I believe he said he has been busy and will get around to it

my 10/15 BTC withdrawal was moved into in progress will post when its in my blockchain

new BTC requested 11/9

Yes I've personally had 2 successful bitcoin withdrawals and loads of other players have withdrawn with this method. However it kind of appears the cashout times for this have become like the old check wait times. Soon it will take 4 months because of bitcoin processor issues.

money has been moved through blockchain and circle and is quoted as 1-4 days to go from circle to my bank

Glad to see BTC payouts are still being processed. I was extremely happy to receive that option. One thing I think might help them process payouts via BTC faster is now allowing BTC deposits. That way they will have the coin in their wallet and not have to purchase it from processors like Circle/Coinbase and wait for it to clear. My $0.02.

On Sep 15 I started a $300 cashout. A few days later, I saw something on this thread about BTC cashouts being an option. So I emailed support, and said ~ "well I heard you're doing bitcoins now. Since my last cashout took 4 months, I'd be super happy to try BTC." They responded that I didn't have that option. About a week later, though, they'd added it for me.

Suddenly I realized that all the BTC transactions I'd ever done were to an from poker sites, and selling chips for amazon credits and suchlike. So I took a couple weeks to do research on who I wanted to connect to my bank account. On 10/15 I cancelled the w/d request, and initiated a similar amount in bitcoin. That transaction is completed today, 11/9. And I don't know if it's their general policy, but the $309 I requested (expecting a round $300) is being reported as > $310 worth in BTC by my e-wallet.

On 10/5 the price of BTC was around $250 per BTC, now the price is around $370. When you submit a request they must calculate BTC to $ at that time and lock in that number, which almost every place does. BTC fluctutates and in this case it cost Merge but it works the other way as well. They are shooting themselves in the foot by not processing BTC withdrawals promplty because of how instable the currency can be.

P.S. Just a friendly reminder, if you use a service like Coinbase or Circle be sure to have the BTC sent to an intermediate wallet before Circle or Coinbase as they will flag them as coins from gambling enterprises. Lots of people use Blockchain.

BTC Withdrawal

Req: 10/16

Rec'ed in my BChain wallet: 11/9

BTC requested 10/15... Carbon removed btc option and I had to change to bank wire 10/30... sent emails to carbon 11/5. received reply 11/6 saying "as far as they knew btc removed from customers"... sent email to antigua and carbon 11/9... processed ?

Are you sure they don't just use the rate at the instant they actually process it? It should be pretty easy for people to confirm if they're getting 50% more than the dollar value they cashed out. (Or other #'s depending on the date requested and date processed)

Sounds unlikely to me, and would result in a lot of pissed off customers if the other side of variance had hit, so it would be a very poor way to do things.

Though if what you said were true, it would explain why so many BTC withdrawals were cancelled and removed by Carbon. (That they were freerolling people on bitcoin exchange variance, and since it went up, cashouts were cancelled.)

No I'm not sure. I just know with services like Circle and Coinbase, whenever I buy/add BTC, I know exactly the amount of BTC I will receive, right then, it's locked. Sometimes if a funding source like a bank account takes a couple days to process, that x amount of BTC will be more or less than the dollar amount I was charged due to fluctuations.

BTC should be Merge's best friend in these days of having to deal with sketchy non-US processors for checks/wires. The cost for them to pay via BTC is only roughly 0.0002 BTC per transaction. Like I said earlier, hopefully lots of people get the BTC deposit method and USE IT. I'm sure when they are buying BTC to payout customers they are having to wait some period of time for it. If lots of people deposit, they will have a fat wallet and be able to payout very quickly, thus reducing risk of large fluctuations. Whether they do or not is a different story all together.

LOL Try over 14 and still waiting !!!

Trying complaining to Merge and maybe Antigua (sp).

Damn.

I should add that that month to complete the transaction was longer than it might have been. I dunno if I missed an instruction somewhere, or they just expected me to intuit something I couldn't, but I didn't provide all the necessary information. There wasn't any immediately apparent way to put the receipt addy on the w/d form. I was supposed to put the addy in some special instructions box, which I didn't do. So it took them about a week for them to contact me about it, and for us to email-tag each other until I'd sent them the addy.

They finally gave me the "activity and caliber of play" email after I asked. Guess I should be honored. This is all after they restricted me to 1 table, then capitulated and let me play 4, then realized their terrible mistake that someone might actually win money playing poker from time to time. Well the uninstaller works I rate them 8/8.

I just got banned too for play not conducive to this site too. I played like 4 or 5 tourneys a day max and buyins totaling less than $100 daily. WTF?! FML!

Still no word. Just sent five emails to them. Isn't there a commission of some sort that I can email about Carbon refusing to payout my money to me?
