I want to get started playing poker online but most of the sites seem to make it very hard to deposit and withdraw cash. I joined pokerstars.net yesterday and tried to use my credit card but was declined with all of them, the lady over the phone said that since they are a gaming site, 90% of the credit cards can't be used and instead I should be using echeck to send them money. I don't want to be giving out my bank account information so I opted out. I also asked them if I use echeck to deposit money, what about withdraws? They said the only current method is sending a physical check which you can only request once a week and takes about two to three weeks to arrive....
I used to have an account with fulltiltpoker.com and it was the same thing, withdraws are with checks only and required you to fax in a copy of your drivers license first before you can. They made it easier to withdraw cash because they used fake companies they own to charge your credit card. I would look at my statements and see charges from telecommunication companies or internet companies.
So i guess the US ban on casino sites made it really tough for these poker sites...but is there any ones out there that are legit and better than these two?
