Of interest mainly to Micon, I'm sure... just made my first deposit with SwipePay. The device is awesome. I plugged it into my USB port and the whole thing turns blue. The DoylesRoom client has an option for SwipePay, and then it tells you not to discuss the device on any message boards, etc. lol. Then you swipe your card and the device goes white, and the data gets entered into the client. Typed my PIN in the keypad, and it entered some more data. Typed the deposit amount ($50-$5k allowed) and then it worked. In my bank client, it shows the transaction instantly. It's labeled "AT SP long distanc 8255, Mountain Sight" and was for $999.99. Supposedly 10% instant bonus coming.

Cool. So this is something you buy at like best buy or something? You install and set up your bank information solely for online transactions? Sort of like a portable hard drive? Instant cash outs like the deposit?

That would be the key for me.

There has always been some weird sexual tension between phantom and Martha. Micon is lucky that there's a big ocean between you two.
I'm not sure which indignity is worse: - Leaving your wife, shacking up with your former neighbor, and getting cheated on with a guy from your own poker forum, or... - Getting ripped off for $12,000 by a guy with neck tattoos
Either way, Micon needs to be thankful that phantom isn't visiting his girl's land down under.

I understand the sites wouldn't want instant cashouts because that would obviously reduce the action but is it possible for the money to be put back in your accout as fast as its taken out?

Way to talk about it on message boards. But since you're doing it and other sites have other phone card deals I want to know how/if they work for cashouts.

No, DoylesRoom sent me an email for being a VIP (I deposited $28 to play their bounty tournament, played it and won it, played 3 more tournaments, that's it). They said if I wanted the device they'd mail it to me... it's a small box that plugs into your USB port and allows you to swipe your ATM card and make a debit card style purchase directly with the DoylesRoom client. It does not affect anything for cashouts, as Druff predicted. I had to request a regular check cashout, which Doyles charges $10 for and takes about a month. They did give me an instant 10% for trying it out though, so +$90 for the ordeal.

Is it possible? I'm sure it is. Will they do it? Nope.

I am breaking rules... it read to me like the kid in school saying he got laid but don't tell anyone. OF COURSE you're going to tell EVERYONE.
Can you post a picture? I don't understand whats so cool about it? In reality its just reading and then feeding your card number to Doyles room, seems no different than typing in the number yourself? Maybe I'm reading this wrong.

It's not the same as typing the number because there is other data on the magstripe on the back of the card. For credit cards, merchants get charged a different rate for processing credit card transactions over the Internet than in-store because they have what's called "card present." With this system, it's probably harder to track the purchase because to the bank processors (or credit cards if they decide to enable that), it looks like the credit card is present for a transaction. It's pretty smart, but they're gonna spend some bucks getting these boxes into end users hands.
