Party Poker Question:
 

Was thinking about cashing out some money from Party, so read up on it and there's something I don't get.

Says you may only use a 'Visa' card to cash out, but then it says this:

Local regulations prohibit VISA Cash out to residents of the following countries:
U.S.A
Canada

So what now? Does this mean I can't ever cash out?:confused:

I believe Party has the ability to mail you a cheque, do they not?

Otherwise, why don't you have a neteller account?

I've never cashed out at party, ( just started a couple days ago there .) but i'm almost positive that they send checks out in the mail. somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know what a neteller account is. :o
Never used anything like that.

btw...tried looking for u last night, found you but I think you were hiding. *showed a 0 next to your name*

IGM-Pay
 

I highly recommend IGM-Pay for Party transactions -- very fast, very reliable. For a long time, where was even a bonus on first deposit via this method, but I don't know if this is still the case.

You should definitely have a Neteller account. Go get one now - only takes a minute to sign up.

IGMPay is a fine option too, but you can always just have them send you a check. That's certainly easy enough - it's just slow.

Agreed! I didn't have a Neteller account until I setup my account at Full Contact. On UB I used Citadel and on PS I just bounced it in from my Visa. But Neteller is pretty much universally accepted across all sites and makes it very easy to move money back and forth between them. It's fairly quick as well withdrawing from a site into Neteller (usually 2-3 days). Also, they do offer a debit card but the fees seem kinda high to me.

How about if I transfer the money to a friend; which in turn deposits it in my Stars account. Does Stars let you cashout through a credit card?

No.

Leaves me no choice but ....to get a NETELLER!

Ok ...going to sign up for one now before I lose all my 'mula' at Party. :rolleyes:

Well your other choice is to have them send you a check but I think it's has to be a minimum of $50.

Ok that's sounds good too. Yeah I have more than $50. What do I do, just call them up? And tell them to send me my money?

Sorry I'm so dumb, never had any real money to take out before now. :o

Try clicking the "Cash Out" button. :rolleyes:

Just a hunch. :p

LOL...funny guy. ;)

What can I say, even brunettes have 'blonde' moments. :rolleyes:

Edit: Ok wasn't a blond moment afterall. I remembered going to the 'cash out' button, but when you said it; I forgot about it. And so I tried it again and got the same message, saying I don't have a real money account; and in order to cash out I'd need to open up a real money account.


Why does everything have to be so complicated & difficult?:mad:

I prefer to use carrier pigeons.

I used to use smoke signals, but I couldn't understand their crazy half-English half-Indian smoke responses. So I've used the button ever since.

Scroll up to my Edited Post. The 'button' doesn't work for me.

LOL. Rook, rook, rook. How in the world...

1. ...Are you playing for REAL MONEY if you don't have a REAL MONEY ACCOUNT?

2. ...Do you expect to CASH OUT for REAL MONEY when you don't have a REAL MONEY account?

They aren't just going to give you someone else's money or Play Money or whatever it is you are trying to do. There are plenty of security reasons for this, that I won't go into here, but trust me - That's not how it works.

Obviously you need to verify your account and become a real money player first.

Please don't tell me you fell for one of those "Free $50" scams instead of signing up for an account under this forum's links. That would make TP sad. :(

If it sounds too good to be true - guess what? You got it.

No scam. I did sign up with your link TP. Plus an added bonus.
And I've been winning... see. PartyPoker is like the best! I won....'all kinds' in there today.

I just want to take some of it out before I lose it all. And Party won't let me. :( :mad:

Help! Need to find a way to get my money out.

Guess 'neteller' is the way to do it then or will I still not be able to 'cash out'?:confused: :confused:

Huh?
 

This thread verges on the ridiculous.

How did you get money INTO your account?

Serious online players should have both Netteller and IGM-Pay accounts. Being the paranoid type, I went to the trouble of opening a physical bank account just to link to these, so that my day-to-day bank account wasn't involved in any online poker transactions. ING would work fine as well.

Netteller is good because it is accepted by every major poker site, and is a relatively trusted source for financial transactions.

IGM-Pay is good because it is instant, and there may still be a separate bonus you can with your first IGM deposit.

Either of them will allow to quickly and easily get money into and out of your Party account.

God damnit!

That explains the random cashouts and deposits that are constantly happening in my account! I'm sending out smoke signals on the regular!

How the hell can you "not be a real money player," yet have real money to cash out? Has that been answered yet?:confused:

This is the $100,000 play money question.

What I think is even more interesting is if I was getting an error saying something along the lines of: "You can not cash out because you are not a real money player," I would, you know, do whatever it takes to become a real money player. I THINK that requires all of providing them with a name, address and phone number, and maybe making a deposit. I'm not sure.

I would think Rook would have already had to do all of those things in order to be playing there with REAL money... but maybe not. My guess is someone gave her money there and she's now trying to cash it out without giving Party any info, which is of course not going to happen. And I don't blame Party one bit for that.

No comment....

Rook - how in the world do you expect us to be able to help you out if you won't tell us what's going on?

LOL... I don't really think this is an issue of Cash out METHOD (ie, check, Visa, IGM, Neteller, etc, etc), as much it is an issue of you needing to give Party the information they are asking for that will classify you as a real money player. Until then, consider it play money, because they aren't going to let you have it.
