Just go to the poker client, click on deposit, and click on E checks, this is the one I use and it comes out of your bank account, and you can play with the money right away, you can also buy ukash at some gas stations, just go to ukash and it will tell you where in your area. GL at the tables

Wow,....you guys are ALL a great help,.... I can't believe it...
Yes IceMan,.... I remember seeing that somewhere before. Thanks for the reminder.... I'll check it out.
Might as well maximize any extras possible....
I might borrow $25 from you as the Shopper's Drug Mart by me here doesn't have a satellite post office. I'll have to wait until Monday or Tuesday until I can get to the post office downtown to buy a UKASH.
I'm about an hour into the $5.50 and have about $5,700 in chips,...so I might do well here. It's being nice to me...
Any money I can earn here will minimize any I might have to borrow,...if any at all. We'll see.

P.S. Good luck at the tables!!!
Then vodka swillin' russkies missed my 'Chat' did they....lol.... I don't know if they are 'fearless' or 'stupid'... But I'm sure they ALL want to be JUST like Vladimir... They play poker without their shirts on....lol...
Anyhow,...sorry about missing your chat IceMan,....Most of the time I have it on the Stats or Info tab,....and usually I have 3 or 4 games going at once,...so it gets very hectic and I tend to not see most chat anyway if I have it on...
If I only have 1 or 2 games going,...I tend to look more at the chat boxes...

Another way you can deposit into pokerstars, is with instadebit, this is another method I use to deposit at stars, 888, and at tilt. you can also use it most bingo sites. you can also cash out using instadebit, the money gets deposited into your bank account, gl

Regardless of your short-term solution. I strongly suggest getting a VISA/MasterCard debit card: Not only are they fantastic for poker sites, but they're also great for buying anything else online too. And since there's no line of credit attached, if you hook it up to a bank account that never has 'too' much money in it, then you don't really have to worry much about having your "credit card" ripped off either

Thanks crash! I'm writing all these things down so I can look into them and see which ones are best. I live in a small town about 125 miles north of Toronto,...so things around here are pretty limited as to what's available...
Hey IceMan....
...so I'm flicking around the TV channels,...and on one of the ethnic channels there's a show on called:
Noi Romanii
I'm watching it to see what's going on over there in Romania...lol...
The language sounds like a mixture of Italian and Polish,...with a hint of French here and there....

That's a very good idea too jesse!
Saves running to stores to buy one time cards or tics,...and is probably a LOT cheaper...
I managed to find out about the UKash,...and a few others. There's a $3.95 charge for a $25 card,....so it'll cost basically $30 for $25 worth of poker...
I have 2 bank accounts....1 for my regular banking,....and 1 especially for my PayPal account so if PP gets hacked,...they'll only have access to my one account,...which I only deposit into if I send money TO PayPal for eBay stuff...

We are originally Latin. So our origin language is Latin and Dacians (long story here, Romans wanted to conquer us: 101-102 / 105-106, in last one, they succeeded). But we have borrowed some other countries words, like French and Turkey.
I see you won some cash in $5.50, GG. I will send you 20$, OK?
Don't forget to apply for those 8$ free for no depositors, from Pker-school-online!

Yes,...that I did,.....turned the $5.50 into something like $12+
Right at the end,...just when the big blind was going to eat me once and for all,...it turned out to be the nutz about 4 BBs in a row with JUNK...lol........
Everybody at the table was freaking out!!! lol...
I'm in the Big $11,....maybe I can earn a few bucks there.... If so I may not need to accept your kind offer for a loan.
As far as the 1st time depositors bonuses go,...I sent an email to PS to see if a transfer from FT might qualify. In that event,...I may borrow the $20 anyhow just to get the bonuses, if of course you have a balance in your FT account.
I may just have to make an outright 'deposit' from an external source, such as UKash or paysafe.
Hopefully though,...I may be able to win enough today and tomorrow to keep my ChromeStar status,....which was the original subject of this thread...
After I collect VPPs for the $11 and the $4.40 later,...I'll only need about 6 or 7 more VPP. Hopefully I'll have enough winnings for more buy ins and thus enough to kill off the VPPs...
...but at any rate,...at this point, I may only need about a $15 loan.

So you have bank account and you dont have credit card? WTF man? Is it even possible? whats the point of having bank account if you dont have credit card? You can only manipulate with your money in bank, thats pretty uncomfortable isnt it

I can see your point for not wanting credit cards, but you should know that Moneybookers works with Bank Accounts too. Dont tell me you dont have a bank account either. Link it, verify it and you are done. The prepaid cards if you can get one is a solution.

Thanks for all the info guys!!!
Well I just SQUEAKED into the money in the $11 game. The blind was RIGHT next to me to the right when it paused for hand to hand. I was down to ONLY about 3 or 400 in chips and when it started up,...I lost the first hand.
Talk about making it within a HAIR!!! If the blind would have come ONE MINUTE earlier,....I'd have bubbled OUT!!!
So that win effectively give me enough $$$ to buy in enough games to save my ChromeStar status for another month and I need not now deposit, OR accept IceMan's offer for a small loan.
IceMan,.....I CERTAINLY DO appreciate your offer though. I came withing ONE HAND of maybe having to accept. Although,...I could have kept grinding away tonight and tomorrow with my fingers, AND toes crossed hoping to wipe out the last few VPPs.
You're a good man,...and I thank you for that!!!
As for depositing,.... I'm gonna consider my options and cash in on some of those bonuses... If ya play your cards right,....your deposit will more than pay for itself..

Vanndame..... Yes,...that name seems vaguely familiar...! Being...'dame' though, I might think it's a female... I've never had a 'Nutbuster' before,...maybe I'll let her introduce me... lol...
Well,...it turns out I am NO longer eligible for any 1st deposit bonuses on PS.
I transferred $10 to FT to collect the 1st deposit bonuses over there,...and by doing that, I was disqualified from getting them.....BUT...
...I DID though collect 10 $5,000 1st depositors Freeroll tics,...1 $2.20 Ring Game tic,...an instant $5 cash deposit into my account,...AND a bonus of $10.50 cash incrementally deposited into my FT account as I accumulate FT points.... which isn't a bad little haul. That'll all get me going on FT.
I find playing on FT is like playing in a cartoon...lol...
