PokerStars buy-in and cash out service
The full details of my service are now as follows:
Buying-in to PokerStars
You can deposit AUD$, NZD$ or USD$ into one of my accounts and I will transfer the USD$ equivalent into your PokerStars account as soon as I can confirm that your deposit has been cleared. For AUD deposits I use the Westpac spot sell exchange rate for T/T’s. For NZD$ I use the BNZ cheque sell rate. This will work out far better than using a credit card and being charged around 2% on a much worse exchange rate. There is no charge for the currency conversion and you will also be eligible for any deposit bonuses that PokerStars may offer from time to time.
After you have made a deposit please make a transaction request so I can check the relevant bank account. When filling out the request, the system will tell me know into which account you made the deposit and also what your PokerStars player ID is so I can make the USD$ transfer to you. If you make an AUD$ deposit at a branch of one of the banks listed above or via the internet banking facility of one of these banks, then I should be able to confirm it immediately. Transfers from banks other than those listed above will usually get processed on the next business day.
Cashing out from PokerStars
To help PokerStars players from Australia or New Zealand who would like to cash out, I can help as follows:
Transfer the amount you want to withdraw to my PokerStars player ID: InterCash and fill out a transaction request notifying me that you have made a transfer. Please ensue you have filled in your bank account details in the transaction request and I will transfer the AUD$ (or NZD$) into your bank account within 24 hours via internet banking. I will convert the USD$ into AUD$ using the Westpac spot buy rate for T/T’s or into NZD$ using the BNZ cheque buy rate.
Australian/NZ players
• PokerStars will continue to pay the commission on behalf of players on all buy-ins through the InterCash service.
• InterCash will not charge any commission on cash-outs if your cash-out amount does not exceed the amount you have deposited through InterCash after 31 August 2010 and your cash-out is being sent to an Australian or NZ bank account.
• Cash-outs in excess of the amount you have deposited after 31 August 2010 will be charged a commission of 2.5% where your cash-out is being sent to an Australian or NZ bank account.
• Where your cash-out is not being sent to an Australian or NZ bank account a premium of 1% will apply. For USD cash a premium of 2% will apply and a discount of .5% will apply if the funds are to be transferred to another site.
Non-Australian/NZ players
• The general rule is that PokerStars will not permit transfers between either my ‘InterCash’ account or ‘GaryBenson’ account and accounts that aren’t registered in Australia or New Zealand.
• A very limited number of exceptions will be “white listed” where the player has difficulty in funding and/or cashing-out from his player account using alternative methods.
• Each individual case will be considered on its merits and reasons must be supplied to support your case.
• If approved, commission will be applied as detailed above for Australian and NZ players. |
