Yup.

And how long do those take to process and receive?

Jesus...scroll up a few posts? My last check took 6 weeks and 6 days from request to being in my hand, and on average checks have taken ~5.5 weeks from request to being in hand.

Not quite...

...More like 7 weeks.

5 weeks for approval, which is the only thing that matters really. They can't make FedEx any faster. If Merge can bring this down somehow to 2-3 weeks I could live with that, but about $1600 per month max is just a bit ridiculous.

If you don't mind getting .9 or possibly .95 per dollar, just transfer it to a Euro/Canadian/Non-American in the trading section and get paid instantly.

Where are you seeing .9 or .95? All i really see are people offering .82-.85 max.

I actually got xfer deal with .9 few days ago. you can't get .95 unless you are really lucky or about to get scammed.

Can anyone confirm that WU withdraw is still an option at lock? Also does anyone know if you have to deposit WU to have WU as a withdraw method? I'm at carbon and do not feel like waiting > 4 weeks for a check.

Yes, WU is a withdrawal option on Lock and the last time I checked the max was $250. I believe you do not have to make a deposit through WU in order to be able to withdrawal through it. You just have to have your account verified in order to withdrawal through one of the options which has been taking anywhere from 3days to a week to do. Lock has better withdrawal options than other skins, but their support isn't so great.

anyone still getting paid in ?

Hello i need some advice, i recently won a large some of money on Merge Network its over $50,000... I live in the US, and at this moment my only options are to request a check at $2500 per request which seems like might take over 2 years to complete. I am considering moving out of the country to make this a quicker process, I would prefer Canada because its closer and i just wanted to figure out the process of what i will need to do. Also can someone please provide me with the cashout process and forms of cashouts in Canada? Also would i need a permanent address and bank in Canada to make this happen, and also what would the MAX cashouts be there and how quick and how often could i do that. Thanks for any help i can get.. Take care and FML if the DOJ locks me down before i get this taken care of lol...

Contact your skin. They might be able to help you with your large-sum withdrawal.

I can advise you on this sir. Unfortunately you do not have PMs enabled because you do not have the requisite number of posts. This makes it extremely hard for me to get in touch with you. Since I will not be posting or asking you to post any public information on the forums we have the following options:

1) You make a throw away email address and post it, I will contact you there. I will then advise you on how to easily verify my forum identity. Once verified, we can exchange more detailed contact information and I can commence helping you.

2) You can make the requisite number of posts to get PMs enabled (*I think it's TEN). Here are the rules regarding new users and PMs copy/pasted from the Person to Person Transfer Thread:

*snackpack*

Hey Kahn, i just sent a reply to your email, I am still not able to PM unless im a complete noob and have no clue what im doing.. Maybe try to message me and i will see how to reply. Thanks.

Replied via email. Your PMs can not be enabled at this time... I tried.

RPM requested I think 2/22. Approved today 3/27.

RPM is such a joke.

Withdrawals take weeks/months to be approved and processed. An automatic fee of $15 is charged to initiate a withdrawal, and it is credited back (allegedly) if you email them in certain timeframe after approval. After my withdrawal was pending in excess of six weeks, i stopped checking regularly. So, i did not realize and email them until after the acceptable timeframe.

I am disappointed with how little they value (previously) loyal customers. The fee, in itself, is a thinly veiled skim of player funds. Then, to not credit back after seemingly endless approval process is a complete joke.

I will gladly play at Cake, where at least they aren't openly trying to (over) rake you and then rake cashouts as well.

$2015 check on Hero Poker

When I tried to deposit my check in the bank today they told me that since it was a Canadian Bank that they would have to charge me a $75 fee to get the money since it wasn't a US bank. Naturally I was pissed and told them I already had $15 taken out as a processing fee. Not only did they say I would be charged $75, they also said it could take 3-4 weeks to clear. I left the bank without depositing.
My question is "has anyone has had this happen when depositing"? I belong to a pretty big regional bank and they said all the banks have this fee when dealing with non-US banks. Also I am wondering what bank people are getting their checks from? The check I received was from the "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX". Is this where you all are getting checks from? I'd really appreciate some input on this and feel free to PM me to discuss further if you want
