I believe you will find that they employ smarmy misdirection whenever your inquiries approach the when/why/how of their current cashout practices. I think I'll get my $ before I get a straight answer on anything substantive.

requested $500 cashout on august 30th,

processed on september 16th

Requested 1K cashout on 6/23
Still "Pending" after numerous emails to them

FU Cake Poker.

Cake is ****ED!

I LOVED that site----had so much potential.

Now, RIGGED!

Thought I'd post my latest interaction w/ Cake support, in case it might contribute to an overall info base re: Cake cashouts:

ME:
Look,

Are you just going to continue your roundabout, dishonest hemming and hawing responses to my cashout questions while intending to steal my money all along? Is ANYONE getting paid? I don't see a lot of posts in the forums about people getting paid -- only legions of people who now hate Cake. Are you actually going to pay me? Are you ACTUALLY progressing toward my cashout? I know it's your job to give me formulaic, cut-and-paste, irrelevant responses. I know it's your job to give me the runaround -- I'm just trying to figure out whether I could/should sell my Cake money for pennies on the dollar. I hear Cake money is selling for 45 cents on the dollar, and I know it's only gonna go lower.

CAKE:

Thank you for your email. All players are being paid but there are considerable delays which we understand are unacceptable, i would not recommend selling your account as you will receive your cashout, and we would not want you to lose income by doing this. With regards posts in forums a player that received there cashout would be far less likely to post as they are ultimately satisfied regardless of the delays to have there funds in there bank account and still have to ability to play online in the US after all bad news will tend to spread 10 times faster than good. I would urge you to be patient and not throw away your funds by selling it through transfer's ect.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Kind Regards

Hypothetically, what if a player went to Cake's address in Curacao and "knocked on their door"? Could they write a check?

I'd happily take a roundtrip flight for $280 if it meant being able to retrieve a significant portion of bankroll.

Waaaat?

They are paying. I am US player, got two checks of 3k each in this month. I waited more than 100 days for the first one though. The 2nd one came 5 days after I requested it, pretty shocking to me. deposited them in the bank. Haven't bounced yet. But probably need to wait a little longer to make sure.

hey all..
new here..long time reader first time poster and havent seen uch about uk players having problems cashing out..im a reg ...yes a female reg on stars..and the games are super soft on cake and i wondered if it was possible to cash out for uk players using moneybookers / bank transfer..the options are there i just wondered whats best/quickest..any uk players on cake?

I played on Cake until the end of July when I decided that despite the softness of the games, the combination of slow cashouts, the shady way they handled the LIMITBOSS 60k affair and the DOJ actions against Pokerstars, etc, meant it was too risky to continue playing there. I'd withdrawn a large chunk of my roll on there over the previous 12 months anyway (in smaller amounts - approx. 3k at a time). Neteller withdrawals were taking about 3 - 4 weeks each time. My last withdrawal I did by bank transfer at the end of July and that took about a week I think (I posted in here somewhere but I can't be bothered to look back and find the exact time it took).

Hope this helps.

Requested 8-3
4.5k through Moneybookers
Received 9-15
non US
Previous request took about 9 weeks

I might be in the same boat with regard to cake itself being my rakeback provider. I didn't beta test but I was playing Cake way back in the olden days. Sigh. Maybe I can run good and get the check by xmas.

5K non-US by EcoCard
requested 9/9
received 9/19

really surprised

Hey i waited about 10 weeks for my last withdrawel, uk moneybookers, one before that about 7 weeks i think, posted the exact dates in this thread, was just checking to see how payouts were going, lol no change, steer clear flutter eyes, safer places for us to put our money.

You think they would send them out a little faster then!

That's exactly the same advice Bernie Madoff was giving to his victims when they wanted to sell their stock at a loss. He consistently urged them not to sell that they'll lose money. Don't sell. Don't sell because I don't want to see you losing money. So you know what to do when you get that advice. SELL, AND SELL FAST! I wish it wasn't that complicated to sell because I'd sell in a heartbeat.

You guys in the US know what the official standing regarding US gambling transactions through poker sites and banks in the United States of Screwmerica is like, right? I guess some people never learn to appreciate the small things ...

Update 3: Received on the 19th. Will deposit on 21st. Please clear......

Good luck DJM! Is gonna be alright, you'll see.

Nope nobody would answer...if this was true I would drive to Canada to get my 40K from UB

6/29 still waiting

I'm also aware of a poker site that has shown it has been capable of getting me money within a month (if not a week) many times since Black Friday.

waiting on $1000.24 requested 6/24
numerous emails etc

Requested $509 yesterday 9/19, I'm out for good.

Last cashout took about 3 months. Hoping for this to be a small xmas bonus.

$1,463.80 cashout, Neteller, non-US

Requested 9/16
Credited 9/20

Now that's a post-Black Friday record. Payment received after only two business days!

I no longer have any money at Cake and I also have no plans to return to their network again, but I have to acknowledge that, in these times of turmoil and uncertainty, they came through for me.

I'll keep following this thread and pulling for you guys, especially the US players, the ones who are having the hardest time receiving their money. I believe that, if I got paid, you will all get paid eventually as well.

Good luck!

req 5/25 processed on 9/7 deposited today let's hold one time!

also lol at the name of the check sender, won't say anymore obv but it makes sense for why they are being so slow.
