Would someone be willing to help me with a deposit?

I've been playing online at Poker Stars for a few months now, mainly freerolls and microstakes. I managed to make it to the final table three times and earned some cash through the Weekly Round 2 tournament. A measly $5, but money regardless. I had managed to build that up to $40 at one point in time but have just had the nastiest run of cards over the last two weeks. This afternoon I managed to crumble and lose it all. I'm now down below $1 and I can't even sit down and grind any longer. It's painful and embarrassing.

Would someone be willing to help out with a $50 deposit in to my account. I could send $60 via Paypal in exchange for the cash. I tried using my debit card and both credit cards but they will not go through. I know about the money order option but I really don't want to sit around for the next two weeks while that makes its way over to the UK.

If this is of interest to anyone, would someone please send me a PM?

Thank you for your time.

echeck?

Embarrassing to whom? The other micro players?

Pay your dues.

I don't think your going to get any help here. You have to realize that everybody here has payed or is paying their dues.

It also doesn't help that this looks a hell of a lot like a scam

On the off chance that this is not a scam...

... you can deposit with most debit cards on Bodog still.

Embarrassing to myself that I even have to ask.

Ok guys, I understand, no big deal. I didn't expect much help, obviously being new, but thought I would give it a shot.

Yes I just registered here, but no this is definitely not a scam. I have feedback on other various forums and have triple figure feedback on ebay where I'm a power seller. I've been a lurker here for quite some time soaking up information through posts and the strategies. I just haven't really ever had anything worthy to contribute to you more experienced players so I never took the time to sign up and post.

I'll figure out a way. Thanks for the consideration.

Thank you for the tip. I'll check that out.

I've never played any other place but PS and Full Tilt. Perhaps it's time for something new.

Bodog's cash games are really good games because the players are pretty week, but I think the lowest no-limit tables they have are 0.05/0.10

best thing about Bodog for new players is the fact that you can only play 3 tables, so you might actually learn how to play and not how to click buttons quickly.

Sounds good. I'm going to give them a try.

I always only play one table anyway and I'm not a donk button smasher. I just think I have really, really bad luck. I'll also be quick to admit that my game could definitely be much better, but we all have to start somewhere.

The surreal thing is that my online play is like the polar opposite of my home game play. The suckouts and bad beats I suffer online are just overwhelming.

hows your bankroll management?

Why won't your debit card/credit card work?

I'd so pretty non-existant at the moment. :lol:

That was a good read though and something I did not adhere to today. I got greedy and tried playing one level up from where I normally play, .10/.25 instead of .5/.10, and suffered the consequences for it. I definitely played with more than 10% of my BR and have learned not to make that mistake again.

I don't know. I plug all of them in and it comes back with a message saying something like "your request has been denied due to restrictions based on your credit card company". It certainly isn't due to a lack of funds.

Are you of age? FWIW I was playing online poker when I was 16 but that was before the OMFG UNDERAGE GAMBLING ADDICTION paranoia hit on a slow news day.

If you don't mind me asking, what banking company are you with? If its Natwest or RBS there is absolutely no reason at all why they wouldn't go through because they in fact collaberate with PokerStars.

Email [email protected] and ask wtf is going on.

Yes I'm well past the legal drinking age.

I use Washington Mutual and the system won't accept their debit card.

I'm going to contact my bank and see if they can lift that restriction on my account.

stars echeck option deposits straight from your checking account. use that.

oh dude i got you. how much do you need? $1000? $3000? $5000?

Can you not get a pre paid master card??? Thats what i use and it works on Stars. It cost like $20 to buy the card and then a couple dollers every time i want to load it.

If he's from the UK (I think he is), you can get a free one linked to Neteller account.

WTF, if u from UK/EU/ASIA/South America/Middle America get a fockin neteller or moneybookers and load it with a cc, then fund whichever poker room you want

If u from the US of A, echeck

I don't get why anyone from Europe would ever have problems. I've played on BlueSq, Everest, FullTilt & PS and have always used my debit card. No problem.

no

Paypal is not safe. IIRC, it's a common scam to cancel or undo a transaction.

Glad I could bring some humor to this fine forum. :wink:

And to those that have asked, I have added my location to the profile now. That might help to better explain the trouble I'm having.

Where could I buy a prepaid credit card to use? I've looked in various stores and can only seem to find phone cards.

Go to a grocerty store and buy the prepaid visa cards. $25 or $50 shall do.

It's been said twice now. If you have a bank account use eCheck on Pokerstars. stop looking for something else. This is the easiest option.
