PokerStars Question

[DVDMagic]

I'm looking to get back into some online poker and know that PokerStars is one of the more popular sites that I believe is still open for US players to play on.

Which is the best way to deposit when using the site? I used to have NetTeller, but I know they no longer accept US players. Can you just use your regular debit card linked to your bank account? Or do you have to use a "middle man" so to speak similar to NetTeller?

Also, for those that have had experience, how is when it comes to cashing out winnings? Can the funds be transferred directly to your bank, or is it a case of having a check cut and mailed to you? If so, how long does that generally take?

Lastly, what is the minimum deposit that can be made on the site?

Appreciate any help/info with this.

eChecks is the best and easiest way to roll these days

Bank account + routing number + social security number and you're set

Min is $25 (I think), max is $500 (I think).

Cashouts apparently take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on if there's bank issues or not.

eChecks make me nervous. I HATE giving away my SS# if Idont have to.

I used moneygram and it was very easy. You set it up in advance, drop the money off at a moneygram location and it automatically processes.
