Wstar 0 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Just wondering if anyone here uses PNC bank and has made a deposit into Pokerstars.I have been with National City Bank forever and they got bought out by PNC. I have made deposits in the past with National City, but PNC is rejecting them. I contacted PNC and got this in return... I understand you concerns, regarding using your check card for an onlinegambling company outside the U.S.. However, In accordance with thepolicy of the U.S. Justice Department, PNC declines the use of any PNCBank Check Card for offshore online/Internet gambling transactions.Websites that are outside of the United States are considered to beoffshore. We appreciate their business and apologize for anyinconvenience this policy may have caused. Please let us know if youhave any additional questions.I guess my question is, Is there anyway around this or to fight it? Can I argue the fact that its not Gambling? If anyone has any information, it would be great. My only other option is Western Union which charges outrages fees. Link to post Share on other sites

If they think that you're using your account for online gaming transactions they could decide to close the account down.Contact Poker Stars support about the best way for you to make a deposit since they know what is and isn't working.

gatortom64 1 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Apparently Florida shut down E-checks as well. All transactions since the middle of last December were cancelled. Lets just say, I will NOT be playing online for a while. Link to post Share on other sites

DiamondDixie 12 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Wow no e-checks, damn! I wonder if Georgia is affected by this too. I also wonder if it will affect withdrawls to e-checks. THIS JUST SUCKS!!! Maybe you can send someone in Canada money and let them transfer to you. Or have you tried loading an all access Visa card to use? Link to post Share on other sites
