It's come tot the point where im not intrested in playing if there is no way to cash out. the dedicated players have been waiting long enough. There is only so much faith i can give, and only so much time i can invest in your site without any sure thing of anytime a cashout will be happening.

I know i have asked before and you have said things have held you back, since you have updated your site numerous times, i dont think i can watch another ad without knowing for fact i can cash out my coin after grinding on your site

That being said i do like your site a lot and dont want to seem like a negative nancy, but please the store needs to be up ASAP, im talking like within the next 48 hours.

I have a fair amount of coins on BUP so I'm interested in this as well, and I get your concern. I just have kinda adopted the stance that it will happen when it happens. Do it right before doing it quickly.

Doing it right at this point, would be getting the store online asap. there is only so much one person can play without having the option to win anything.

mid September has been the word for a bit now on when the beta testing will be complete (and hence the store opening).

We're working on the store. It's a tough balancing act between features, fixes, and promotion but getting the store online is a high priority.

Probably should have had the store ready from day one lol

Why not in the interim offer, say, just the $20 PayPal Gift Card for anyone wanting to cash out c25,000?

This would show that the proposed system should work; it would revitalise the players who appear to be losing some interest; and seeing some payments made would attract new players.

two months almost still cant cash out...

Also a little sidetracked, when we go into play and go, we are gambling to start off with 25 chips we earn from watching an advertisement. You said previously people cant play at the tables with their coins they cashout from play n go because that is considered gambling, but we are playing play and go to earn coins to cashout...? what am i missing here? I would love to sit down with the 30k coins i have produced. Im sure there are others that wuld too.

I guess it's just the same as working in a widget-making office where everyone gets paid for every hour they spend there, but, as part of their employment contract, they have to play poker with this pay before they can take some home, (as long as they still have a certain minimum amount left after playing).

Obviously, they wouldn't be allowed to bring previous pay taken home back into the next week's game as that would look like they were coming to work to play poker, not to make widgets.

As mentioned in its own thread, the store is open! Just wanted to post it here in case you're subscribed to this thread and want to know. Enjoy!

I used the store this morning. I did the $50 amazon gift card at 8am central time. I will report back when I receive confirmation. Maybe there should be a withdrawal thread like other poker sites have?

We're jumping through some of Amazon and PayPal's fulfilment hoops, so it may take a few days, but it ought to speed up once we get the wrinkles ironed out. I'll be curious to see how fast we can do this too!

https://definitions.uslegal.com/g/gambling/

This is a pretty concise article on the legal issue of "gambling" in the U.S. The short of it is, if you can lose something that is considered to have value, then you're gambling. Tournament chips don't have any value, they are merely a score keeping instrument of the game. Just like you can't keep any Aces you're dealt, you also can't keep your tournament chips. They don't represent anything of value. As such, you can keep playing in the contest with your chips until you're broke or until you're ready to cash out. When you cash out, we reward you for success in our contest with coins that have value on our site, and therefore you can't use those coins in a game of poker or we would be breaking the law in 47 U.S. states, and would need to be licensed in the other 3, which we're not.

Just wanted to update. Its 5:15 pm Central time. I just received the $50 dollar gift card on my amazon account. That is pretty quick.

This week we're doing things mostly manual as we only had time to get the storefront operational. Today, I'm still working to get funds pushed around and processes in place to get the notifications out. So it actually took way longer than it normally would. In the future, we hope to make it an automatic or semiautomatic process whereby rewards would be transferred within seconds of placing an order. It's a work in progress.

If there's one thing I would want everyone to know is that the delays in getting the store up were entire programmatic and had nothing to do with funds availability. There's just a bunch of stuff to do, both on the client and behind the scenes. We're getting there.

So, whatcha gonna buy on Amazon?

Just requested $100 amazon. Thanks BUP.

requested $20 paypal yesterday

You're very welcome. Thank you too. Your Amazon gift cert was recently sent out.

As stated in our official store thread, PayPal orders will be fulfilled on Oct 4th. Please refer to that thread for more details.

I've received two Amazon gift certs in the last two days, both arrived in less than 24 hours. It works peeps, time to climb on the BUP train!
