I took 4 months off from poker, I'm planning on started again about a month from now. I hope my mastercard check card from 5/3 will work on FTP or UB, otherwise I'll get a prepaid credit card. I've heard nothing but bad things about epassport. |

Just used a Gift2GO to fund an Epassporte account(no problems), from there I deposited to Absolute.

No sense in playing anywhere else, for me that is. | be careful about using mywebatm. it was a disaster for ftp for a long time and most of the people who tried to set it up never got it to work. I'm not sure if they ever got the bugs fixed, but I know FTP apologized for making it an option a few weeks ago on 2p2.
good luck and hope it works out. |

Thanks for the heads up, but I have already read the 2+2 official thread and it seems most people who had trouble couldn't even get past the first few steps of signing up. It was a breeze to get through the process where I'm now waiting for the small deposit. I also emailed and got a response very fast. If anything goes wrong or looks fishy I'm gone. I'm not hard up to play poker online, but for the next month it would be lucrative for me to play. Lots of bonus and rakeback like I used to get when playing full time. I have some friends in town that are going to transfer some funds for cash in person. |

I recently started up with FTP and used ePassporte. I'm pretty happy with them, only the normal minor hassles same with anything.
PStars is self funding, except for transfers to my wife.... |

Bodog has direct transfers from your checking account again and UB let me use my debit card. Cashout is still by check though and takes quite a while. |

The great thing about MyWebATM is, I will be able to transfer funds from FTP to MyWebATM and then to my checking account. Works just like Neteller
Since I have 27% rackeback at FTP there is no need for me to play anywhere else. |

Just checked out mywebatm but the $3.95 monthly service fee and $4 fee to transfer funds to a bank account scared me away. I withdraw no more than 4 times a year and I can wait for a check. The only thing about getting a check is that I hope my bank doesn't have any problems with it later on like I've been reading with that one bank on 2+2. |

You need to read it a little closer.
Since you only withdrawal 4 times a year wouldn't it be nice to not wait for a month to get your money, and possibly your check getting denied? |

I get my UB checks in 2 weeks and have never had a problem with them going through (the bank they come from is out of New York). |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
