    Thumbs Up to Pokerstars
    So, being bored a couple of weeks ago, I throw $50 into my Pokerstars account, and play a few sit-n-gos. Then I decide to play a $5 turbo with about 2600 people entered. I get on a roll, catch a good run of cards, and am lucky enough to make the final table. I end up finishing 4th, and take down just over $500.

    So, I request a payout by hard check on 9/22. In my mailbox yesterday, 9/29, was a check for $500 from Pokerstars. One week, no fees, no problem.

    Our sportsbooks could learn a thing or two from Pokerstars. I know there are processing problems time to time, but I think a lot of it is self-manufactured excuses to slow pay.

    Great job Pokerstars! I am impressed.

    Not a book per say however it's nice to know the current status about them. I will make a note and add it to my report.

      I've never heard of them stiffing anyone before, ever. Only people that have made complaints of them were proven to have multi-accounted or used poker bot software.

        Full Tilt is also very good, but the payment times are very unpredictable. I've had some in less than a week, others have taken 3 months.

        This was my first cash out at PokerStars -- so far, they are great.

            Fulltilt has a had a few processors problems a couple times in the last year and had some delays... they seem to have it currently under control from what I've been reading elsewhere... Been running like shit in all my gambling since I got back from the bash so, unfortunately, I can't report from my own personal experience on cashouts...

              I got a check from Poker Stars like 3 days after requesting it! I dont put money online anymore, just won money on freerolls and decided to cash it in. But, when I use to play on PS's back in the day I never had a problem with them. Just FYI for you guys!

                    In the last year I've cashed out 4 checks, all arrived INSIDE of 10 business days (what they say it will take) - most came in 3-4 business days, with my most recent one taking 2 days (last month).
