40% of Zooers think you should keep the money.

Given that a) Stars support read this forum; b) Neteller are allowed to pay it straight back from your account; c) You have no idea who owns Stars, how tough they are, or where they live and d) $200 is unlikely to change your life for very long whilst winning off the fish at stars just might.......

I'll let you decide.

Bank error in your favor!

There was a post like this awhile ago where the person got a double cashout (I don't know what room) and immediately withdrew the money from neteller. All was fine until he cashed out from another casino and neteller grabbed the extra money and gave it back to the first casino.

So you probably won't get to keep it. I guess you can decide on whether to hope they won't notice or to tell them and hope they'll let you keep it for being honest.

PS if your account name is the same as your 2+2 name then someone from pokerstars has probably already seen the post and the money's gone.

I've gottin double cashouts. Figured it would go back sooner or later - never has.

2 months ago I cashed out completely from a casino. Then went in a month later and there is still money there. Looked at the history and everything was right except I STILL had $$.

Cashed out again :-)

You should walk away quietly...OH, it's too late for that.
I certainly wouldn't have posted that here.

Okay, since no one has posted the obvious answer yet, I'll do so.

You tell them they made a mistake, because you aren't a scumbag. You aren't a scumbag, are you?
