This week, PokerStars announced the launch of its new MasterCard, which allows players to deposit and withdraw directly from their personal bank accounts. The new card will provide players with a convenient banking option, making it easy to fund their online poker wallet. The new card is called StarsCard, and will be operated by SafeCharge. It provides players with a safe and secure account for PokerStars players.
As a prepaid card, it can be loaded up at retail outlets or through bank transfers. This allows players to safely deposit and withdraw, as the card acts as an intermediary. No bank details are transferred between the online poker sites. SafeCharge is a Dublin-based payment processor.
It operates a wide range of wallet and credit card services for clients such as Telefónica, Orange and Visa. Unlike other e-wallets, StarsCard is completely integrated with PokerStars. It is a single point of deposit, which offers up great convenience for players on the online poker site. They will be able to deposit, cash out and sending money to their friends. Another great benefit of the StarsCard is that it is versatile.
PokerStars users who have this payment method will be able to use this card in any locations where MasterCard is accepted. So, users can spend their poker winnings at retail shops and restaurants. Players can register for the card online, and the fee is just £4.95. PokerStars is also offering players a promotion for signing up to the card, providing them with one FPP for every £3.00 they spend using their StarsCard at any type of retail outlet.
The StarsCard will be made available in the United Kingdom initially. Then, it will be rolled out at in a wide range of markets around the world.
