i honestly dont understand why anybody would use MB. seems like just another middleman between u and your money.

someone please explain why anybody would ever use UMW. i honestly dont see the point. just another place your money could get stuck/frozen/delayed and they charge you for it. seems pointless.

I ran a $25 deposit up to $1,744 in 4 days playing donkaments... I just requested a $1,500 cashout by check, they send the checks by fedex for a $15 fee. I guess I am going to have to wait now, I will update the thread to let you guys know how long it took and if there was any issues cashing the check.

If you can expedite things for me RPMSeth, I will say great things about you and RPMpoker in this thread. My screen name is "acetoyourhead"

Hit UMW today on 4/26, so 4 days, not bad.

I went to VIP chat and asked about VIP withdraw and this is what I was told by RPMJon... I had requested a $1,500 payout by check and I was hoping that I could get it quicker by using this option.

please explain. i still dont see how an online ewallet could be useful.

^^ Its just much quicker. I requested UMW and it was in my UMW in 24 hours and now it will take 3 days to be in my bank.

It goes directly into your bank account instead of a physical check (which can be lost, bounce, etc). And it is only $15 more because RPM charges $15 anyways

In USA, Requested check withdrawal 4 days ago, still pending.

Or quickest and most helpful to all... Start transfering out to other players + vig. EVERYONE WINS. No wallets to hassle with. No checks to wait for approval. No waiting on check delivery, etc etc. They play, you get paid, and then you take it back again. Rinse and Repeat. Ane the best part of all... its almost instant and theres tons of demand!

Just my 2c

is there a withdrawal method that doesnt charge you a fee?

Carrier pigeon

When UMW transfers the money to your bank account, does your bank charge a fee?

I would imagine that is entirely bank dependent. If I read the UMW/QuickTender page correctly, they deposit via Bank Wire. So it depends on if your particular bank charges for incoming wires. Best bet would be to talk to them directly and see if they could wave the fee, if they charge one at all.

not to mention that it is an easy way to move money from site to site to take advanatage of reload bonuses. Pretty much all of the remaining US sites use them. Going from Merge to Cake for a reload can be done in 3 clicks of the mouse basically.

$15 on chase for wire transfer plus the $30 UWM fee. $45 per UWM transfer with chase.

This is why I'm considering it when I haven't really had the need in the past. It seems more of a necessity now to me then it did in the past with it becoming more and more difficult to deposit and move funds without an eWallet. I was disapointed to learn that the Cake Skin I use doesn't accept UMW though . Cake wouldn't accept me because they do not accept KY or WA state residents. There are other processors though that it accepts and its still a very useful option, IMO.

To who said its another place to be frozen. Most people only use it as a processor and do not leave funds in there for any length of time, thus minimizing any chance that their funds are frozen.

Just a note that I deleted the last 3 posts in this thread. This is not a place to post uncorroborated claims and/or start rumors

To RPMSeth:

I requested a withdrawal more of a small sum just a week ago.

The money isn't in my account and neither pending at the moment. It says that my withdrawl needs to be manually approved.

I asked support about this, but after 5 days still no reply, so can you help me out?

Btw: My 1st cashout on this site, and I have send all documents and stuff for verification.

Been about a week now and not even approved for a check, is this standard?

No need to post multiple times in this thread. Check withdrawals are usually a few weeks to get approved. Your funds are safe.

For those of you who have used UMW. Did it take any time from when you got the confirmation email from them saying the funds were put into your account until the funds were in yojur account?

nevermind just saw it may take 3-5 business days since the wire is initiated

Just wondering how long it takes to verify ID? I sent it in 2 days ago and have not received a reply. I talked to live support today and they said they received my e-mail and it is in the queue but has not been looked at yet.

I had one withdraw request denied after pending for 4 days, because support wanted to see ID & the verification form. What is the estimated time on that, and after they look at the e-mail how long to approve my moneybookers withdraw?

Generally, things like this take only a few hours. However, because of the increased volume on the Merge Network, support is backlogged and requests are taking much longer than usual.

We ask for your patience in this matter while Merge works through the backlog. They are working as quickly as they can!

If you'd like to check on your withdrawal and see if expediting it is possible, please chat in live with RPM Jon at www.RPMPoker.com.
