I'm afraid it's not going to be of much use to you as I'm in the UK, but I just w/d $1k to neteller and it took just 3 days. I'd be interested to hear how that compares with US, although of course there won't be a e-wallet comparison.

In bad shape at the moment, have been taking on average 2.5 months to get money for US Players. (some over 3 months) At the current time there is no indication times are improving, although Carbon Reps say the times will eventually get back to 1 month as they were beginning of the year.

Yes, it appears that the cash-out timeframe has moved from 2 1/2 months to 2 months and change for US Players.

Still horrible and I could no longer recommend anyone actually make a deposit there any longer based on everything that has gone on (including the stopping of P2P Transfers some time ago)

They have definitely improved. On 2p2, some players are getting their checks in less than 2 weeks. There are even some people who got a check in less than a week.

Yeah, they had been hitting as high as 2 1/2 months, then been coming down just in the last 30 days or so to about 6 weeks, then poof, all of a sudden in last 10 days or so people are reporting 2 weeks or less. Will have to see if this holds. Nice to hear though.

The question is it worth playing there? Dealing with a long pay out is terrible.

question here from non american, how do these checks work with cashing out at bank is it simple to cash it or do you have to explain to them this is from gambling or what not? don't get why a check would work and not a wire transfer? if so why can't pokerstars or a big site be in the usa and just offer only withdrawal via check?

I deposited through my bank (Bank of America - really big bank in the states) straight to my bank account. I wanted to deposit it through the ATM, but it wouldn't let me, because it was an international check (From canada). I just got off of work, so I was still in some nice work pants and a tie, but no jacket. The lady clerk didn't give me any questions about it, so either they weren't concerned with it or I'm just that stunning to look at in conversation (I bet the latter). :D

I have seen reports that some smaller banks in the US have given players some trouble which include extremely long, unreasonable holds on the funds deposited (just saw a report that a bank put hold on til end of the year).

Even in some larger banks there is a intermittent problem that the staff asks where the money is coming from, and some people have been asked to close accounts due to money coming from gambling sources. If this does happen to you, DO NOT become smart mouthed, or disrespectful, or spout about your rights, because you can be put in a bad position by the bank, including being secretly reported to Treasury Authorities for suspicious monetary activity. Best thing is to always keep your cool.

seriously? why would the banks not accept it? suspicious monetary activity really? sounds like the usa is becoming more and more like a totalitarian state, not to say my country is better than usa its not lithuania is very poor, without class and people here are rude and not nice like in usa, still im glad i live in eu and have the freedom to move to anywhere in the eu! i hope usa changes im optimistic but the people are being fed lies and manipulated daily, greed truly does destroy people

I live in the states, but use TD Bank, a bank with headquarters in Canada. I never used to have an issue, but have not taken money offline in some time.
