The conversion to the new Cashier platform at FeltStars is now fully active...... Welcome to the new players who were looking for a new poker home. You have found it now.

The Cashier is no different than any other merge site...still waiting for the ignicard option to be implemented. i personally am missing the casino freerolls but i guess i take the good with the bad. hope with the new cashier feltstars do become as bland as let's say carbon or other main skins

Off topic, but yes the freerolls were profitable for me.

FeltMoney Deposit an excellent option

FeltMoney? Well... I can tell you there won't be any transfers accepted from the sites that were in the news last week

5 days ago It was so easy. Now, not so much. Lol they made it so much harder. That's Ok tho I guess, less donk $ I guess. Yep, very nice Doc.

I don't understand what was easier 5 days ago.... 5 days ago you could not use a credit card to make a deposit.. now you can,,,,, What is NOT easier about that?

Speaking of which, I tried this option and it only went into pending (and is still there). Is it possible I missed a step somewhere?

I want to thank felt for the info of this change to the cashier lol would have been nice to know that they were changing so we could maybe move some funds where we wanted them but i guess thats the way they roll

I am confused? The new cashier made no difference as to were you can or cannot move funds unless you are referring to the use of Pic Club, and you can't say I didn't warn you there because I have been saying for over a year that Pic Club is a slow risky way to move poker funds.

As far as FeltStars giving notice that they were changing to the Merge Cashier... well that was just not possible. The switch took FeltStars by surprise as well.... They struck the deal with Merge and within an hour the switch was taking place. There is no need for an announcement in the "Talking about it" stages.

"How they roll" is that their goal is to make it as easy as possible to make a deposit, and as quick as possible to get your your cash outs when you request them. Not sure we could ask for more.

I was making a killling at PokerStars! It will be hard to replace the 1500 dollars I averaged per week there. I want to hear, and see, some people who have made some real cash at Carbon / FeltStars. Don't throw up Justin Taylor or some other pros, I mean people playing down in the trenches grinding out 7 - 8 hours per day and are thriving not just surviving. That, to me, is the definition of successfully playing at a site. Winning 1 tournament every 6 months don't cut it either. Cash games are the bread and butter of Poker and SnG's and tournies are the dessert.

Black Friday hurt a lot of people. That income is hard to replace. Playing live cash games, for myself, can substitute some, however online has become a much more consistent source of income. I have been reading the forums and it seems that the Merge Network is the best bet, however they are still having a lot of growing pains.

When you shut down a site like PokerStars that was bigger than all of the other online sites added together you know some people are gonna suffer and Poker overall took a huge hit. The smaller sites will never ever begin to be able to offer what we once had. It is what it is though, and just like the Game of Poker, the players that can adapt and change will do fine.

whats your pokerstars name, your making 1500 a week and complaining? You'll get your money and should have no problem making money??? you must be the greatest ever

I finally got my money order from Felt Stars that I have been bitching about. Thank you to DrCheckRaise for interceding for me. The new cashier HAS to be a big improvement.

My PokerStars handle was Misobo1!. Not complaining, lamenting. You are right my money is on it's way to my bank account right now.

Here's the math breakdown; 1500 per week divided by 7 days is an average of 214 per day. Divide that by 7 hours per day and that comes to 30.61 per hour average. Divide that by the 8 tables I play and that figure is $3.82 per hour per table. I play the 1 dollar / 2 dollar tables, so therefore I make less than 2 Big Blinds per hour. This is easily done, and I do not consider myself better than anyone.

I used to bartend and averaged 40 bucks per hour. However since I am disabled, I use my skills to pay the bills!

There is no enlightenment outside of your ownself!

merge cashier sucks now. Im in 3 diff chat rooms with about 20 people not able to transfer or
even deposit the way they did before or want to deposit. Im telling ya, it was better before, had like 4 more options before. Just sayin. Wcoip should be fun i guess

You know I won't let anyone get away with exaggerations. You had like 4 more options before? NAME THEM. AT the time of the switch there was not one credit card option that was working.... But I am listening.

Yes, eventually it will be only 1 less option, with just PIC Club "missing" (not available to me anyway)

For a couple of weeks, maybe a month, they had a DCC (digital cash card) or "Ingenicard" debit card deposit available, and I used it once. This went away with the change, but like the Doc has mentioned, there is a new Debit Card in the works, so that replaces this, and maybe goes one better if it will go both ways (I don't think Ingenicard was vailable for cashout). If it were my company, I would be crossing all the tees and dotting all the i's before I rolled it out. Despite a strong desire to get it up immediately, I would prefer to keep the USAsstorney out of my and my customers business.

So only 1 less.....waaaaait....... I think somebody was mis-counting on purpose in a convoluted attempt to promote their table image as someone that probably can't even count outs.

Very clever, Seenyorr :-). I will be extra careful at your table.

I use to be able to deposit with CC/ debit card now I am having major problems with new one, I have already gave Feltstars my id and proof of address and now when I try to deposit it just gets declined and I have money on the card and I always used this type of card before and now nothing any help? can e-mail me at bengobert@gmail.com

any prepaid card i used before worked and my mastercard debit card. Now it won't accept any of those.

I don't know much about the my wallet option but it says visa only. Only shows 2 other options, cash transfer and click2 play. I don't know what that is. Id rather not put money on them to put on felt. We'll see, maybe more get added

yes a new debit card option will be great, and generate alot more players. Just can't use my debit mastercard for now. Says visa only. Whoever works for felt needs to get some of these tilt and pokerstars players over here. Some are coming.

