POKERSTARS

10.30.2008 tuesday

Depositing money on pokerstars has been much easier since they introduced PAYTRU card...
It's free to get and then all you need to do is upload some cash to PAYTRU card,then you can deposit to pokerstars with that card.
But there is a little problem...About 3 months ago i recevied a call from my credit card (the ona i used to uplaod the money to PAYTRU card), and they told me that someone tried to upload 600$ from my card...that wasnt me!!!
and as it turned out they didnt processed that ...good...but there was a clear sign that something is wrong there with PAYTRU card.
Is it a scam?i dont know...but be carefull...very very carefull...and if you do upload some money erase that card from the system and you will protect yourself from possible fraud!!!
Good luck playing poker!!!

Pokerstars deposit option-PAYTRUCARD...is it a Scam?

recently i opened paytrucard account, since that was the only way for me to deposit some $$$.
After couple months i received a call from Bank of America telling me that someone attempted to deposit 600$ on paytrucard...I was really pissed...transaction was blocked anyways but it did gave me second thoughts about that card.
Did anyone had similar experience?
How are the other websites on that matter ?(fultiltpoker,titanpoker,ultimatebet...)

should online poker be banned or no?

is it legal to play texas holdem in USA?
there is so much confusion on this matter that i decided to post a blog and see what people have to say...personaly i think it should be legal because its a GAME above anything else.
Especially tournaments...its all about competition...not gambling...thats what made poker so popular...Tournaments!!!
Anyway i would like to find out what people of United States of America think about this issue
