Players Disheartened at Poker Site

PokerStars.com is a popular online casino gambling site known for its innovative games and high stakes poker tournaments. And like most internet gambling sites, PokerStars allows players multiple options for depositing and withdrawing funds from the site. Those options just got more limited though, and the new restrictions on acceptable payment methods could affect some players who gamble at the online casinos from countries that do not legally allow internet gambling.

Two payment options, the payTru Visa Debit card and FirePay are no longer options for PokerStars players. Notices went out in early December to notify players that they would not longer be able to make purchases with the payTru cards at the online casino as of December 10, 2007. FirePay notified players via email that it would also stop allowing players to use the company for depositing and purchasing after December 10, 2007.

Now though this is alarming for many online casinos players, both companies have outlined specific dates and options for players to recover funds from their accounts. The real alarm for players is not that they may lose their funds, but rather the fact that their options are sliming down on payment processors.

The online casinos industry is currently changing rapidly and many countries are still ambiguous about the specific limitations and restrictions concerning internet gambling transactions. That is one reason that payment processors choose to discontinue services to internet gambling companies and their players. PokerStars accepts several other payment methods, all outlined on the online poker site. And players can go directly to the FirePay and payTru Web sites for more information on how and when to withdraw their funds.
