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
