Which do you recommend most?

I downloaded the Starsbuddy but haven't used it much. That thread on 2+2 worries me a little, though. Would probably be wise to all those who downloaded it (when I posted it), to uninstall it, till we are certain it is clean and free from bugs.

I have emailed PokerStars asking them if they sent me an update, haven't heard from them as of yet.

[stormswa]

from what I'm to understand with stars is that some people have some opions and some dont. They are trying new options all the time and selecting random people to try these options before they give it to the mass. So with that in mind some have some options and some dont.

I just installed stars because it wasnt on my computer since I reset to factory and here is what mine looks like.

Hello Sophie,

MoneyBookers is a new deposit option that is currently being
introduced to a small subset of our players to ensure that there are no
major flaws or bugs. Unfortunately we cannot alter the groups as they
are system defined. It will eventually be rolled out to bigger groups
as our introduction continues.

Your patience is appreciated and thank-you for choosing PokerStars!

Regards,

Gabriel

Mon Dieu, je peux respirer maintenant!

I was right about something YIPPIE!!!!



I have actually had the cashier go to private chat with me and try to figure out ways for me to deposit when my card was declined. I feel special or they just want my rake!!


honestly though they have been trying new methods for months now and I don't see any new options so I'm very skeptical.

That's good to hear. At least we know it wasn't a hack or anything like that. I also have a suspicion WHY StarsBuddy is hooking into explorer.exe and I'm pretty sure it's harmless. That said, I don't plan on running it again until I'm able to confirm said suspicion.

[bunny]

I feel responsible, since I posted the link to the StarsBuddy on this forum, so please don't use it till we get confirmation, as to the safety of this software.

pre paid via (for deposits)


virtual visa at walgreens should work

keep it low key on the dl

[stormswa]

not for long, the visa companies are finding out that this is going towards gambling and are telling the sites they have to stop that. Visa dosent like to be associated with gambling so its only a matter of time till this option is gone all together.

someone didnt keep it on the DL obviously.

A question and a comment:

1. Why is this in Off Topic? I'll move it.

2. After reading the 2p2 thread, my hunch is that StarsBuddy is clean. IF, however, it is not and does have a keylogger attached to it, uninstalling it isn't enough - your account may have already been compromised. So for anyone who has used it, be smart - change your Stars password immediately.

Got the new update today. Moneybookers works awesome.

[MAYHEM45]

I hope everything works out alrite with moneybookers then. Now If only Full tilt would add them too it'd be just like the neteller days for me.

[bunny]

Alright, scare is over and poll is officially over. If Mayhem will go through all this for moneybookers, I am sure it's the best one out of the two.

This also affected my decision to choose moneybookers.

[MAYHEM45]

The only thing that sucks is the relatively low limits per 90 day period moneybookers has, but I'll gladly trade that for ridiculous fees. the only fees moneybookers has is about 2 bucks to cashout via EFT, which is nothing compared to 50 bucks, lol.

[bunny]

Mayhem - What currency is best to use with moneybookers? (I had Neteller set to USD)

[stormswa]

I actully had a moneybookers account and didnt know it maybe I will try this out.


seems like I can not use my bank account for some weird reason, will try it with my debit card.


debit card seems to work fine and the fee of 1.65% seems fair.

[Reel Deal]

Moneybookers takes U.S. customers?

[Reel Deal]

That made me LOL.

[Ando05]

im using epassporte right now and ya it is a ripoff, so if full tilt can offer moneybooker, i'll defently use that

[bunny]

(Accounts must be held at the same branch and be in the same currency)

My bank will not allow this type of transfer. *merde*

Weird way to deposit on moneybookers. I truly am starting to miss Neteller now.

[MAYHEM45]

You cant do it through online banking. Print out the transfer details and bring them to the teller at your bank.

I havent deposited into Moneybookers, and probably never will though, so take that FWIW. The eft cashout to my bank account took 3 days though. You need to call and ask your bank for their SWIFT code to set that up though.

All in all it appears everything besides neteller is a huge pain in the ass. I miss neteller so much . Moneybookers is the best option of them all right now tho.
