Not true at all. My last few skrill WD's took 2 weeks which makes me think they dont have as much money in the bank as people would like to think. Delays in WD's are never anything but cash flow problems and not "approval delays, technical issues, staff shortages" like the emails will say. Cashout times are directly proportional to solvency imo (at least for ROW) and after the Merge/lock split it has been taking more than 2x longer for my Skrill WD's.

Skrill does have merchant volume limits....

Try another method, instadebit, click2pay, neteller, or one of the other dozen options. Everyone clogs Skrill IMO

I would bet my life that Merge cashouts to Skrill weren't delayed because they were processing cashouts too fast.

Before the Merge/Lock split it took 4-5 days, now it takes 2 weeks. Coincidence? Imo they spent too much player money on their software upgrade to compete with Lock.

How long do Western Union deposits take to get the money in your account? I am wanting to have money to play some tourneys today and will need another method if it takes a long time. Also, will any visa gift cards work on Black Chip?

I've deposited with WU 3 times. All 3 times I've left the bank (5min from my house) and had the money either the right away upon return home or a short wait after.

Only certain prepaid cards work, but not sure which sorry

I'd like to concede the point to you and admit I'm wrong, but this can't be 100% correct because USA players with WU withdraw get their money within a few days.

And checks have been coming in less than 4 weeks for the few recents posts I've read. My last check was 4mo3days...surely if they were having liquidity problems then checks would simply just come in slower? It wasn't long ago when people were whining about a 2 month wait and claiming they'd been robbed.

Can you please elaborate on this? We need to do more than one deposit via WU to be able to cashout through WU?

Please, elaborate. How many do we have to do? Is it a set amount of money we need to reach, or number of deposits? Once it's turned on (The WU cashout option), does everybody have the same withdrawal limit? Or do they vary?

Considering Merge has an in house software team, I'd venture that they spent no more than their normal staffing expenses and that your wild speculation is ignorant of this fact.

To the upper right is an option titled "search this thread"
The answers to your questions are repeated numerous times throughout

Easy Breezy!

Does the money in minutes work for all merge skins?

+1 Checks are banging out faster than ever. Even using his own theory that cashout times are directly proportional to solvency, which isnt accurate anyways obviously, they are doing fine.

Requested July 25th - Approved August 10th - Carbon

Perhaps I'm being a little extreme and I didnt know WU withdrawals were instant, but to think Merge holds all player money in trust is a joke. I'll post nothing more on the subject because obv its a pointless arguement.

You making accusations against a company with absolutely no proof whatsoever is a joke imo. You may or may not be right, but to flame a company without any real proof is not fair.

I'm experiencing some issues as well on the client (BCP) regarding transfers, MTT lobbies closing, etc.

I'm looking into this and will check with my boss over at BCP and report when I have more info.

Thinking about returning to Merge. I remember Carbon didn't have as good rewards as others (cashback per rake etc). Anyone know which skin has the easiest rewards to get?
