Withdrawals for U.S. customers are ALWAYS going to be subject to problems on short/no notice, at least until poker's legal status is clarified.
Who cares if withdrawals have been taking 5 minutes for the past 6 months, or whatever. There is always a non-trivial chance that your next withdrawal will take 20 days or more. In fact, the chances go up the longer there HASN'T been a problem.
OK, lecture over, but assuming 3-day turnaround is really absurdly optimistic in the current legal environment.
1. There was an exceptional circumstance that required me to withdraw money urgently, and I'm not blaming the site for it.
2. I tried using the premium bank wire to withdraw about a week before I needed the money, which has always been more than an ample amount of time.
3. I waited a few days to see if the premium bank wire option would come back, and obviously it hasn't.
4. Many people on here were claiming to receive regular bank transfers within 1-2 days so I decided to take a chance and try that instead.
5. Still waiting on my withdrawls from Friday & Saturday afternoon to be approved.
6. Apparently some people are getting instantly approved and others like me and bucky have been waiting 48+ hours and have no idea what's going to happen.
7. FML
