PokerStars addressed the situation surrounding delayed eChecks that has affected many of its customers.

PokerStars has now said it will be giving bonuses to its players that have been affected by the eCheck problem.

Many PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker customers have been waiting for weeks or months to receive their cashouts via eCheck, to no avail.

According to poker-king.com:

Pokerstars said earlier today that they would be issuing bonuses of 20% of the delayed cashout amount for people that requested eCheck withdrawals from April 15th to May 10th and didn’t receive their funds. These bonuses will not have to be “earned” - they will be deposited straight into player accounts, and could be cashed out immediately.

These bonuses will be paid out even if eCheck withdrawals magically start showing up in bank accounts early this week. Pokerstars said that bonuses will be applied to players’ accounts by “end of day, Monday, May 12″. Again, you will receive these bonuses regardless of whether or not you receive your money on Monday or Tuesday.

Whole thing here.

PokerStars also said if the eChecks do not start showing up in players’ accounts, they will stop the transaction and return the money to the players’ PokerStars accounts so the money can be withdrawn via other means.

This hand you're dealt AQo UTG and you decide to limp. The button limps and both blinds play. You flop top pair:

The SB leads out for $6. The BB folds. You make it $24 and the button folds. The SB calls. The turn gives you two pair with the Ac. The SB checks and you pop $40 into $54. The SB flat calls.
