It logically makes sense if people cant get off large balances then these tourneys would increase, just so much mindless plays that now worry me (yes i should be highfiving myself seeing this, just cant shake the lock thought creeping back in)
This has to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on 2+2, no offense.

To answer your question, they desegregated their network and the player pool that was separated is where all the sportsbook fish are, hence the sudden surge in donks.

Everything, it's 1 network again. Happened like 2 weeks ago.

What the hell is goin on on Players Only? They removed the filter tab for cash games, and now I see Carbon pool at the tables. This gives Carbon players an unfair advantage for game selection.

Carbon has asked me to email a copy.
Provide them with the requested documents and a replacement will be sent. This happens in the US market. Sites always replace the checks (sans Lock of course).

Lock is a Ponzi Scheme. Merge is a profitable business. Average check times for US players were 22 days last month, and dropping this month.

The player pools were completely desegregated in the early morning hours of April 9th. What you are seeing is a bunch of low skilled sportsbook and casino players that have joined your player pool. This is something to rejoice about.

All games are 100% shared with the exception of Stud and Draw games which the sportsbooks simply don't offer (only Carbon and Aced offer them).

So all Merge has the same player pool. WHat reason is there to stay on Players Only now. PO has no rewards cashback, and limits to 4 tables.

Can someone living in the U.S. deposit and withdraw from Carbon or Aced using Skrill (moneybookers)? Does Skrill have any use to someone living in the U.S. in regards to any gambling/wagering activities? Thanks.

Couple of questions:

1) What are some reasons a withdrawn check could or would bounce or get rejected by your bank?

2) After a check is deposited in your account, generally by what point can one know that the funds have completely cleared and will stay there?

Update on my bounced check if anyone cares. After wondering what was going on after sending my images of the bounced check in support finally got back to me and said they sent it to their processor for review which was a week ago and haven't got a response since then. Cool, this is fun.

Unfortunately history has shown you must do 2 things, very faithfully:
1. Always be polite with the customer service people you do talk to or communicate with via email. Be clear that you expect things to be resolved and followed up on, but be nice and get their names every time.

2. Constantly update here, every 2 or 3 days. Make sure they know you'll be doing it. Of course it's just to educate us so that potential players can know what to expect This way the community knows what's going on and perhaps can offer some more assistance. At least there will be accountability.

I have read threads from player's who had to fight for several months to get money that was obviously due to them. Just be nice though.

How long does it take to get a check (non express courier)? Sorry if this answered elsewhere recently.

I told them that was impossible.

A few days later I got a letter saying they were closing my account, and that once any items had cleared they would send me a check for the funds. That was 3 months ago, I've talked to their loss prevention department several times and they keep saying I need to bring someone in from the company who wrote the check OR I have to make it so someone answers the phone at the shell company they have set up.

The 1-800 number on the check just goes to voicemail, and they do not return calls. I have talked with sportsbook several times and they say they refuse to talk to 3rd parties, and they see the check has cleared, so they've washed their hands of it.

So Ace bank gets to keep my 2k. Pretty good racket.

The new one at my other bank, I noticed online that they had debited the amount and hit me with some fees, received a letter saying that the check was not being accepted, it is stamped "Refer to Maker" not "NSF". Doesn't look like they're going to close that account.

Still, I don't understand why these checks are causing all these issues all of a sudden, especially if they're not actually bouncing. Unless my name is on a bad check list now or something.

I was told by a teller today: "I am almost 100% sure this check is fraudulent". The check is being held (at a branch of the same bank that issued the check, in the US) until they can prove its legitmate. Cashed out 1500$ 2 weeks ago. Received from a bank in Ontario, Canada 2 days ago. They wanted the slip too but I needed proof so I refused and told them they can make copies of the check if they need to, but I need records to protect myself. Don't like this one bit. Will keep you posted.

dunno if its the same for the rest of u guys but some of these checks are NOT canadian, mine shows a canadian address but at the top if it says "payable through **** agent in NEW YORK" then you're good and it clears the next day.

there was some confusion when i got my 1st check a while back, they thought it was canadian so they wanted to put a 45 day hold on it until i realised it was a US check.
