Eight_Tabler 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 "eChecks is a great deposit option which allows you to make safe and secure electronic fund transfers (EFT), directly from your bank account to your PokerStars account.As a loyal and valued PokerStars player we'd like to offer you this option during our special introductory phase. As of right now eChecks is only being made available to a limited number of players.eChecks allow you to load your account instantly (providing you have no past negative eCheck history), so you can hit the tables and get in the game in no time at all! Simply click on the Instant eChecks icon in the PokerStars Cashier to make a deposit.Play well!The PokerStars Team"Also, when you go to make a deposit by eChecks it says: "Instant eChecks are now available to a limited number of players with plans to make eChecks available to all U.S. players in the near future."This is very good news... makes it much easier/cheaper for people in the U.S. to deposit/reload. Is everyone seeing this message when they login? To me this is a definite sign that online banking/transaction companies are becoming less worried about potential legal action with regards to online poker. You guys agree?

Eight_Tabler 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 I do not see the option. Is this just a way to deposit, or can you withdraw as well?looks like my only option for withdrawing is still check by mail... Hopefully that will change also, but depositing is most important IMO.

GWCGWC 83 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hey Stars, that's pretty sweet that you're offering this option for deposit. If you check my deposit history for the last 4 years, you'll notice that the only time I've ever deposited with your site is when you're offering a re-deposit bonus and yet I play there everyday.Oh wait, do you think you could offer another bonus before the end of this calender year? Come on deposit bonus...........ONE TIME! Link to post Share on other sites

Flushgarden 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 It says unavailable to Canadian players...but available to americans please yes let it be so?Also support recently told me a deposit bonus is coming soon. Link to post Share on other sites
RDog 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Wow, very good news. Withdrawal is much less of an issue IMO. Anyone that regularly withdraws is more than happy to wait for our checks while the fishies can instantly reload. Please, please be just the beginning. This along with a bunch of Visa/MC's working on FT is very good news. Link to post Share on other sites

RDog 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Noo theyre not the fish we need.Pretty sure there are tons of fish with 4000 FPP's. You don't have to be any good to rack up FPP's.
