Cake Poker Withdrawal Problem!

Do not deposit to Cake Poker... you will never see it ever again !
been a month and still waiting for a withdrawl, they cannot even guarantee that I will receive it in 2011 due to technical issues.

My big grip with Cake is the $500 min to cash out. They don't tell you that when they take your $50 deposit. As soon as I get it to 500 (or lose it all), I am through with Cake

Are you serious that they say they can't guarantee that they are going to pay you in 2011? That's ridiculous if they don't pay you in this year.
I don't know if you are an US player or not, I'm not from US and, for what I know, the cash outs on Cake Poker are taking around 3-4 weeks to be processed. At least for the non US players.

Yep, they don't tell about the minimum cash out, $500 as a minimum value is an absurd, at least for me.
I think the best thing you can do is find a friend non-US to make a transfer and asks him to cash out. I know that for non-US players the minimum cash out is $50.

Player-to-player transfer is the best way to cashout of Cake for small / micro stakes players. Unfortunately, you usually have to take quite a hit on the vig. Cake $ is not worth that much these days, I'm seeing it go for .65-.80 / $1. I sold my balance for ~ 70 cents on the dollar about a month ago just so I could be done with Cake and move on to another skin.

Cake = Criminals!!!!

When I deposited my $50 they never told me that I would have to wait 4-6 weeks for my transaction. I am not a US customer so I expected it to take what they told me when I cashed out which was 1-2 days for it to go to Moneybookers.com.

DO NOT USE CAKE POKER!!!!!!!!!!!

CAKE POKER IS A RIP OFF!!!!!!!

By the way, if anyone wants to buy the $1500 I'm trying to cash out I will happily take 75 cents on the dollar. Since I'm locked out of my account now I'm not exactly sure how I can do this though. Apparently my 38 emails to them about my cashout has annoyed them enough to lock my account.

CAKE POKER IS THE SHITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the updates. Keep them coming for all of us that are hoping to get our money off Cake and other sites.

i cashed out 1600 since may, and the amount still looks pending, i am a us player, they tell me they can't tell me when i can get my money, i think they are going to default at one point because the payment times are getting longer and longer, so watch out and i'll keep you updated.

Go their Facebook page and blast them over and over. Some other guy made a post saying he successfully made a withdrawal after waiting 6 weeks just by rioting on their FB page.

Am getting the same bullshit answers from them myself.
"Cash out backlogs","Cashier Problems","Technical issues"
One excuse after another.
They will not even tell me when my cash out request will / might be processed.
Other sites can process cash out's to a Neteller account between 24 to 48 hours,so there is no reason why Cakepoker can't!
Unless they are struggling to find the funds.
I know of other players who have been waiting since the end of May for there cash out to be processed.
This does not look good for players hoping to get their money out of Cakepoker.
Time to go to other forums and warn any other potential players thinking about depositing on Cakepoker,not to do so.
Bunch of shysters!!

lol withdrawalaments

I have been reading on other poker forums,that some players have been slowly getting paid out,albeit after a very lengthy wait of 8 to 12 weeks.
This is a disgustingly,pathetic amount of time to have to wait for a cheque,even more so for an e-transfer.
Still getting the some old excuses.
I suggested they take a laxative,as this usually helps to clear back-logs.
Will prob have to wait an extra couple of weeks for that comment.

i have a pending cashout, i got a polite email today so im hoping its cashed out soon, lets hope for the best.

This Cake is starting to taste very bad!

Thought I better come back here and let people know that my cash out has just been approved.
It took a total of 26 days for an e-wallet withdrawal request to finally clear,
Although I am very relieved to have got this money out at last,I do think that Cakepoker should not be advertising,that their cash outs to an e-wallet only takes 24-48 hours to clear,or 3-4 weeks for cheques to clear.
To all the rest of you who are waiting for a cash out to clear,just keep being patient,it looks like you will eventually get your dosh.

Ive been waiting over a month myself,
will let you know when- if ever transfered

There are some Cake Skins that process their own Deposits/Withdraws and are much faster and much more reliable. If you want to play on the Cake Network, I would recommend avoiding the Cake Poker Skin and joining another skin on the Cake Network that processes their own Cashouts.

They also have different limits available for Cashouts, yet you can still get the same RakeBack %, Bonus offer, same player pool, Gold Cards/Gold Chips, etc.....

I've been waiting for 6 weeks. It's amazning how fast they respond to my numerous inquirees regarding the delay. After Black Friday, Cake seemed to be my best option. Now what?

