Do you want them?
Hell yes! redeem for 20$ netspend would be awesome
I think that would be a good option, but I dunno about with those kind of fees.
I didnt say everyone wants them....But I bet 90% would like them!
But I know for a factmany people would love to earn points for straight cash that can be loaded and withdrawn out of an ATM instantly instead of getting Poker money.....
Would bring tons of new blood to PO...
Alot more people willearn again!
sounds ok to me. Straight to say paypal would be nice too.
The $5 fee sucks though
Just makethe fees added to the redemption rates.
and yes gotta goto store....
also you can load any amount so maybe like if someone wants one it willbe a MIN of $20 but if they want an amount of like $45,$68,$77,$85 etc....maaybe they can PM you day in advance and market or w.e is set up and you get them...
@zab you can p2p xfer on netspend so u only pay a fee once and can divide it up over a bunch of redeems
I like this idea but what about bitcoin redeems?
YEa but there isonly a certainamount of trasnfer daily/weekly I believe.
Yeai forgot zab could do that.
Zab create a NEtspend debit account. So youd have online account access. And you cancard to card tranfer funds. Very easy. No fees just fees to load the funds to your account. But you can load like 1k for only $5 fee.
Yea bitcoin redeems nowadaysare toorisky.expensive
toomuch money forzab toinvestif he wants todo bitcoins....
Plus thereare many other bitcoin sites....
Butthereare NONE netspend GPT sites....
Zab take it over!!! ;)
I like this idea. 5 dollar fee kind of sucks but its workable!
Why not? I agree with TrueOC that it would probably attract a different demographic and encourage the advancement of others! I would say though that the vig on each is extravagant, putting it nicely..:)....I would certainly look into the opportunities that are offered at the best rate before moving ahead with this one.
With that said, GREAT IDEA!!!
I'm FOR this but...
Is NETSPEND available or redeemable in Canada? I can't find a definitive answer anywhere.
I feel more options are always nice so long as they are bringing in the right crowd.
This is a great idea actually it will attract a whole new demo of people i mean they wouldn't have to be involved in the poker aspect of the site at all. and no zab you do not have to go to the store every time to buy the cards, load X amount on to one card, and then they will send u a card with ur name on it and you can transfer to anyone who also has a netspend card, with no fee. The recipient of the transfer will have to pay a fee when they go to use the card but no fee on either end for the transfer. So the only fee that you will have to pay is when u load money on to the card, so depending how much you want to keep in reserve at a time you shouldn't have to pay that fee very often. I do think that you could gain some unwanted attention tho because of the client. You earn points to redeem for cash which is fine but you are able to gamble the points in the client, you may gain users that are here to just play client to try and earn cash which in turn could draw unwanted attention. You may wanna talk to the sites lawyer about the ins and outs of it, online gambling laws in the US are pretty much made up as we go so i dont know what the current laws are.
I personally dont like these cards. you can get a free one in the mail if you sign up at https://www.netspend.com.
Besides the $5 reload fee these is also a $5 monthly fee. Another bad thing about it lets say i want to buy $10 worth of gas with my netspend card. Well that $10 worth of gas will cost you $12 because netspend charges you a $2 fee EVERY time you use the card.
no doubt that they penetrate you anally with the fees but it is still cash in hand which IMO is better than any of the current redeem methods, plus if you plan on using the card as your primary bank account you can direct deposit to the card and then drastically reduce the cost of all the fees by buying one of their plans. my opinion, save up enough for a couple $25 redeems then just withdraw it all at once from an atm.
I really dont know how I feel about this. The fees are a definite downside and the potential for a larger number of scammers is not exactly thrilling. On the plus sides though the concept of being able to redeem and withdraw straight cash is appealing there is only so much crap I would be interested in buying from amazon and while redeeming for poker money is nice sometimes it would be better to be able to get cold hard cash without having to jump thru various hoops.
I used to use a netspend card. It worked well back in the day. Not sure about now.
Doesn't sounds worth the hassle between all the fees and Zab needing to make a trip to the store. I would like to see HUD redeems available. Specifically PT4 since I'm on a mac. =) I just can't bring myself to pay for it yet, but if I could redeem points for it, I would be all over that shit!!
If your going to look at using netspend like an investment tool,which is what your doing by funding your poker account, with it. Its going to be way to expensive.
I would personally prefer Paypal. Points for paypal would be awesome. Especially since that's the way I buy my points through the site anyway. The only problem with paypal is that there is a fee for transferring money to someone, so Zab would have to work out what his cut would be to make up for the exchange. Just a thought.
The netspend model can be a plus, this give new and existing customers a chance to redeem pokerowned points for netspend dollars which can be use like any other prepaid debit card, the redeems should be no less than 25 IMO but unlike others who complain about the 2 dollar fees which is hilarious, it would be awesome for your customers to have a way of getting poker revenue off sites quicker via redeeming points from various trades or even client winnings I think it's a good option to look into gl
Best idea ever! Do it soon, please!
Yea netspend is crazyand weneediton thissite...this really is thebest idea...
