Withdrawal Problems

On 7/7 I requested a withdrawal of $80.08 from Optroom. At the cashier I got a message “Your request has been filed successfully. It will soon be processed by our customer service department.” A day or two later I checked my account and I now had $80.00 and a pending bonus of $40.00. Eight cents had disappeared. On 7/11 Optroom responded to my inquiry.

If they wanted to see the transaction all they had to do was look in the transaction history and in the screen print I had saved and sent to them. OptRoom never responded to my inquiries about my eight cents.
I made another withdrawal of the same $80.00 since they did not have any history of the first one and requested that I make a second one and sent them a screen print so there would be no misunderstanding.
On 7/12 I got a response from my email showing them the second withdrawal.

It is now 7/18 and I still have not gotten my money. Any ideas?

Wingows Withdrawal crap

Since Wingows has moved to another network and I have opened a new account there I decided to close my account at the “old” Wingows. I requested a withdrawal via Epassporte. My first email to them was on 7/6/07 asking why the status of my account had not been changed. This is the series of emails between me and Wingows.

My email:

I just requested a total withdraw of my account balance using epassporte.
Now, I look at my Wingows balance and it hasn't changed. Is there a
problem?


First Note: Wingows response 7/9

Dear James,

please be advised that your withdrawal was approved only it may take another couple of days before it will be processed as currently we are fixing an internal technical issue with ePassporte account.

We are really sorry for the delay and inconveniences that it may have caused you.

Kind regards,

My email:

How much longer is it going to take to process my epassporte withdrawal?


Second Note: Wingows response 7/12

Dear James,

Please be advised that your withdrawal was approved only it is delayed and might take another couple of days before the transfer of funds will be processed. This delay is caused by external circumstances that currently are in the solving process. We are trying to do our best to deliver the funds to our players ASAP.
Wingows withdrawals hardly used to take over 24hrs before the current events and we are trying to do everything it takes to get back to that level and even to improve it. Please accept our apologies for all the inconveniences that might have been caused to you by the delay of transferring funds to your ePassporte account.

Kind regards,
Jana

It is now 7/18 and I still have not gotten my money from Wingows. Apparently, they have been having technical issues with epassporte for at least 12 days. I wonder if I’ll ever get my money. Should I have faith in the “new” Wingows?

G2G Withdrawal crap

G2G notified me they were closing down and moving to another country and asked me to withdraw my money. So I went to their cashier and requested a withdrawal of the $40.00 I had in my account. The withdrawal is to take four or five weeks. This is what they sent me.

If they had bothered to mention this when I was opening an account I would have never opened it. The bank account I asked them to transfer my money to has the same name as the one I used to create my account and my email address is the same one I registered with them. Now they need proof that I am who I say I am. The only proof I needed when I opened the account was a deposit. There is nothing like having to jump through hoops to get your money. I hope they don’t plan on me opening another account with them after they have moved.

Withdrawing always sucks.
