Pokerstars reload bonus question

[Sykes]

Can I deposit money and then withdraw it just to get the bonus?

A friend just told me that if I did that, they would take away the money, which seems insane since the bonuses take forever to clear and plus the bonus are stackable.

Also, Can I deposit into stars using my debit card? Same friend said I couldn't because it would be denied since it's for gambling.

No you can withdraw and keep the bonus, it won't expire. Though you do have to wait 48 hours before you can cashout. Not sure if they take debit cards though.

I think you have to wait 48 hours before withdrawing the deposit. As far as the debit card, try it and see what happens. When you deposit make sure you put in 603.18 or some odd amount. Even numbered deposits (600.00 example)raise a red flag on gambling deposits with card companies. Best way is to sign up for neteller. It is the most efficient means of moving funds around for poker in my opinion

Does Stars pay for Netller InstaCash? That's definitely the way to go if they do. OP won't be able to get in on the reload with EFT.

I'm pretty sure Stars takes debit cards. Whether your bank will allow it is another question, but the best way to find out is to try it.

stars doesn't pay for Instacash fees. you would have to pay the 8.9% yourself, and then deposit regularly from your own Neteller account.

if they'll take your visa or mastercard, great. otherwise just wait for the next reload, or play somewhere else (no shortage of bonii out there).

Which sites do cover Instacash fees?

I use royal vegas to deposit into neteller...I wonder if they will every catch on. Whenever I want money in party/empire/stars/other, deposit in royal vegas, withdrawl, wait two days, and money is in neteller. Very simple, and so far, even though I am blatant, they don't care. Maybe they will like the fact I am whoring bet365 now too...

I beleive Stars does not allow InstaCash deposits. However, Stars support seems so nice/smart that I'd bet that if asked, they would give an extension to someone who wanted to deposit but couldn't because of the EFT delay.

I think it's EXTREMELY unlikely any sites do that.
