well, there's the transfer market (?)

Sorry, that's not possible unfortunately.

Can't transfer right now.

plz consider re adding heads up fixed limit omaha hi lo tables

thank you for your consideration of my suggestion

IHasTehNutz: Just to keep things in perspective. The people who are really getting hurt here are those who are getting backed by others (and those doing the backing). They seriously have something to complain about. If this is in fact only temporary, for most of the rest of us it is only an inconvenience. The real crime here is Merge's lack of communication.

In a few days Carbon is going to have its own cashier. They say that they are going to raise the max cash out and increase the number of withdrawal methods. I think that this forces the Merge Network to also make changes otherwise the other skins won't remain competitive; some of the skins could possibly go under. So there is probably a lot going on right now. Another thing to keep in mind is that if poker is legalized in the US, because of its paranoia about money laundering, there aren't going to be any p2p transfers at all on the US regulated sites. We shouldn't be taking these p2p transfers for granted.

I don't know anything about ACR, but Lock I simply don't trust, even though I do play there sometimes. The numbers just don't add up to me. The acquisition of Cake was very expensive. The fact that they are developing their own proprietory software is very expensive. I don't know how they do it but some posters in this forum have claimed that they are paying almost no rake; some have stated that they are getting more than 100% of their money back. I just have a bad feeling that Lock is spending player deposits. I can't find the post but I'm pretty sure I remember, immediately after Revolution opened, someone asking one the the Lock reps if player funds were segregated and the rep answering that they weren't. Someone needs to re-ask that question. If all the US sites went belly-up tomorrow, Merge is the place that I would most like to have my money on, despite the dumb things that they occasionally do.

To which was my main point all along - the lack of communication. To me, as someone who might have wanted to play on their network, that is a big thing. They don't have to communicate - fine. I don't have to play there, either. I'm sure they could care less, since I'm not a reg or a hardcore grinder. But to a man, I still believe in honesty, as naive as that is. So until they learn that it's a good idea to at least try to communicate with players (and their reps basically back this up - they weren't informed of this either, and the BCP rep in particular stated he wasn't for this and actually tried to talk them out of it, or words to that effect), they won't be looked upon as reliable - to me and I am sure I'm not the only one who thinks that way.

However, while the backers and such have more to complain about, they aren't the only ones affected. A logical assumption (again, since they don't seem to care to enlighten many folks with their reasoning, or even a bland outline) is the elimination of transfer ability will only clog up cashout requests as that will be the only method of getting money to you. While at least one room (ACR) seems to think P2P will help them (and watch them now - I bet it will with this dickery from Merge and the insipidously slow payout timeframes on Lock), Merge doesn't - and that's fine. Again, it's their business.

As far as US regulation goes - Merge won't stand a chance if poker is regulated here. I am quite certain that most folks will immediately head to Pokerstars once they can again operate here in the US. To the few who don't, they will likely keep in mind that Merge has now a history of making decisions that affect them without so much as giving them an email or a heads up - other than to say "this is the new policy...enjoy" just as it's going into effect. I don't think P2P will be all that necessary when poker comes back anyway (for most folks, and those who wish to operate above board...lol), as one would assume with proper regulation and taxation that withdrawals and cashouts will be far more instantaneous. But that's just a thought, anyhow.

yellow?

Why do Canadians have to wait so long for withdrawals? Or anyone in a country where online poker is still A-OK?

wat

by 'so long' do you mean like a week?

hello?

Merge confirmed today that the change is permanent - Meaning players will not be able to send p2p transfers moving forward.

thx for the info. snap withdrawing br.

GG Merge. Welcome to no traffic.

just let me add that I played on bcp as DeepBlueDay. I raked over $30,000 on this skin but the change has forced me to take my business elsewhere.

I wish there was something we could do to keep you at BCP. If so please email us - vip@blackchippoker.eu - unfortunately the decision on p2p is out of our hands.

Are we going to get a speedier withdrawal process at least? More options? 4-6 weeks just to get approved for a check is a joke.

I sent an email.

Is there a deposit limit on W/U "Cash Transfer" deposits for BlackChip Poker?

I made a deposit earlier today using the cash transfer (WU) method and it has since been approved/cleared and added to my account...but now I want to do it again and I don't see the cash transfer option.

Just got a pop up while logged into the software. "Transaction successful, details have been emailed...etc"


But looks like my withdrawal has once again been returned to my account balance.

Seriously WTF

Does not compute.

He's a tournament player.

Thats not even 30,000 pennies.

Ok Computes.

I just found it funny as I lied too about my rake when trying to get merge to up limits but they are actually pretty sharp with regards to not wanting money to leave their site. Shame they are not so sharp with everything else

Merge have stated that the decision to stop p2p transfers has nothing to do with withdrawals and/or withdrawal processing times.

They have also stated they are always working to improve withdrawals.
