The website loads... unless you mean the poker client? You might want to post in the PokerHost Support Thread (though I'm not sure the old rep reads it anymore).

when is mg going to be available to all the sportsbook skins

VERY FEW people have access to it right now. Don't count on being informed if/when the volume of processing power increases for these options. That's just now how they do business.

I havent had the option available since.

Just so frustrating that on other sites they seem to have no problem doing cash transfer and the row can get whatever they want when they want it. While we need to grunt cry and bitch just to hopefully make ends meet. Wish I could just get my money so I wouldn't have to even care about these sad speeds but we all know how that's going.

Req: 1/3/2013
Type: e-wallet max
Rec'd: 1/10/2013
Note: had an unknown verification issue to deal with, that took a couple days of this time, + a weekend inbetween

Just received a check max amount on 1-10-13
Requested it on 11-26-12

Sportsbook.ag

Requested 12/9 max check
Requested 12/16 max check

Both still pending. Will update when received.


I find it funny they try to convince you they need the full 6 weeks to move the cashout from pending to processed.

Every site does things differently. So on The Merge Gaming Network you request a check and it's not "processed" status until the check is actually cut by the processor. Thus in most cases your check arrives 2-4 days later via Fedex. On other networks (see the WPN thread for examples) your withdrawal might be "processed" within a week, but take 2 weeks to arrive via mail. There is no consistency as to what the word "processed" means in this industry is my point

Or Lock where it takes 6 weeks to "process" then 2 more months to receive.

Players Only-

Requested: 11/13
Approved: 1/14

Never understood why people posted when their check is "approved" or "processed."

Why would anyone care about anything other than the date you requested the withdrawal, and the date you received it? Even the amount requested is irrelevant.

Everything else in between is a song and dance with money laund...movement, all of which is irrelevant to the player.

Post like this imo:

USA or ROW
site

requested: xx/xx
received: xx/xx

metaphorical fist-pump

Some people want more detailed information. Just like was explained above, processed to cash in hand varies wildly across different US facing networks. Human beings like to feel as if something is happening. If there are 4 steps involved from request to cash in hand, some people will want to track each of them, and subsequently, have some idea of how long each stage will take.


Maybe, maybe not. Who are we to know if larger amounts take longer and smaller amounts are kicked out faster (either b/c it's easier somehow or because some unscrupulous company might want to make it seem as if more money were moving than actually is) unless this information is gathered and collated.


That said, people are reporting in the Carbon thread their 2nd and in some cases 3rd checks on the new cashier. Reports are 10-12 days between queued up requests from the receipt of the 1st check to each subsequent check. This makes it appear that if someone were to plan in advance, they'd be getting $7,500 off per month more or less using check queues.

ACED:

Requested 1-14
Approved ?????

Just a heads up for people on the players only skin. I think they are about to royally **** over their players. They already removed the VIP class freerolls and replaced them with the 2 generic ones that don't have anywhere near the same value for Ace and King high levels.

Now today when I logged on it appears they are taking away the VIP classes altogether, and my ability to exchange points for cash is gone.

Chat support told me this:

Samantha Davis: Right now you will not be able to exchange VIP points for cash and we don't have an update in regards to this yet. Like I said, the email will get sent later on today with details about this.

As of now I have not received an email with further details. I'm pretty sure it's going to be bad news though :/

Question for people on Carbon and the other skins, do you still have the ability to exchange points for cash?

If and when you get said email, please make a new thread for it in this, the Internet Poker, forum.

I just asked someone @ Carbon, and AFAIK, nothing like this is taking place at Carbon or Aced.

Also of note, Carbon/Aced's VIP program is not the same type of setup, so only 10% of your total (max 45%) compensation comes from exchanging points for cash. The other compensation (up to 35%) is paid daily to your player account.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize Carbon/Aced's VIP program was setup differently. On Players Only I was at Ace high so I was getting 45% but that was all from point exchange. So now I'm effectively getting 0 until they post a new program. I'll definitely post the details when I find out.

Yes, I was just told "100% the Cash for Points at Carbon/Aced is not going away."

I asked myself:
Ivan Flemming: At the moment we are working an a new VIP Porgram for our Poker Software. Unfortunately we do not have any specific information in regards to when this new program will launch. We kindly ask you for your patience in this matter, as we will launch the new VIP Program as soon as possible.

You: well i still have the points i earned? will i eran any points if i play now?

Ivan Flemming: You still have them is just that you can not see them right now. And if you earn more VIP points while we are making this update you will have those VIP points earned showing up once the update is complete

regardless,I won't be playing until something is confirmed. I disabled my rakeback to participate in their vip program, this is ridiculous

Has anyone requested that the bad beat jackpot tables become available to playersonly/sportsbook skins again? I hope many of you have or will so they will bring them back. Having the chance to hit it big at any time was a big draw to me. With that gone and now probably getting a crappier vip deal, I may be done with em

I agree with you completely on the VIP program. I feel they will screw us over somehow...

But as far as BB jackpot, these are such scams to entice players like you.
If thats what draws you to the site and is one of the biggest reasons you play on here, you should take a look in the mirror bc your not gonna hit that. Probably would go to a employee lol

I already hit for 48k once, yeah I know its a sucker bet but I would much rather do something like that which is funner and much better odds than any lottery. I also believe it brought looser players to higher stakes and when the jackpot was high, brought lots more traffic. When I look into the mirror, I will just be reminded of how much of a stud I am, not crap to do with online poker. I do it for fun, not for a way of life, lighten up.

Yea, I second this...I am a king high level, and I went to play in last months VIP turny, and found that crap they replaced it with. I was beyond pissed. There is ZERO reason for me to keep playing there. They already didnt share all the tables with the rest of the network. They had waaaaay less tables then did carbon. I have an account on both, and they didnt share many of the PLO/8 tables with each other. crbon had way more then PO. When they got rid of the debit card, I was 75% gone, now that they got rid of the VIP turnys, I am 100% gone.
