Very few posts about cash outs received this week. Hoping this isn't the start of lengthy cash out periods again due to the Super Bowl.

Yeah, hope that isn't the case. My last few btc withdraws were 1 week or less, but this one is a couple days beyond that now, and I don't think I've ever seen them process anything on the weekend.

Still, compared to the month long waits of the past year, it certainly isn't time to panic yet. Or we can put on our conspiracy hats and figure that the recent cashout improvements were all a ploy to encourage depositors, then run away with the maximum amount of money possible after the Super Bowl.

No panic. Just an observation. Approaching my 5th year on site, so have seen the ebb and flow of cash out tides. I'm one of those "They have always paid" so-called Merge defenders. So no panic.

Yeah, didn't mean to imply that you were panicking, just saying we've got a ways to go from how bad it was before.

Though personally, I won't feel 100% confidence that the rest of my money will money will be paid out until I see the last withdrawal hit my wallet.

I'm praying Denver wins the Superbowl so all of us poker players that were banned can get our cash outs quicker. 75% of people are taking the Panthers, So if Carolina wins, it means Carbon is going to have to pay out a ton of sports bettors clogging up requests for withdraws. I would think additional wait times since Carbon would loose a ton of money on this game are realistic too.

Once your banned in most cases they send out 20k per week till your account is empty, have seen it with several players, well every player that's been banned. and its been a bunch recently.

Not me, after several emails back and forth, I am a US player actually was restricted to 1 table. Might as well banned me, but then they might have to pay me off faster. Bullocks

anyone else get free money from Carbon? every couple months they send me free money to use in the Casino. Presumably they think I will deposit from gambling in the casino.

Like $5 or a significant amount?

They sent me a trivial amount before, but I figured it wasn't worth a free $5 to find out 3 months later I accidentally broke some random casino promotion term I didn't notice, then have them claim thousands of $ in possible future poker winnings came from whatever I won from that $5 and take them away.

Probably less than 1% chance of it happening, but you've gotta be careful with the terms of online casino bonuses. As a poker player you pretty much never have to read any terms. But if you play with casino bonuses, you either need to stick to really trustworthy sites and/or have a lawyer's dedication to details.

It is actually always exactly 7 dollars. IDK why.

This wire was processed today

Max Wire Requested 2-8

Max check withdrawal

Requested: 1/11/16

In Progress: 2/8/16

It says that the check will only clear if deposited directly through a teller in the message I received today. Is this true? Because I was going to deposit it at an ATM to avoid questions from a teller about why I'm receiving a foreign check. Has anyone ever deposited a check from carbon successfully though an ATM?

Wire processed today 02/08/16.

New max wire requested today.

Vegas made a killing on the Superbowl, so Carbon should have too. No using that excuse this year...

wire requested 1/14

processed 2/8

requesting btc withdrawal via email before i make my next request

without having to backtrack a couple pages - btc withdraws are taking how long and is btc withdraw enabled after depoing a number of times?

btc appears to be the fastest however noone knows the process of how to get it or keep it

emailing asking for it seems to help, ill let you know how it goes

new to this thread..
i live in TX. never did BTC, so can't help there. always VISA deposits.
requested: $1k
check request: 2/4/16
"pending" to "in progress": 2/6/16
message saying processed: today (2/8/16)
no mention of a timetable. will update thread when I get the check.

any US players have issues depositing checks? specifically wells fargo. I was told to go to a teller, not the ATM. I've never had issues in the past, but lately I've heard about banks putting long holds on the checks because they're from canada and/or foreign.

has anyone tried and succeeded/failed in the last few months?

u guessed right on the teller questioning u. some say they don't ask anything. if they do, obviously don't say it's from gambling. some ppl said 1 day hold. some have said multiple weeks (which is hard to imagine).

***I've heard a few different people saying the check was returned when depositing through the ATM. go to the teller and be prepared to make something up.

good luck and keep us posted!

Just received a BTC withdrawal today, took 10 days. However, when it comes to Carbon withdrawals, the past doesn't reliably predict the future.

No one other than Carbon knows the answer to your second question, and they aren't really telling. One or two people reported on here receiving the withdrawal option after making Bitcoin deposits, you'll have to not be lazy and look for yourself for more details.


Unfortunately, I can confirm what some others have said:
They are now charging 5% fees on Bitcoin withdrawals. So what should be by far the cheapest withdrawal option for them is being charged the highest fee. So I guess I just lost about $3k without playing a single hand. Thanks, Carbon.

Recommended/encouraged not to mention bank names. Have been depositing via teller for 6 years w/o incident. Checks have always been in U.S. funds, therefore, have never been sent to collections. It helps that I use a major/national bank familiar with international checks. Occasionally, will be serviced by an inexperienced teller not familiar with said checks. A senior teller or supervisor has always helped with the processing. Though last month the Supervisor needed to make a phone call to refresh himself with foreign check deposits. Have never been asked about source of checks. Hope this helps somewhat.

Somehow you consistently get faster cashout times than I do when I request on the same day with the same method. Please teach me.

I'll be sure not to mention specific names going forward. Thanks for the heads up. Good to hear u haven't had much trouble. Thanks for the reply!
