novice question here .

i know how i collect a few grand at a time thru neteller playing sports . but how is that guy gonna get 200 large .

a check ? i dont think so
5 grand at a time thru neteller ? i guess

i've never had his "problem" .

anybody have any thoughts here ?

thanks.

bump - wanted to see if anyone had an answer for this.

my guess is that the only type of player who could potentially have problem would be a US player looking to avoid paying taxes. in that case it would be tough to collect 200k.

for all other players, i'm sure a bank wire would work fine. one other option is 3 neteller checks...they now write checks up to 100k.

They just send it right to neteller if you want it.

The MOST that I have ever won was a $12,000 first prize satellite at pokerstars. I requested $5000 the next day via neteller and saved the rest for a while and eventually took another payout of $5,000 and kept a little in the pot

i understand getting 5 grand or 8 grand at a time. what if that guy wanted $ 150,000 in one shot ?

like i said earlier , i wish i had his problem.

You can withdraw the money through Neteller and Neteller will deposit the money directly to your bank account.
