When you deposit money into an online poker site they don't give a damn how you do it. Prepaid credit cards, virtual visas, offshore bank accounts, phone cards, third party vendors, doesn't matter. You can rob an elderly couple at gunpoint outside the poker site's offshore offices in Antigua while they watch yukking it up from the windows of the employee lounge. They will smile and give you the thumbs-up. Welcome to the party. Ready to poker.
But try to take some of your money off their site, and suddenly these same people turn into anal retentive lawyer-banker-ombudsmen, looking for any excuse to fuck you up:
Site1Rep: "Oh, you know that service we let US players use to get money in and out of the site, which you used?"
Me: "The one I used when I signed up just two weeks ago and which your site instituted only a month ago?"
Site1Rep: "Yeah, that one. We decided to cancel that service the week after you signed up. So your money is, like, stuck online."
Or...
Site2Rep: "Hey, you know that account you set up to get rakeback? The one we let you load funds onto and cleared with your rakeback site?"
Me: "Of course, what about it?"
Site2Rep: "Yeah, well, we decided not to let you do that after all. We want you to have only one account, so we're suspending the new one. And oh, also we're not letting you withdraw that money you wanted to take off. Just letting you know. Have a nice day!"
