[EzDuzIt]

ummm wtf. this makes my life 10x harder. so i have to wait for a check everytime i want money now? before its always been like oh car insurance is due withdraw and have my money in my bank account in like 2 days.

[martindcx1e]

so wtf should i cash out from ftp right away or what?

[lolzzz_321]

u don't have an e check option to cashout?

[boost]

ouch

[Hawk]

This sucks. I have no idea how I'll be transferring money to/from my bank and site to site.

[lolzzz_321]

FTP and stars both have check, echeck things... Don't they hae click2pay too? Cake says they are geting new processors and if u send them some ID they will cut u a check!

[bigspenda73]

echeck looks to be really easy if you're on Stars and it looks like FTP is going to it too

easy for fish too

[martindcx1e]

u don't have an e check option to cashout?

i just looked and there is bank transfer, epassporte (i guess that will change soon in an update) and check. what is bank transfer? i didn't think americans could use that or is that supposed to be the e-check? i assumed the e-check option would actually say e-check.

EDIT: i'm sure my money is safe in ftp though

[lolzzz_321]

Hello Triptanes,

Thank you for your email. As you may be aware the movement of checks has not always been ideal since the signing of the UIEGA. CakePoker employs a number of processors to help us move checks out to our players. While we have continued to deliver checks to our US resident players, checks in excess of $2500 US$ have been handled by a specific group of processors that has proven to be less effective over time. In an effort to compensate we are introducing a few new processors this week that we expect to bring check processing and delivery times down significantly. With these new processors we are required to formally confirm the identification of the individual before a check can be dispatched. As a result you will be required to provide picture identification in the form of a driver’s license or a passport. Although you may have provided this or similar ID is past we do not keep these documents on file so unfortunately you will have to forward it along again to our support team. Once you have provided this identification you will not be required to provide it again on subsequent check requests.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.



Kind Regards,

Cake Poker Support

stars or ftp?

[lolzzz_321]

FTP and Stars:"Instant e check" to deposit

FTP has "bank transfer" to cashout, I am not sure about stars

[lolzzz_321]

ya americans can use it!

[martindcx1e]

nice although i don't see bank transfer on ftp's actual website. what are the details like fees and stuff?

[lolzzz_321]

i don't think there was a fee to withdrawal, maybe they deduct it from ur MGR? I forget and I am really tired now. I guess email them and ask for it if it isn't in your cashier.

no biggie

the poker sites have been extremely lax about setting up much easier methods of transfer anyways. we should never have even used ewallet mediums in the first place. getting around the technicals for direct transfers is probably easy as pie, yet poker sites have pretty much all been lazy as cake.

[Miffed22001]

i guess this means guys will be looking to trasnfer funds between sites more

[bode]

fuck this. i hope i can get my $600 off there

[IowaSkinsFan]

Everyone just move to Poker Stars. You can make wire transfers to your bank account on big cash outs, or you can even get a check which comes in less than a week. E-checks to deposit are very easy.

[will641]

wait, so i really dont understand whats going on here? does it just make depositing way more difficult? as long as i can wd money from my stars account and get a check in a week i dont really care. but i guess if depositing is hard, fish will stop depositing....fuck.

[ackthecat]

I just checked out PS deposit methods and the Echeck looks easier than epassporte was and there are no fees!

more fish will deposit through an echeck than ever would through epass. it just makes moving money around from site to site harder again.

Whoops, didn't see this thread when I posted in Online Poker Rooms.

Asked Cake about QuickTender and got the following reply. Not sure exactly what they mean but I guess I'm not eligible:

Got the same email Xianti, didn't know you played on there...

[Pythonic]

Looks like a pretty good new method.

[allabout]

I've used Echeck on Stars both to deposit and withdraw and its super easy and no fees at all. FTP also sent an email recently saying they were using echecks also so I'm sure its just as simple. Hopefully other companies will follow suit. There are several sites I'd like to play that allow Americans but are too difficult to deposit on.

[lolzzz_321]

bump, if you have any money left in epass let me know

[martindcx1e]

does anyone want to let me know how e-checks are at all legal/working for americans? i thought banks were forbidden from dealing directly with online gaming sites. wasn't that the whole point of frist's gay bill? or was it just to prevent cc companies from dealing with gaming sites?

[Hawk]

When I make my deposit, besides the email from pokerstars, I got an email about my transaction from myspeeddebit.com.

I assumed they probably process the echecks for stars, and so the bank deals with them. I have nothing at all to back that up, but it made sense when I thought of it.

On my banks end it appeared as "TIGRASUPPORT EFT".

Whatever it is, they don't appear to be dealing with the site directly.

The banks aren't dealing directly with the gaming sites. There is usually a processor that is the middle man between the sites and the banks.

Gaming site tells processor to debit someone's bank account - funds go from bank to processor, then the processor funds the gaming site. It's still a gray area, but the processor is probably not a US based business.
