E-CHECK OPTION FOR U.S. PLAYERS OFFERED BY POKER STARS

7 September 2007

Easier deposit function claimed


The major online poker company still servicing US players, PokerStars.com has announced that it is about to return the eCheck service to at least some of its American clientele. The exclusive instant deposit service became popular with US players after the Neteller exit from the US market.

"Instant eChecks are now available to a limited number of players, with plans to make eChecks available to all U.S. players in the near future," says a message on the cashier section of the PokerStars website.

The electronic checking service requires the player to provide PokerStars with specific banking information so that the money can be taken directly from a specified checking account via Electronic Fund Transfer: The minimum amount that can be transferred via eCheck is $25, and there is a $600 maximum within 24 hours and within seven days, and a $2 000 maximum within 30 days.

Extensive verification processes are required before the service will be made available to a player, sloowing the initial transaction. Thereafter, as long as there are no issues on a player's depositing record, PokerStars says players can expect instant depositing.

Players wanting to withdraw money from their PokerStars account can use the service to re-deposit their money back into their checking account should they wish to do so.

The service is provided by DUN Finance Inc., which has been successfully processing online transactions for Internet sites since 2001.
