this question might have been answered but im lazy and dont feel like looking for the thread. I got this card yesturday from here

wondering if anyone has tried this card and it worked. Im really missing pokerstars and want to know if it works there? my cards silver not black guess it dont make much difference and how are you loading it? It seems easiest option is to go to the location and just give them money to load it.

you replied in my thread that i wrote about them. yes they work and yes they are easy to fund. transfers to stars as quick as netteller

sorry I was talking about the gift cards, how do you load it? Just go to one of the places and give them the cash to put on the card?

sorry never have dealt with prepaid cards like this.

redbank09 · #4 04-27-07, 06:04 PM

yeah, just find a place in ur loaction that deals with netspend and load the card up there. nice and simple.

just tried this today and nope got declined!

sooo guess that means online poker is pretty much done for me since there is no way to deposit online now. I hate our goverment!!

very easy way to deposit to Full Tilt (just take cash to your nearest WalMart, fill-out a MoneyGram form and you're done.

How much does that cost? The fees are pretty crazy, aren't they? Worse than epassporte?

stormswa · #8 05-15-07, 06:37 PM

im not paying those kind of fee's, its just not worth it. And thanks tp for the Donkey remarks without coming out and saying it!

Think I will just stick to A.C. until they figure this stuff out one day. The thing I hate the most is I was really looking forward to just putting like $500 on and grinding out the $25NL level, now I have to get more together to play $1/$2 NL live.

FWIW... the extra expenses of live play (more rake, travel, higher bankroll requirements, etc.) might make those big fees for online transactions not as big if you think about it.

$12 or so... not great, but not that bad.

stormswa · #11 05-16-07, 12:09 PM

how long does this normally take? concidering this.

Reel Deal · #12 05-16-07, 12:17 PM

3-4 days.

stormswa · #13 05-16-07, 12:26 PM

I emailed them, im doing it. One more fish coming into the game, TP should be happy!

stormswa · #14 05-21-07, 04:53 PM

ok just did this today, super easy. You just go to a retailer that deals in moneygram, fill out some stuff and boom its sent. It costs like $9 to send, then you come home and fill in the stuff on full tilt. It took them maybe 20 minutes to approve me!!! amazing job full tilt!!!!

Every day, I hate our government more and more for keeping the American fish out of my games. Good players have no problem getting money online (mostly because they already had it there and don't blow it all), but so long

s.

Online poker has gotten tougher and tougher every month, and it's probably going to continue until there are virtually no fish left... Sucks.

NL200 at Full Tilt is so simple, I'm beginning to think a monkey could beat it. I'm crushing that shit. Oh, and nice profile.

Reel Deal · #17 05-16-07, 11:16 AM

You need to do a video for us monkeys.

Talking Poker · #18 05-16-07, 02:54 PM

I probably should just drop down and go for the much easier wins. It feels weird though, since I used to be able to beat 2/4, 3/6, and 5/10 NL pretty easily. Seems weird to go to 1/2, but if I have a significantly higher win rate there, I guess it's worth it.

Then again, maybe I'm just not as good at poker as you. Have you tried any higher limits? I wonder if you'd crush them too.

I second the request for a video.

BTW, what does "Nice profile" mean?

Reel Deal · #19 05-16-07, 04:14 PM

Pretty sure he's talking about: "Beastie Bastard"

PShabi · #20 05-16-07, 10:59 PM

I played a handful of hands at NL400, but I ran sorta meh and was scared money. I withdrew a bunch of $$$ and am building up. Have about $4k on there now. Might give it another shot when I get my roll back up to $8k.

I've filmed a few vids, but they distract me and make my shitty computer bog down too much. I may do one tonight though. I'm betting I play a slightly different style than some of the "better" players. I table select good and and I just jackhammer with bet after bet. Once people adjust to that style, I leave.

That's great news, I used to be a monkey! (or was that a donkey? I always get those 2 letters mixed up)
