Pokerstars cashing out?

[matt674]

I'll keep watching you monkeyboy - need some tips.

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

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.

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.

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)
