So I got a letter from Wells Fargo saying they will no longer be authorizing transactions to gambling (read: poker) sites as of December 1st.

Here's a really n00b question: what am I suppose to use to deposit if I need to? In the four years I've been playing on full tilt (and posting here), I've always skipped over every post pertaining to withdrawals and deposits.

I ignored these posts because I've always been able to instantly deposit using my Wells Fargo card, and when I request checks they show up at my door within a week.

Should I panic and deposit a ton money before 12/1?

I could have sworn I posted this in the "General Discussion" area. I've only had one beer what the hell. Doesn't compute.

On a separate note, why is "Wells Fargo" censored like a bad word, i.e. **** ****?

I knew that "wells" got censored but I always thought that Rick did that as a joke because of all the stupid dumb wells that everyone was starting.

Put a subliminal message of my choosing in the theme music for the next major reality show and I'll ship you $20.

I would open an account at the local credit union out here in The Sticks. They don't seem to mind transfers to poker sites.

It's because that was once one of the check processors, or maybe it still is.

No, but I would consider you switching your personal account to another bank, period. Go ahead and keep your music biz acct. @ WF if u desire.
Kinda like what Honkythunder said... LA has to be friggin' crawling w/ available credit unions.

Ok... well I know you can buy prepaid Visa cards at gas stations over there in the USA

I did a similar thing just now, paid £25 for a Ukash voucher at some shop... put the code in on here and the deposit was done in 2 minutes.

This ^^, Gary I use a prepaid Visa from netspend works everytime so far, netspend .com can tell you where to find them in your area, It does cost 3.95 to reload but as good a pokerz player as you are this should just be a one time charge.

After 12/1 it may not be deposits that are an issue but the withdrawl part. If I ever win enough i would ask one of the trusted forumers in another country to withdraw for me and give them a cut for doings so and to cover any taxes they may be resposible for, then they could send me a check or money order or something.
