You cash out to a Bitcoin wallet, then from there transfer to your bank. It's super easy to figure out and by far the easiest way to move money online these days, especially for Americans.

So why do you cashout in bitcoins? So you can deposit again in the poker site?!

ATM's at the moment are not good. For all I have read they are slow and the transaction fees are a joke. (also, I am pretty sure my country doesn't have them).

Yep, I will get them into my bank, I guess so...the thing is we use crypto (also) for anonymous purposes but once we transfer them to a bank we are clearly leaving a path behind...

Anyway, enough of deviating from the post subject (I know there is a made expression out there for this, but I can't remember lol), thanks for your help.

The ewallet I withdraw into has a feature of a card that you get in the mail. You can use that card anywhere as a debit card and it just deducts it at no charge. I can also use the card at an atm and take out $700 at a time, for a $2 fee, with a $3,000 limit per day. It's been an awesome decision to go this way. No trail, no waiting. Cash in hand the same day as my withdrawal from the poker site.

I use it because it's my only option, really. Here, I guess I could use Moneygram/Western Union/Ria but the last time I tried that, it took forever to finally not end up working and I got refunded. On Ignition, where I also play a bunch, it's literally my only option. I normally get cash in my bank in 2-3 days with pretty much every cashout.

ACR had problems with lagging and crashing long before DDOS was "a thing." I was posting about it in 2010, maybe even earlier, I'm not sure. I have no idea how to look up a post that old.

Same problem, different year. It's always been that way.

getting a little to the topic, cashout on ACR it has been for me another nightmare. I mean,they always pay and I never had to wait a long time, but last times something incredible happened:

One cashout was cancelled. I was told skrill was not working any more in my country (lies, but I assume it may have been just a problem of communication )and i had to use other option.
I have tried another option and then got another denial by email, reason being "you have to use the same option you used have for your last deposit."
Well, the last deposit had been my made using Neteller (I was playing for a team and being staked) and this was their method. This is understandable, other sites require the same, but the stupid part is: I DID USE NETELLER this time. LOL! And then, I went to talk to them on live chat and they say I can't (I was so pissed with them you can't imagine) use NETELLER!!! wtf !? ahaha!

They advised ECOPAYZ. I like it, I open an account, I request a physical card. After that I have made to withdrawals with no problem. This week a new cashout was denial, reason being "you have to use the same option you used have for your last deposit".

Man, I wanted to slap them.

I was so pissed that I demanded several times for them to call me.
The good part: they did.

While I am waiting for a Neteller card and after the cashout was successful, I have came to some conclusions about acr poker...

Very shady (you can laugh because this is probably not news). The guy was telling me by phone, "we want to help you. We want to do what we can for you to play. And some countries are harder than others. If the system says you can't use skrill now, you have to try another"

They have no clue about what is going on there. They just read the "status" of the system...and it makes me wander if this continuous changing payment process is not some kind of a scheme to go around some laws and/or taxes.

Still getting the configured... you are using an old version of the software. Also had the illegal operation message right after it many times. How do some of you even log in etc then whereas others like me have this message?


Also has wpn ever had this happen for this long ever? I know they had lot of disconnections and lags etc but has they ever been down for this long? Because this is getting ridiculous.

Uh, never in the history of the world has anything been so obviously true.

Perhaps they're changing the doom switch algorithm. I'm all-in equity adjusted positive 1 BI for the day, but actually down 8.5 BI instead. F these F'ing F'ers.

I'll be one of the first back in when it comes up because i'm a degenerate.

are you on bcp or acr? im on bcp. I could not even get to the login screen even once yet ever since this happened. I got message of the error report and/or you are using old version of software. Then sometimes i get that message after i close it that you performed an illegal operation etc. So im curious is there anyone here that could not even get to the login page as me?

Just an hour ago everything froze, some regs saying that's 3 days on the run. All running tourneys closed and paid largely entry money back. Site reset, registered for $100 turbo showing minimum 6 entries, 3 minutes before start with 7 people registered, just disappeared. No explanation offered. FTS.

They explained that yesterday was a DDOS attack, they posted it on twitter. There is talk on 2+2 about Merge I think it was possibly having a DDOS attack yesterday as well as they were having trouble too.

It substitutes for both. It goes ACR>>Bitpay Ewallet>>BitpayCard. Then i can use that either at ATMs or as a debit card for purchases. There is a transaction fee from the Ewallet to the Bitpaycard just like going from Blockchain to Coinbase, but it's pretty minimal.
