will RPMSETH come to this thread and tell US players the truth about cashouts is the question...cause it is becoming obv people in US are NOT recieving there money from this site...how can anyone play on there knowing they havent got paid or prob wont get paid?

is it truly helpful to exclude non usa players from this thread? to me, it seems they are part of the big picture, whether they are getting any $, one way or the other.

I'd be surprised if any of the RPM guys know much more than we do. And fwiw they've been very helpful every time I've interacted with them

Yes, US Players only......IMHO.....don't need the dilution of hearing about non US players success in cash outs when the main point is whats the experience like for the US players, playing this Skin, in their attempt to cash out.....I know there is another thread on 2+2 for Merge Skin withdrawals, but this one for USA players on RMP Specifically......please.....

Made my first cash out may 27th, just a small one to see if it goes thru and how long B4 I commit to playing high stakes on this site, After doingthe verification process thru live chat 3 times, my transaction is still sitting with a 'Requires manual approval' tag on the history. On the upside, have had a little success and basicially freerollin if I get my one withdrawl sitting in limbo, but I am not happy that they have a way to get you up and running in a matter of minutes when its a deposit, yet getting a check requires a lot of jumping thru hoops and waiting. That I even had to ask thru live support about it was disappointing, what if I had not noticed the required approval tag in the first place.

This is total speculation but here is my best guess as to what is happening... Merge is watching these other sites being gobbled up by the DOJ and hopefully learning from their mistakes. My best guess is they're restructuring the way they do business in order to try to prevent a future seizure. If this was true they're likely moving money around and changing the way they do withdrawals which is creating this delay. Although, it would be nice if they explained what's going on to their customers instead of ambiguously increasing the processing time frame hoping we won't notice something is a matter.

I hope this is the case, but I would still love some kind of explanation as to the delay. I seriously can't bring myself to grind like old on Merge if I'm not confident in a decent withdrawal time.

I am from the US and I guess most players are. So I do not think non US will clutter this thread. You did not put US in the thread title. It should be obvious that the problem we are having is US specific.

Since jweez did his "total speculation" I guess I do not have to speculate.

I continue to have no delays with my withdrawals as my runbad continues.

+1. It's hard to put the time and effort in knowing there's a >0% chance you will not see that money period, and if you're lucky then maybe in 2 months. The only reason I'm bothering playing on Merge is to at least generate some spending money while legislation is in the works here, but if I can't get money out in a timely fashion then playing is essentially useless to me.

So much for keeping this a factual thread about RPM specific cashouts. Oh well, rumormongers gonna rumormonger. In before lock. :P

Yeah until i get a cashout I really have very little motivation to grind.

If i knew i could get my money i would easily grind 4-6 hrs just about everyday of the week. Until than though It's gonna be slow motion.

Finished the account verification May 29th. Had already requested the check a few days prior but :

Requested 5/29

Fingers crossed that I can get the check by the end of the month , perhaps early July , but not counting on it.

I would be ecstatic if they closed this thread if people continue to insist on posting which bank they're using and which bank the check was issued from.

WU is done on Lock, maybe permanently, because people couldn't resist the urge to post about it.

Let's use a little common sense and keep that info to PMs!

lol all these "pending approvals" is exactly why i have yet to deposit on Merge. Hopefully things will turn around and people will start getting paid. Until they do so, no online poker for me

Out of curiousity, I asked RPM support during a live chat today if we were any closer to seeing a resolution to this problem. My answer back was Merge is currently working through a backlog of requests, wait time is 4-6 weeks. As they get through these requests, we hope to see the wait times curtailed.

Take that fwiw, just adding some facts to the thread instead of speculation.

thats great, starting to feel like FTP

Rizen (Lock Poker) has posted information on the reason WU was removed as a withdrawal option, in the Lock Poker / LockPoker thread and it apparently has nothing to do with LE.

Hi folks,

I've noticed that a fair amount of you wanted a new withdrawal thread created.

I don't have a problem at all with the thread being created, but I don't want it to spin out of control. I have merged the older thread with this one so I can put this post at the top.

I will close this thread if it spins out of control and starts getting speculative, so here are a few things to note.

1) Merge has had an enormous amount of transaction requests and is doing as best they can to process transactions safely and efficiently.

2) Checks are taking between 3-6 weeks for most players. This is what we've been quoting, but this can change. Merge has taken steps to try to cut down wait times.

Again, please understand that we are equally as frustrated - if not moreso - with the wait times in processing your withdrawals. We are not interested in keeping your money from you, but we are interested in making sure that your money reaches you safely. I can't thank you enough for your patience, and I sincerely appreciate that most of you guys are handling all of the news.

Seth,

People here completely understand the backlog, but I think the issue people have is that nobody on 2p2 has had a check withdrawal processed in the past few weeks. Some people are upwards of 8 weeks and have not been processed yet. We don't mind waiting 6 weeks for a cash out as a temporary measure if it actually means you get money at 6 weeks. Unfortunately that is not the case, right now all we are seeing is a continuously increasing processing time and super generic auto responses from support. Just look at the responses in this thread, it is clear the relationship between lack of communication/payment of funds and decrease in play is exponential with time. We're not demanding money in the bank tomorrow, all we're asking for is more disclosure.

Has anyone used Click2Pay to cashout? I haven't seen that option discussed much, and i'm considering signing up for it. If anyone who's used this method to cashout, could tell about their experience I would greatly appreciate it.

I hope RPM gets Wetern Union or Moneygram. I'm not willing to play anywhere online where I can't my money sent immediately. Also, I won't play anywhere without A+ customer service. I feel RPM has that given that Seth seems to always answer posts and PMs in a timely manner. If Lock Poker can do WU I don't see why other Merge skins can't.

I haven't used C2P since back when it was first implemented in Stars, so can't provide too much current information. I did look into it briefly when UMW/QT went out, since I had a preexisting account though. Minimum withdraw from C2P is $1500. Not a very realistic option for a rec. player. Also, I have heard that C2P is not currently processing cashouts to Americans, but have been unable to substantiate or refute that claim.

As far as the WU issue, that's been gone over several times in other threads, particularly the Lock Poker thread. Lock Poker runs their own casino site, which is entirely separate from the Merge network. This is the reason they were able to offer WU independently, i.e completely unrelated to the Merge network in any way, shape, or form. Since RPM uses the Merge network cashier, they are bound to operate under the Merge network guidelines, thus no WU.

Seth mentioned Merge looked into doing WU withdrawals and decided against it. Makes me wonder how safe I'd be with my money at Lock, especially with their sort of shady reputation before they even got on Merge.

Thanks for your input. I attempted to sign-up for an account after my last post, and received the following error message:

"Unfortunately, registration with CLICK2PAY is temporarily not possible. We ask you please try to register again at a later time."

So I guess this isn't a viable option right now, unless you already have a pre-existing account Hopefully it will be back up soon.

Seth can you comment on this statement by Rizen in the Lock thread... he later clarified checks by courier available on Monday 6/13

Seth,

Can you tell us if RPM's casino is seperate of Merge? It seems some of Lock's success and future plans on cashouts revolve around their casino being independent of the Merge cashier.