No way. I wouldn't play anywhere where I have to wait nearly that long for a cashout. These are your best bets, IMO:

Bodog
Merge -- Lock, RPM (supposedly coming back to new US players soon)
Everleaf -- Minted
Yatahay -- True, Doyles
Cake -- Intertops, PPN (not a skin that uses the Cake cashier)

I requested my withdrawal by check (US Player) on June 24th. Friday was officially 8 weeks. I have been in constant communication with Cake. SO far the only good thing is they are not dodging my emails. But I keep getting the same email response, "withdrawal backlog, no immediate ETA, etc, blah, blah blah.

I will post when I finally get my check, whenever that may be.

If only people researched the internet or forum before depositing.

I did make a thread regarding cake and their very slow / next to none withdrawal process. They are good at replying to emails, that's about it,

It took 3months for me to receive my payment and that was less than $100.00..with the same excuses as above (and many more) It all boils down to them being quite broke, none of what they said. I DID receive my monies like stated, but it was a very long drawn out process..

I have decided to never, ever play at cake again. The only poker sites I'm comfortable with are pokerstars and Betfair.

Advice: AVOID.

HaHA are you for real?? Is this what the minimum is now? It used to be $50.00....

The obvious thing that is happening here is that they don't want to payout to people who have gained a free capital through these poker websites ($50.00 free capital" etc..then withdrawing it.

.

I know it's a pain in the arse mate,but it's best to just let them get on with it,in their own time.By bombarding them with emails every now and then,they might just put you back to the end of the list.
Bide your time, and i'm sure you will get your cash......sometime!

Agree. I've made multiple posts that Cake has extremely slow Cashouts. If players are going to play on the Cake Network use a skin that processes their own Cashouts because they will be much faster.

Personally, I would go with another Network and skin that is processing Cashouts much quicker. There are still options for US players to receive fast Cashouts and even more options for non-US players.

Cashout still pending since May. Loosing hope, US player

just got my money from them

was just about to try another useless email too lol
musta been 6-8 weeks, but it worked via moneybookers
didnt really want to redeposit, but giving a few of their dollars back to play the CC buyins is worth it for me,
so will see whatever ones of you there that are still playing there!

After over 7 weeks, just received an e-mail from Cake that my cashout has been processed. Wonder how long it will be before I receive the check.

Are you a US player? And did you process it as a check request?

Yes- US Player-Just received notice that attempted devlivery of a package was made.

The really sad part about this there is no where for US players to complain to, and these sites no this, I think if we could perform a sit out and let them see that they just can't push us around maybe they would stop avoiding us and do whats right. If the are broke then they should man up, close shop an move on. After reading this I am concerned that this may effect the entire network, I am playing at Colt - Cake Skin and have not seen much talk about this site, but now I will have to go an investigate to see what cash out policies are again..

This is Colts Processing instructions, per their website (The is a discrepancy, that I just notice - web site says one thing and cashier window says something totally different)
Withdrawing Funds
While the game of poker is incredibly fun, we get that at the end of the day it’s a game about money; which is why we consider fast and secure withdrawals to be of the utmost importance.

For the most part, the method you funded your Colt Account by, will determine your withdrawal options. Most e-wallets will permit you the added convenience of cashouts within 48 hours.
If you’ve funded your account by Credit Card

Withdrawals can be issued via check or the e-wallet solution of your choice. Checks are generally delivered within 10 to 15 business days and cashouts to e-wallets are typically completed in 24-48 hours.

Please note that our Cashier Team will require identification and proof of ownership of the credit/debit card used to fund your account in order to process a check to you. Checks will be issued to the address on record at the time each cash out is processed and a correct phone number must be associated with your account for all courier deliveries.
All customers are entitled to one FREE check withdrawal per calendar month. All subsequent checks requested within the calendar month will carry a $35 fee which will be deducted from the amount requested.
Check Withdrawal Details

• Min per check: $500
• Max per check: $3,000
• Fees: $35 *see note above

If you’ve funded your account by an E-Wallet Solution

While no fees are charged by Colt on your e-wallet solution cashouts, we suggest contacting your processor directly regarding any associated fees on their end.
E-Wallet Withdrawal Details

• Min Cashout Allowed: $50
• Max Cashout Allowed: Will vary depending on e-wallet solution.
• Fees: Check with your e-wallet solution directly.

Now here is what the cashier window says: Verbatim
"The minimum cash out amount is $50 US. Allow 48 hours from your last deposit before requesting to withdraw funds."
Then it goes on to talk about verification and how long you have to provide your documents.

So as you can see there is a bit of a difference of what their policy is. Colt is a Cake Skin.

I recieved my check today. It was exactly 3 months and 6 days since the process started. They came through. Doesn't mean I will be playing on Cake anytime soon but at least I got my withdrawal.

This at least gives me some hope. I asked for a withdrawal on the 30th of August and the long wait is just beginning.
