In short
PokerStars makes a clear distinction between withdrawal routes: Skrill is described in minutes, while bank transfers take three to five working days. Bank withdrawals have no fee, and there is no inactivity charge. Deposit limits, a break option and exclusion are listed as well. The compromise is support access, with email but no chat in the available details, so payment clarity does not come with a live conversation whenever a question arises.
The editor has deposited and withdrawn money at every casino in the catalogue. Results of individual payouts (date, method and time to arrive) are added to the reviews as they are written up.
PokerStars trades live chat for clearer bank fee information
PokerStars lists no bank transfer fee and no inactivity fee, which makes those costs easy to understand. Support is described as email without chat. Its payout timing also varies by route, with Skrill measured in minutes and bank transfers in working days.
