Requested BTC - 8/29 2am pst
Received BTC - 9/4 1pm
You do understand that they don't just get your payout request and go "oh gee Joeblow wants his money, here ya go" right?
They basically look over your account history and even review your play each time you request a cash out. They want to make sure you're not abusing bonuses, multi accounting, colluding, or otherwise cheating in their games. Not to mention you did request a cash out right after one of the biggest sporting events in history...
Obviously if you have a solid history with them your payouts may go quicker. Or if you play the same format all the time. But maybe for this period you won your money playing sngs or in the casino as opposed to your regular cash games as an example. Maybe they need more time to review your play.
Anyways it's pretty ridiculous you're crying over waiting a couple of days for a poker cash out. Ah how soon we forget... just last year their best method would take a week minimum!
