I thought about making regular withdrawals at Carbon. My plan was to try to withdraw and build my stack at the same time. I thought I'd establish a base of say $500. At the end of the month, I'd withdraw half of the excess and leave half in to grow the stack. So if I'm at $800, I withdraw $150. When I get up to $1000 BR, I move up in limits and do the same with $1000 as the new base.

The problem is, Carbon's withdrawal rules don't lend themselves to frequent small withdrawals. They charge $15 per withdrawal. That's a little skanky if you ask me, charging me to send me my own money. And for smaller withdrawals, that's a pretty big vig. Fifteen percent on a hundred dollars is outrageous.

So maybe the best plan is to switch sites. I like the freerolls at Carbon, but others must have good ones too. I know bodog has one free withdrawal per month. They are improving their times. My last withdrawal there took nine business days. Which sites have the easiest and cheapest withdrawals? In the US, I'm pretty sure everybody sends a check. Are there other cheaper ways?

Thanks,
Gary

My original deposit on Carbon was through ewallet express, and my only withdrawal was to my ewallet express account. they did not charge a withdrawal fee (I know ewallet charged something can't remember what when they sent it to me). Might be an option and then again it might not depending on the ewallet fee. Withdrawal was quick....like within 24 hours I think.

Use ewallet its free and other sites( cept tilt/stars ) accept it. They dont charge as much for withdraw. Ewallet direct withdraw is outrageous as well. I believe its 10 %. So, find a site that procees money cheaply. BoDog is free but it takes a month literally to get check. UB/ is $8 cannot remember any others.. Good Luck!

Bodog is actually improving. My last check was 9 business days - about two weeks.

Well it looks like at least for the cheapest way to go if you dont mind BoDogs wait would be to set up a ewallet express account(free) you can deposit on Carbon, UB, Doyles Absoulute, BoDog and others...all free to deposit and withdraw back to ewallet....Simply deposit onto BoDog and request one of thier checks ( I believe BoDog doesnt charge for first one in a month)...But I have not cashed out of BoDog in 6-7 months and it took 30 days to recieve in California where processors were at the time.

The best option I have had for a withdrawl out of the US is from FullTilt. They have/had a Moneygram option and it only took 3 days. I went to the closest Wal-Mart and picked up my cash.

My bankroll on Carbon has been all built from freerolls. I didn't like paying $15.00 to get a check, but when I thought about it I didn't put anything into it so wtf.

I requested a withdrawal three days ago. It's still "pending approval." Then I'm told it will be 2-3 weeks after that. Pretty much sucks, especially with the $15 charge.

Not sure if there are any ewallets in use in the US, but I have never been charged by a site for making a withdrawal. The one time I made a withdrawal from my ewallet was the 1st time, but it did pay for my Vegas trip.

yea bodog is way quicker for now , I got mine very quick from fed-ex out of canada . was wondering what other sites excepted ewallet , thanks for the 411 . I deposited at carbon thru ewallet and withdrew without charges but haven't tried to get it from them . now I can deposit it at bodog or ub and get paid with no charge. :D
