I can answer a few of your questions until the BCP rep chimes in.

Currently, WU is the only method available for US players to deposit. That is how I made my deposit and my funds were in my account after about 20 minutes of verifying the transaction. Very simple.

The VIP programs works in tiers, ex. 8 high J high A high. Email vip@blackchippoker.eu and say you want to enroll in the RB instead of VIP. Rakeback pays better than VIP UNTIL you reach Q high VIP. Then switch back to the VIP program. I've done the math and this is the best way.

The 10% boost is a 10% addition to whatever you deposit and is in your account instantly, however, you have to clear 100 VIP points to release the funds.

Hope this helps, GL.

Just hitting week 8 of my check "pending approval." Have given BCP $10k in rake this yr. Thanks BCP.

Hi Paul. (Thanks for the help MeltingNe0 )

Everything MeltingNe0 said, is correct, we will also refund the WU deposit fee, as a bonus, once per month providing your deposit is $200 or greater, up to $15. Please email your WU receipt to vip@... and ask for the WU fee bonus. Thanks, hope to welcome you to BlackChip soon, Paul.

Does BlackChip refund any fees regarding withdrawals, checks, WU etc?

Yes, once per month, as a bonus into your BCP account, once the withdrawal has been processed. Just email vip@... to claim.

Cool, TY.

Just to be clear on this if I want to create an account on BCP and I have played on another Merge skin within let's say the past month I have to wait 6 months to get rakeback on BCP but I can get VIP, which includes exchanging VIP points for cash, right away on BCP?

Thanks for your help.

Assuming you had rakeback on the other skin, that's correct. If you didn't have rakeback on the other skin you may be able to have RB on BCP from the start. If not you can still play at BCP and you will be enrolled in the VIP program.

Thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly!

Are you sure the wait is 6 months? I've always heard that it was 60 days.

BCP rep,

What just happened to the 100k satellite that runs on Saturdays? I was registered and as the tournament was about to go off, I get a message that says "not enough players, funds have been returned."

What happened? When i registered 2 hours ago there were 600 plus people, and I didn't have anything invested anyways so what funds were refunded? Merge seems to be having some serious problems lately. Pretty sick beat for people who planned their schedule around this satellite for them to not get anything out of it.

Yah i'm with tarheels. How do you not have enough players to run a freeroll?

That's kind of lol. Is it going to run at 1pm by chance?

The min players was 1000, 825 registered. Min players should have been lower imo.

Looking at next weeks freeroll it says it needs a minimum of 1000 players. O.o I feel slightly ripped off.

Has it always been that way or is there a good reason for it?

BCP Lowers it's guarantees, again, this time with significant cuts to the big Sunday tournaments.....

Why BCP? Why!!!!!!!!!!!

First off it's not BCP, it's merge. Can we ever get that correct? How many times do I or someone else need to explain that IT IS NOT BCP, IT IS MERGE that is in charge of the guarantees.

Second, it probably has something to do with, oh I dunno, them not meeting the guarantees and losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on overlay? Just a thought.

Disco is spot on. I'm trying to get an answer now from merge if they are going to re-run the freeroll at a different time. If/When I've heard back I'll post.

Great post BTW. I hope this gets more attention and people read and understand this.

Merge can't be ****ing serious right now. This is such a joke. If they are in touch with their site, even just a little bit especially with a satellite where they "give away" 11k in buy ins, then they would know that it rarely starts with 1k players at the beginning.

By the end of late reg, sure it could easily have 1200 or more players, but considering late reg is 55 minutes this is so ridiculous. It definitely has not always been that way, must be new within the last week or two. Must have been a part of that stupid ass site maintenance they did the other night. God I hate the government. Merge wouldn't even be relevant if we didn't have such dumb asses in Congress.

It looks like its been rescheduled for 12:30 if I'm seeing this right. The new min players is just 100. The 1000 min players might have been a mistake.

Yeah, it was rescheduled ^_^

I should have said 12:30 Pacific Time. There's a 55 minute late registration.

How long should I expect to wait for a max Skrill cashout? Anyone have a rough timeframe?

I'm on day 9 or 10 of processing. This is an instant withdrawal method on any REPUTABLE site. Sad.

With regards to switching Merge skins and re-initiating RB;

If we already have an established RB account on one skin; can we take a break, be inactive for 6 months, then make a new account on a new skin and instantly be qualified to receive RB?

Or do would we need to make a new account before taking a break?
