Ever run into this before???
I did a transfer with Nikki b/c Stars is generally easier to cashout through in Canada. But PS security is apparently worried that I am laundering money.
excerpt... Our transfer privilege is only available to allow players to fund their accounts in order to play when they can not deposit funds with their own deposit options. We are restricted by our licensing agreements in the Isle of Man that prevent us from being able offer a real money transfer service for the purpose of cashing out. This is why we can not allow cashout from transferred funds. I see their position, but this bites. I have sent an inquiry, but does anyone know how much activity I need with that money before it is considered "mine" to cashout? |
Yeah... As an active staker, I make a LOT of transfers. A few months ago, Stars was really giving mer a hard time.
Basically, you need to earn 15 VPP to "clear" every $100 you want to transfer or cash out and then your problems will go away... |
I've had it happen to me a few times after not playing at stars for a few months, even though i'm supernova for the year.

Thanks that was exactly what I was looking for. They weren't being to clear on a "formula" for the process.
|
Wow. FOr how much they must make of your playing I figured they would hand deliver your cashouts in nickles pennies and dimes if you asked. :)

It's a pain in the ass, but I think we should applaud 'Stars for their efforts to demonstrate to governmental agencies that they have processes in place to minimize the potential for money laundering transactions.
The people who want to ban/regulate (2 sides of the same coin IMO) internet poker will always be around, and the "organized crime"/"terrorism" argument will never go away. Every little bit helps in the fight against government intrusion. NH 'Stars. |
