WOW. Closing bank accounts? Yikes.

You know any info on this Kahn?

Kahn must be having a busy weekend so far. I'm sure he will be in here by nightfall claiming that this is standard procedure in today's online environment.

It is standard. This isn't the first time this has happened and it won't be the last for any of the US sites. This is why it is always recommended to immediately deposit a check and not hold onto it because the account it is drawn from could be closed if you wait

Yes, crooks running an illegal operation is definitely standard.

It's very standard that a business illegally servicing US customers would use that as an excuse for slow paying the rest of the world too eh?


As I've said before, if they insist on serving the US market, I can understand US payouts being slow due to extra caution in processing. HOWEVER, those of us that live in free countries should not have these bullshyt excessive delays. Well over 2 weeks now I've been waiting on a Skrill withdrawal. The request hasn't even been looked at OBV. This is unacceptable, regardless of the US climate.

I would agree with this.

Nope.. but the above post is probably the best advice you can get. This has happened to everyone servicing the US market. The accounts these checks are paid through are not open very long. Best to deposit checks ASAP.

What you need to do at this point is contact your operator, explain the situation, and they will bump you to the top of the list for the next payout.

Very true, but what the poster said is true. This happens occasionally with all US sites, it even happened with Stars and Tilt when they were around.
Obviously this does not excuse slow MB withdraws to ROW players and poor customer service/communication.

Ahh, you dont have to accept these delays. You can play wherever you want. Why are you playing here? What is wrong with you? Instead of just crying like a little baby because you have to wait 2 weeks for your money just shut up, get your money, play elsewhere. There, problem solved for you, and for us in this thread that are sick of reading your stupid overreacting posts.

Youre welcome.

Btw, good job taking ptwps comment about US processing accounts closing being standard, which he is absolutely correct about, and completely putting words in his mouth in your reply to imply he stated something that you completely invented in your head, A+.

LOL.

Peck peck peck away at your keyboard.

Why am I playing there? Ummm, I'm not. I'm waiting for my money, isn't that obvious?


BTW, nice of you to cover Kahn's shift tonight.

But I fully admit to being a sooky baby, lol. Just sucks that online poker has come to this.

Kahn, is it a good idea to keep money on the site or just cash it out? Im on BCP and not sure its a good idea to keep more than like 3k there. Thoughts?

Requested $2.5k via BCP on 9/11.

Still processing

As I've been telling people for months. Try Instadebit, Click2Pay, Webmoney, Neteller, etc. The wait times are considerably shorter than Skrill (who everyone is trying to use at the same time). Of course, as some posters have stated...one can always go to Lock where ROW withdrawals take 40 days and climbing



I have a sneaking suspicion that BCP players will be taken care of in the near future... via a different method... I'd expect news relatively soon.

Requested 1200 on Sept 6th. SEPTEMBER 6th. Still processing. BCP.

Yep, and at PokerStars, ROW players get their money how fast? Don't try to compare Lock Poker with other ROW poker sites which get players their money ASAP. Merge shouldn't take 2+ weeks right for ROW PERIOD!

wtf does row mean?

rest of world

Kahn an reason why WU withdraws are taking way longer then they used to? Seems like since the traffic has died it would speed up withdraws not slow them down.

No US facing site is going to get your money as fast nor as cheaply as Pokerstars does, this is a fact that can not be changed so there is no point in even attempting a comparison to pokerstars. If you do not understand why this is, try searching this thread, it's been explained myriad times by numerous parties, including myself.

ROW cash-outs don't take 2 weeks on Merge. Only Skrill withdrawals approach that boundary, because for the umpteenth time, everyone is using it instead of spreading the burden around to other ewallets which I HIGHLY suggest trying (instadebit, click2pay, webmoney, neteller, etc). And even then, most Skrill transactions are only 10 days on the Merge Cashier.




To my knowledge this is not the case. The time-frame is 2-10 days and I've seen no evidence of anything outside of this stated period.

Is there anyone in the thread who has not eventually been paid, either ROW or US? If not there seems to be a lot of panic over a change that should eventually help the process.

The traffic in the LHE games seems to be up in the last few days and softer than I've seen it since I joined Carbon post BF

No

This took much lobbying but in case you weren't aware why...

I was aware and thanks to yours and others efforts. I also think bringing back the credit card deposit option has made it easier for the rec player to get $ on the site. Always good for the games

Just getting tired of all the "the sky is falling" posts and new threads. In the post BF world we're just going to have to deal with slower withdrawals and manage our bankroll accordingly.

So people should stay away from depositing on BCP?
