The Next Payment method

[joeker]

Everyone is wondering what the next payment method will be for Americans.

Here it is: (look at InterPay) https://www.intertops.com/template/c...=en&context=SB

I think this is what all the other sites are working on too.

Basically the poker sites will be issuing their own debit cards for players. Intertops has worked out a deal with a local bank to issue the cards. You load the card with a CC (hopefully check cards will work too) and it's pretty much isntant funding and pretty much hassle free. You can withdraw at almost any ATM.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Big sites like Poker Stars are setting up their own bank to do this.

IF and How the US Government could stop this I dont know.

they haven't done it in the past because it is inconvenient but now they have no choice. The question becomes can they stop it, I think the answer to that is "no". The bill was meant to stop checks going to offshore accounts. There is no telling what people use Debit Cards for.

WOOOOHOOOO - I love it

I'm throwing all my players at any major poker room that can get something like this implemented, right now my conversions are in the toilet - I swear 98% of my players are from the USA.

It looks good, easy for the fish to use

Here's the deposit/withdraw limits:

This has to be what FTP and PS are working on

its not inconvenient for the player. Its inconvenient for the site to bring banking in house. At this point though I agree with you that they have no choice.

Ahhh yes...no doubt.

I just want an easy no-hassle way for casual players to deposit.

I hope this holds

who is transferring money to InterPay?

If it is a US based service like Banks, VISA, Mastercard, then they will get hit by the government for making that transfer.
