Firepay Poker Payment Method   

What is Firepay? 

Firepay was once an online payment method but has recently closed down. They stopped all account transactions and in December 2007 closed their doors and liquidated the company. Firepay would safely move your money into our out of your personal bank account, transferring it to any poker room of your choice. The common methods of depositing funds into your Firepay account with your credit card or via bank draft were accepted. Unlike many other sites Firepay did not charge their clients fees per transaction or a sign up amount to join as a member. They did charge a small fee when you deposited money into your Firepay account. People opted for the more popular Paypal service, leaving Firepay with a considerably small amount of customers.  

How do I withdraw money from my Firepay account? 

In 2007, when Firepay closed their doors, account holders where given 150 days to close their accounts and withdraw whatever remaining funds still lingered there. You would have put in a withdrawal request and the money would then have been emailed to you and arrive several days later. You will find it next to impossible to access your account now that Firepay has been out of business for so long. If there is a large amount worth the hassle there is an email information service on their website. Transactions will be charged at $25. 

Can I still use my Firepay account for other sites? 

No, the business has ceased to exist altogether now. No merchant, casino or poker sites have the Firepay option anymore. 

. Further Problems 

There is only one way to get hold of someone at Firepay and that is through the email address on their old site. Unfortunately you shouldn’t expect to hear from them any time soon if at all, as they often do not reply to emails. Often your money has been forfeit and is unattainable. And sadly there is no one to complain to about this.  

Looking for a virtual card account that works with online casino sites?
