Pokerstars transferred my account twice, it was only points, but still thought I should let you know...

Were the amounts the same or different as you might have had two different FCP accounts.

They were the same...I think it was 0 Cash and 102 Points and the points got transferred twice. But today I have a second question. Is it legal for pokerstars to force me to gamble before I can cashout my money? I live in the US and only option available is a check and they won't let me do that until I have $50 in my account. I only have $20 and hate the site.

Well I gambled and lost...I guess I won't be playing on stars any longer seeing as they essentially steal my money...

Don't mean to interject but I am not sure if it is legal. I do not like the idea that you need to have a certain amount to withdraw. At the same time.... it's your choice if you are going to just blow it in under 24 hours. You have the choice to attempt to work your roll up to $50 and then withdraw.You cannot blame Pokerstars for you losing your money.I am sure their $50 rule may not be cut and dry either. You just need to keep pushing if that $20 was that important to you. If you decide to gamble it away that quick, $20 was not an issue.Wipe your hands clean of Pokerstars and best of luck on your next venture.

I emailed them twice about it and they wouldn't budge. So I tried to build it to $50 but couldn't do it.
