Pokerstars disabled paytru card payment!!!

For some unknown reason to me pokerstars has changed the way you can deposit funds again...Meaning you CANT use paytru card anymore!!!Why?
I have no idea,there better be a good reason for that since that was the only way i could deposit funds on their page.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