Trying to get a visa transaction to go through so I can play. WCOIP. GRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you guys need some help with fundage i know the Doc said he can do paypal exchanges i hope this helps

ok new question,

Has anyone here ever used click 2 play, or use my wallett. I hate signing up at places to deposit on a poker site. Just wondered if anyone uses it or if they keep a part of it. Would rather not put ten in at click 2 play and then 10 to felt, etc. I only have a mastercard debit card..


Crips

Need help deposit with paypal. Doc. Can you tell me how can i do it?
Thanks

Hi Logan...

Wow, you da man... $1500 a week? I'm soooo jealous !

coddfish

Yes Dr. I have found my new home I think...I am about to make my first deposit (I think and hope and pray) If I can not deposit I might just jump off a bridge lol. So this credit card option, will they accept my debit card? On all of the other sites I played on I used only echeck bc my credit card was not ever accepted. Just wondering if you know this info. I just stumbled upon in a web search...I think Im going to like your page Dr. Hope to see ya at the tables!

I really think its pretty lame for feltstars not to make everyone aware they were changing the cashier system so players could cashout to PICCLUB if they so desired.
I suspect it was done on the sly to keep the funds of those in PICCLUB from getting their funds out if they desired...

Personally, I'll try to find someone to trade my funds here on Feltstars to IronDuke... At least there I will get some warning if something is going to change that might affect my deposit and withdrawl options.

PRETTY LOW DOWN AND SCUMMY THING FOR FELTSTARS TO DO...

Yeah that would be a scummy thing to do if your ASSUMPTIONS were accurate... But they are not.

You have to realize that because of last Friday this industry was reeling and scrambling to make changes.... I posted concerning this already in this thread...


As far as FeltStars giving notice that they were changing to the Merge Cashier... well that was just not possible. The switch took FeltStars by surprise as well.... They struck the deal with Merge and within an hour the switch was taking place. There is no need for an announcement in the "Talking about it" stages.


Another scummy thing to do is to automatically assume that someone is trying to screw you..... If you want your money you have on FeltStars just cash out.. the Merge cashier will have it to you in 7-14 days.... You won't get a hard check from PicClub that quickly... just goole to find that out.. I been warning my players about PicClub for a year now

hmmmm, I think you miss the point here Dr... PICCLUB had nothing to do with Fetlstars moving cashier options I don't think? OR DID THEY? Your warnings about PICCLUB really have nothing to do with that dep/withdrawl option being removed.

All I'm saying is it would have been nice to have gotten a warning about this. It took 6 days from the Friday raids so its pretty obvious to me they must have went right into the planning mode from then to move/change it Thurs or Friday.

At every other site I play or have played, I have always gotten a warning about something as significant as the cashier options.

Oh, and for your benefit, the last time I cashed out funds from merge, it took me 2 and 1/2 months... HOW QUICK IS THAT!!!!

dude..then don't play on FeltStars/Merge or any other online site for that matter. you obviously expect a "pre black friday" operation and it's not going to be there at any site. Complaining about a cashier change at this stage in the onine poker world is laughable....ask the people with funds at UB if they'd like a cashier change right now. They're not talking to anyone...anyone right now. All those players are just waiting to see what the black sheep of online poker is going to do with their cash.

Don't play online, don't deposit anywhere...don't don't don''t. It's a brand new world in online poker and expecting anything otherwise would be a severe mistake. I will still play online.....but my expectations have changed as well. It's not going to be like it was before and the quicker you realize that and adapt will be to your advantage.

but i expect a reply with crying and complaining to follow....why do I even try?

THELIVEWIRE2010 on FELTSTARS
THELIVEWIRE on POKERSTARS

Again.. your assumptions are off..... Black Friday took place on Saturday at Merge... because they are 14 hours ahead of us.. So.. On Monday, FeltStars requested a meeting.. Because lawyers had to be scheduled to be present at the meeting it was scheduled for a couple of days later. The Merge Cashier was NOT a planned part of that meeting. It came up during the meeting, was agreed to and was implemented an hour later.... FeltStars thought it would take days to implement it, and an hour after they ended the conversation the conversion started...

Now what I ask of you is for you to find me one example where someone dropped PicClub and gave you notice that they were severing that relationship.... Since everybody and their brother has terminated their relationship with Pic.. that should be easy.

You can talk about the past all you want.... but the truth is.... if you want your money.. cash out... and if it takes longer than the time from stated then start bitching.. not before.... Frankly I have no idea whay anyone would want to cash out to PicClub any way.. once it is on PIC... it takes forever to get your money unless you deposit it into the owners own poker site...
I warned people over and over again.. If Pic Screws you.. I don't want to hear about it cause all I am going to say is I told you so.

Hello Dr.

This was 2 weeks ago and my Visa was not approved anyways. I am going to try another option and hope the DRCHECK200 works this time as it will still be my first deposit (that hopefully works!)

Thanks for the heads up. The new cashier change might mean it needs to be refreshed. I will look into it

I found out that you can use your bank debit card at any site as long as you DO NOT activate verified by Visa. A windows will pop up asking you to activate "Verfied by Visa", just X out or click continue withtout filling the boxes.
