It depends on who issued your Visa card.Stars properly codes their transactions as online gaming and some like RBC won`t approve it.CIBC will approve it but charge you a $5 service fee and consider it a cash advance.

Hi Bob! Thanks!

I think gov might have been waiting to add it for the new board software that`s coming. Daniel, gov and I discussed it back when you offered and Gov has the green light to add it.He is going to get back to you though VB.

moooooo

That`s because Full Tilt commits fraud and miscodes the transaction as something other than online gaming.When you see it posted it`ll probably be from Chico`s online house of Donkey Feed.

Do you have an app that alerts you every time someone mentions Feral Cow?

I used my credit card to get money on Pinnacle.I hadn't tried to deposit anywhere in forever, but back in the Stars/Party/UB days, it did not work at all for gambling sites.

Pinny might also be miscoding, most sites do it.Stars is the only one that I know of that never miscodes.

What's the deal with the stripes stopping play on delayed too many men calls while the non-offending team has the puck? They just did it in Pittsburgh, and stopped Detroit on a 2-on-1 in their game 7 against Phoenix.

[Zach6668 513]

Bob Cole is really losing it.Love the guy, he's a legend, but he's probably got to go after this year.

I dont recall where all the "whiteout" amongst the crowds talk was, but...........Lakers-Thunder game 6 is in Oklahoma City, and EVERYONE is wearing blue as Thunder fans.Thunder wearing home whites, Lakers in Blue.

[GWCGWC 83]

At least the Thunder sticks are white.

LOL..... like they're doing it the honest way? While taking millions of dollars of essentially illegal transactions in the U.S.? Yay, way to take the moral high road stars!

I guess I fail to see how Stars is doing anything wrong here. Their business is legal in their jurisdiction. They don't try to hide who they are or what they are billing to the credit card companies. It's not illegal for them to process cc transactions, the onus should be on the credit providers (ie banks) to allow or disallow the charges as they see fit. Where ftp differs is that they obviously code their transactions to look as though they are something other than online gambling.

Then why are stars execs afraid to step foot into the US? And why did the US government seize 30 million dollars from Stars holding accounts in NY? just sayin'.....

Because they know the US will alter or misinterpret laws to shut them down, if given the chance. The fact that what they're doing is not illegal is moot, because anyone can see the US would just make it illegal if they were able to enforce it...or tax it

yeah, I dont disagree. The former CEO/Owner of Party Poker paid a 300 million dollar fine for taking US deposits for a few months... hate to see what Stars and Tilt are going to have to pay!
