CLICK2PAY will automatically debit this method, should you have an insufficient balance in your CLICK2PAY account, to cover the value of the deposit.

Cashouts are first processed back to the method(s) used to deposit. Within each deposit method, cashouts are then applied back to your oldest deposit first and your most recent deposit last. Due to changes in MasterCard's policy, we can no longer credit cashouts back to MasterCards. We apologize if our cashout policy is an inconvenience, but this is a security feature designed to protect our customers against fraud. It ensures that no one can profit from misuse of another's account.

1. Maestro, Solo

When you make a cashout request, we will first cross-reference your request with any Maestro and Solo deposits you've made and will automatically credit cashouts back to Maestro and Solo accounts up to the amount purchased, from the oldest deposit, made with any of these methods, to the newest.

2. NETeller

If you have used NETeller to purchase, your cashouts will then be processed back to NETeller up to the amount purchased, again from the amount of your oldest NETeller deposit to the amount of your most recent deposit. If your cashout is being applied back to a previous NETeller deposit that was made in any other currency than USD, your cashout will be converted into your NETeller account currency by PokerStars, before being sent to NETeller. Note: This step does not apply to players in the US, Canada or Turkey. No cashouts will be processed to NETeller in these countries. Please view our Canadian FAQ or US FAQ pages for more information.

3. Moneybookers, CLICK2PAY and ClickandBuy

If you have used Moneybookers, CLICK2PAY or ClickandBuy to purchase, your cashouts will then be processed back to Moneybookers, CLICK2PAY or ClickandBuy up to the amount purchased, again from the amount of your oldest deposit to the amount of your most recent deposit. Please note that CLICK2PAY cashouts may not be available in all countries.
