Being kind of old-school, I've always done checks for cashouts. Getting ready for a live series next week, I requested a check early in the morning of the 31st. I've never had a problem with checks going through my business account when I deposited in person. A little over a year ago,
I wrote up the chronology on a check I ordered: 50 hours to approval, 62 hours to a FedEx tracking number, less than a week from the time I requested the withdrawal (midnight Sunday) to the time the check was in the bank (midday Friday, and that was after an unsuccessful delivery attempt).
I hadn't done a cashout for a while because I've been trying to run things up a bit, but I was hoping for a similar experience.
Got approval and notice that the withdrawal was processed about 30 hours after I made the request (that was Wednesday morning). Things seemed to be on track.
I didn't hear anything else for more than two days, until yesterday afternoon when I got an email from the "Ignition Casino Bitcoin Advisory Team" (ICBAT) saying they wanted to help me out by dragging me into the 21st century and getting my payouts "expedited" with Bitcoin. Okay, sure. But most importantly, I wanted to see if my check was held up.
I called them back and the guy I talked to said the check wasn't held up, but I was guessing that it wasn't going anywhere over the weekend since it hadn't actually shipped by Friday evening (or night). Then I got to talk to someone from ICBAT and they were very helpful setting up a wallet (I'd already made up a Coinbase account). They were offering a $100 withdrawable bonus for setting up and as the man says "I like money."
The check's cancelled (which makes me wonder just how much "processing" had actually been done). We get the transfers through, I shift the wallet funds to Coinbase, which is linked to my bank account, and then the Sell window tells me it's going to be available on 10 November (maybe). Seriously? The email from Ignition says: "Instead of you waiting about 10 business days just to get your check I can show you how to get the money into your bank account within just a couple of days." By my count, that's at least 10 days. from early the morning of the 31st to the 10th (maybe).
This is the lightning-speed promise of crypto-currency? I want my jetpack.
