FCP Bob 1,323 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 what is the best (and easiest) way to get money online?A lot of that depends on what country you live in.If you're an American using the e-check option should be the easiest. It's like writing a check and the money comes straight from your bank account. Link to post Share on other sites
roadhawg 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 how safe is the e-check option? and how easy is it to cash out? (if that day were to ever come, LOL) Link to post Share on other sites
dreed 0 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I have heard that pre-paid VISA cards or pre-paid credit cards work as well but haven't confirmed that. Does anyone know if that is true or false?***For U.S. players that is*** Link to post Share on other sites

Contact support@pokerstars.com to get assistance in which cards to get...they don't all work..but they will walk you through finding the correct pre-paids.EChecks is very secure also.

I use epassporte because it has been very easy and reliable and despite the annoying fees. Link to post Share on other sites
LJH2100 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 If you do use the gift card option and find one that works, keep that card and reload it if possible, that way no more guesswork is involved. Link to post Share on other sites
