What is the best place for US players?

I've been reading stories about payout problems.

My friend has been playing Bovada for quite some time. I used to play them when they were bodog.

But I have been out of the game for a long time.

I don't mind waiting 2-3 weeks if I know the money will come. I don't plan on making this my main source of income.

I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks guys.

BTW I'm trying to decide whether to use by normal debit card (bank account) or buy a netspend card. If someone could help with that that would be great.

Thanks again.

Hey nick. I have read bovada is A nice place for withdraws.
I just made my first withdraw from them and has been about two weeks and im still waiting,but it is on the way.
They were very friendly in assisting me with help on withdrawing from there as well.
I would just use a standard bank visa debit card and avoid the trouble of the prepaid visa cards because the temporary ones do not work,and you have to wait on the permanent one to get there to be approved for international orders.

Right now I like America's cardroom and carbon. juicy stakes isn't bad either.

carbon, juicestacked, and bovoda, are three main skins for US players.

I would recommend Carbon just from my experience. Carbon Poker are currently the largest online poker site accepting US players. They are the biggest site on the Merge Poker Network, a group of brands who share a common software back-end and pool together their players to offer more games and tournaments. Carbon is by far the best US-friendly poker site.

I love to play cash games on Betonline and tourneys on ACR.

Can I load Carbon using my normal bank debit card?

also how is Carbon with payouts? Compared to Bovada.

Juicy Stakes has a roughly 3.5-5.5 month cashout time for US players via check. I would recommend to avoid them. Other 2 are just fine.

Is it cleared for International transactions? If so, possibly it will work... no guarantees though. WU always works for deposits though

Bovada is faster at under 3 weeks the last month or two. Bovada can queue checks and they come just over a week apart after the initial wait for the first check.

Carbon is 3-6 weeks with average approx 4 weeks right now for initial checks (2500 max). Multiple checks can be queued up though and subsequent checks come 10-14 days apart.

Bovada is great with getting their payouts to their customers.

Thank you everybody

i heard carbon took a long time with payouts.....ive cashed out bovada a few times and they are good. they had issues last year but they used to be by far the best option for payouts. now it is like a week or 2 wait. i wouldnt use a debit card though. U will then have to fill out the additional info and fax everything. netspend will never fail. its what i use

Carbon had issues at some point last year also. They've been steadily improving. Now much larger amounts can be moved offsite with the check queue system.

Bovoda is one of very famous place in US. But i will give you a personal suggestion you can also play. Its my personal experience online play online.
