*** Merge Network deposit/withdrawal discussion thread*** - Page 4 - Internet Poker

Playersonly does, just goggle $50 no deposit bankroll playersonly. The checks seem to come in much faster than the bankwires from what everyone is saying. I might need to get checks in lieu of waiting 3 weeks for bankwires.

The skins break down to a matter of promotions and value depending on what you play.

If you are a volume grinder, Carbon is best- Top tier is about 80% effective rakeback before bonuses. See last few pages of Carbon thread- I broke it down.

Lock you can get the IPAD2 right now or what equates to 100 rb on first 1k of rake

RPM has great daily incentives and 40% total rb when you hit top tier- great for lower grinders/micros, lower bonus clearing points.

So do your homework.

Also , no matter where you play, pick an affiliate that has personal rake chases for the skin you choose. That is another 10%+ effective rakeback on top of the 35%, depending on volume. Make sure it is personal though- not overall rake race or rake chase. Several affiliates offer this.

Would you mind PMing me which affiliate you went with?

Interesting...

Please Note:
Due to the sheer volume of incoming traffic overloading their systems, PlayersOnly have asked all affiliates to temporarily suspend sending them new players. This does not affect any rakeback or promotions for existing players. They hope to be able to return to normal service ASAP. Thank you for your patience on this!

Merge has always had very slow payouts, I wonder what the new timeframe will ACTUALLY be with all this new traffic?

Not trying to panic anyone, but Merge used echeckUS which was shut down recently.

They did, but don't now.

Afaik, they are a middleman- not connected to site like the banks are connected to stars and tilt. Just another processor bust.

Are their any Visa gift cards I can buy online and get the number to put on Carbon that will work? (PM me if anyone knows please)

I don't have a Visa and only have a few Mastercards I use. I actually do have click2pay but they won't email me back as adding a new option is broken and I have options on there. I'd rather not spend a bunch of money in Western Union fees and feel uncomfortable wiring money Internationally so if anyone has any alternative options please shoot me a PM if you could. Thanks.

PM the carbon rep in the carbon thread.

WU is fine though- works well. Also, right now there is a 10% instant deposit bonus at carbon on any no cc deposit- so will cover WU fees totally.

UMW is a piece of cake if you can get that worked out. Dont be afraid of WU though.

WU can be done from your computer if they can verify you. Land line phone in your name, etc.

Bottom line I guess with WU is how bad do you want to play? They are in most grocery stores. Pick up and bread and milk and take 2 seconds to fund acct in same trip..

So is all this UMW and WU talk because the Visa option doesn't work at all? (Didn't work for me on Friday due to website malfunctions, but haven't tried again since)

I'll just wait for Carbon rep to contact me back or Click2Pay which I might be waiting forever for them to reply.

I wish Carbon accepted Mastercard. I have a few and the one hooked up to my bank usually never gets declined. I used to have a have a few Visa cards but one I canceled and the other they changed to Mastercard.

I'm not in that much of a hurry to go with WU so I'll wait to see what happens.

It seems like it would work fine. There is very clear option to send in USD funds also.

The first live chat I was told it takes about an hour when you use WU online compared to a few minutes in person. I noticed there was no 'City' option so I contacted live chat again and 2nd person said it has to be in person.

Would be nice to do online.
