why don't you use the echecks method? That one is pretty painless (if you have a checking account that is).

Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

Was it a Domestic (Greenish) or International (blue) money order? You'd have to send Stars an International money order.

Use Western Union - they are very accessible and take cash. The only downside is a small fee - $15 to deposit $100 but you'd probably agree it's worth it at this point.

Hey gonefishin420,
its called the UIGEA. Don't be angry at Stars because of this, instead, focus your anger in its entirety at Washington, specifically on Bill Frist.

It's probably not a very good idea to send in a check or a money order to an online poker room, you never know if or when they'll get the money. Just open a checking account or apply for a credit card.
