Maybe i forgot some transaction history or something, but it says i have to wait 48 hours between withdrawals??

It used to say max 3 in 24hours..

when did you last deposit?

Maybe they just don't want people to take the piss with multiple small withdrawals for no real reason?

No real reason? Claiming you own money is plenty reason..

Looks like they have some kind of play-through rule now where you have to actually use any funds you deposit to play and can only cash out winnings. I was surprised when after a few days my deposit cleared my bank but was still not available to withdraw. I know in the old days your money was always available to withdraw straight away after you deposited, I mean it is after all your money isn't it? Seems the site is more headed towards the casino side nowadays and prefers depositors. Clearly they want to reduce withdrawals anyway lol.

common practice nowadays @ numerous sites. it's borderline criminal me thinks.

This has been a rule since I first played there in 2003. You deposit x amount of $ and you can't cashout until you rake x amount of $.

This is a complete lie.

Well you're either wrong or have been treated differently maybe because you're in a different country I don't know? I'm in the UK and I have definitely deposited on stars in the past and then withdrawn again without using the money or playing it through first. That is a fact whether you dispute it or not.

Just to make clear, i'm not talking about clearing bonuses or anything here. Just depositing some money and then it is not available to withdraw.

Maybe withdrawals have been banned. For the ecosystem.

No, this is a subject that's been brought up a lot over the years by people who deposit when drunk or win a bunch and then want to snap cashout. This isn't new. I'm sorry you're not remembering correctly. Here's the first relevent 2p2 thread from a Google search where somebody's bitching about this: thread from 2012.

That's what I'm talking about. As said above, you're flat out wrong. It's been this way for well over a decade.

If you want to leave the site, then withdraw it all in one go. Why exactly are you wanting to make a withdrawal one day and then make another withdrawal the next day? This does cost Stars money to process, what were you trying to do that caused this to get flagged up?

The rake through requirements that most sites have make sense to me, they are not there to be banks and let you deposit money for a bit then withdraw without utilising their service. I am more surprised they didn't have that back in the day as some people say?

Also how come you need multiple withdraws in a day?

You can’t withdraw within 48 hours as a rule but speaking from experience sometimes it just lets you withdraw anyway and sometimes it does enforce the 48 hour rule, pretty random

It was a rule of sorts, meaning that it was hardly well defined at the time. There were people who would deposit thousands a few days in a row (when they got 1-2% bonus for Skrill deposits) and cash it all out at the end of the week regardless of how much play they had done.

It was last year where they put in more formalized playthrough rules (basically one needs to wager 1x a deposit or incoming transfer - and a wager means a poker bet that was called (or you called), tournament buy ins or casino/sportsbook wagers.

Other sites like Party had more structured rules for a while, and while it may annoy some who think it is still 2006 - these changes actually in some ways make it better because they are transparent (ie: you can see how much you have available to cash out etc).

The 48 hour rule (after a deposit) I believe was an anti fraud effort.

In time there will be fewer people whining about wanting to deposit/stare at their balance/ then cashout as more realize how this works.

In Finland it was possible to cashout without any action untill like a year ago I think? Like when you received a p2p you didn't have to play at all. Nowadays you need to wager it once before being able to cashout.

I knew it had to be a newer rule because I've played there since '05 and would sometimes make a deposit intending to use it all to play but then needed some and cashed out but apparently you can't do this now and every $ you deposit must be played.
In the old days you only had to 'play through' to clear bonuses.

The guy claiming this has been the case since '03 is just completely wrong.
