago, within a day the money was in my Neteller account and within 3 days the money was in my bank account.

If you really really  want, you can get a Neteller Debit card.

Withdrawl from poker site to neteller takes less than a day. From neteller to neteller debit card is pretty much instantaneous.

So you can get the cash on same day. Fees are a pisser though.

They do cash out to visa debit cards

thanks, help appreciated. now lets just hope i have winnings to cash out!

they send you a cheque if you request - it takes about 4 days to arrive.

People cash out from pokertars?? never!!

although it's not clearly advertised, UK customers who deposit with a debit card can have the funds back on the same card. you need to do it through customer services rather than automated.

There has been a few threads on this subject over the last few months and they always confuse me

I cash out from stars to my debit card

I have always cashed out to my debit card

It IS automated

I DON'T go through customer services

what does 'cash out' mean pls......

ty

you can only withdraw upto the amount deposited back to the card.

If you deposit $600 on monday and by the end of the week have built your bankroll upto $2000 and decide to cash out they will only let you withdraw $600 back to your card. You then have to withdraw a second time for the remaining $1400 by either requesting a cheque direct from pokerstars or having the balance sent to a neteller account if you have one.

5 cashes and 3 final tables on pokerstars in under a fortnight - keep that record going and you'll soon figure it out :)up

i actually feel i am still struggling in the MTT's a little - although i finalled again yesterday in the 540 runner $10 comp - i only managed 8th. I'll keep watching you monkeyboy - need some tips.

the $2-$4 cash table seem to be working though  :D

You'd be better doing the exact opposite of me at the moment, cant hit a cow's @r$e with a shovel!! Just bits and pieces to keep the bankroll ticking over without anything big.

4 final tables in 2 weeks leads me to believe you dont need help from anyone ;)

No, this is NOT the case (for me anyway)

I deposited $500 into my pokerstars account recently, using a new Visa debit card that has just been issued to me. I was lucky enough to have a couple of decent wins which took my balance to over 20K, I have since cashed out about $4k back to the same card without any problems.

They do send you a peculiar email though, it says, "Your initial deposit of $500 has been returned to your Visa card, the remainder of the amount you requested will be transfered to your visa card"

I honestly feel that there is one rule for one and a different rule for another regarding cashouts from Pokerstars.

I've only every made one deposit using my debit card - $600 during the last 20% deposit bonus scheme. When i came to withdraw an amount from my account last month it would only allow me to transfer $600 back to my card, i had to withdraw the remainder of my request to my neteller account and request a cheque from them. (I actually got the cheque at the same time as the funds reappeared in my account so it didnt make any difference)
