Do you give them your checking account info when credit card is blocked ?

[Richard Galli]

Citibank and others won't process credit card charges from gaming sites. The
sites give alternatives, including not only mail (yuck!) and Western Union
(double yuck!) but also taking your checking account information: bank
routing number, account number, etc.

Do you folks do that?

I know that the same information would appear on a hard-copy check if you
sent that to them; but the hard copy of the check -- which you eventually
get back -- serves as the best evidence in the world of exactly how much of
a deduction from the account you authorized. If the check is for $100 that's
all they will get. And they will only get it once per check.

Without a hard-copy check, how do you know the online company isn't
withdrawing from the account more than you authorized? Or withdrawing more
than once?

Has anyone had a problem with this sort of payment method?

Nothing to worry about, unless they get a little short. Just like a pyramid
scheme, as long as the money goes in, nothing to worry about.

Besides, didn't you read where CardPlayer rag said you had nothing to worry
about. Linda Johnson also, but then again she wa s the one that was promoting
casino Europa in Costa Rica, where the boys took off with $160,000,000.

Didn't you se the tournament on the WPT?

Whenever someone starts off a reply with the words "think about this you
idiot" you know he's not taking his own advice.

Methods they could pay me if I deposited by credit card:

1. They could pay me by check.

2. They could use some other method. I thought about it and came up with
one, now it's your turn. It will take some actual thinking, but maybe you
can do that if you practice a little.

Don't be offended. He's just trying for "jerk of the week" honors. Looks
like it's going to be a heated competition.

I have been depositing by writing electronic checks for almost two years. I
have NEVER had one instance where the amount was different than the amount I
authorized. At least with Citadel (there are at least two sites I know of
that use this service), you access their service through the poler site, you
make out an electronic check to the poker site (but you are still on the
Citadel web site). When your check clears the Citadel security
system/criteria, they authorize the transfer of the funds from your checking
account to the poker site. I get an IMMEDIATE confirmation by message on
the screen and also by return e-mail that the money is in my account. The
best part, IT IS FREE, no fees, nada, zero, zippo.

In order for the poker site to "rip you off", they would have to be in
collusion with the clearing house (in this case Citadel) and to be perfectly
honest about it, I doubt that anyone is going to write a check large enough
for them to risk their entire business for one to two rip offs.

How do I get my money out, the poker site sends me a check, it goes to my
bank and again NO FEES, perhaps a few days wait, but so what!
