Pokerstars Echeck and Cashout options

[Ridge]

So, does anyone know what the deal is at pokerstars?? The only cahsout options I have is checks.. It says echecks are disabled temporarily...

When is Echecks coming back?

When will there be some more options??

Anyone have any more info? Is this just an issue with my account??


Carly? Anyone??

Supposedly paper checks are 2-4 days though, and if that is true it's nearly as good as e-checks.

The US situation is getting choked.

I don't remember the exact day, but the other day when I told you I cashed in a tourney mjm, I cashed out, I'm thinking that was like.. . not a week, but more than 4 days.. No check so far, and that IS the only option, aside from selling off the chips here at PAP which usually works really well and simple here... but I think due to the dontlook episode and other recent scams, that method is going to sour here real soon too.

I do remember the check option being pretty quick though. Before I found the money gram option.

Hi,

Due to unreliable service from our previous processor, the eCheck cashout option remains unavailable.

While we work with new processors to offer better service, this cashout option has been turned off. At this time, we don't have an estimated time for eCheck cashouts to be reactivated, however we hope to offer them again soon.

Please select alternate withdrawal options in the meantime, such as
paper cheques or wires (restrictions apply).

We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause you - I will let you know as soon as I have an update!

Thanks,
Carly

Moneygram would be cool, but I don't see that option Cathy.. Also, I only see checks, wire transfer would work.. How do i get this option Carly??

Also, will they send a check to a PO box?? I kinda live in the middle of nowhere, so I'm never suprised when people refuse to deliver there..

There's just checks Ridge. They money gram option ended last weekish. I think there was an email. Bank wires aren't available in the US as far as I'm aware. And, Carly explained the eChecks.

Just paper checks.

I think there's a waiting period if you change your address, aside from that, I'm not knowing about the PO Box thing.. Carly?

Hi!

You can get a wire transfer within the US if the amount is over $5000.
As for checks to PO Boxes, this is something that we recommend that you don't do, but will allow.

Thanks,
Carly
