Party Poker Withdrawal

So I cash for $20 in the cc freeroll today on PP, and I want to get $10 off cause I want to put it on stars, not only is there a 3 percent fee for withdrawal but also I did a withdrawal through neteller and It says it can take up to 3 days to get reviewed!!! are you kidding me PP, Full Tilt the withdrawals get accepted in like 30 minutes, shame on PP they are really heading nowhere with there bad software and lame promotions, will it really take 3 days or is it faster?

Sounds like this is your first withdrawal off of partypoker.
3days is nothing to be honest & is totally standard for most sites when making your first withdrawal (most take at least 4days).
Subsequent withdrawals should take 24-72hrs. (using skrill which I imagine would be quite similiar). fwiw, my experience with PartyPoker is that it has been one of the fastest & most reliable for withdrawals.

Some sites will also require you to have previously made a deposit (with same method as you're hoping to wd with) so if you haven't & they're telling you 3days for a WD, I think you're doing pretty good.

Not my first but I don't play there often and the withdrawal process are part of why, 3 days is terrible for withdrawals, i have made deposit there with visa, and neteller in the past, i withdrew via neteller and it ended up taking about 3 days, that's a joke cause on full tilt the withdrawal takes usually no more than an hour via neteller and they don't have a fee for doing so, and the only other site that is as bad with withdrawals that i would even consider playing on is 888, which does very unethical practices such as taking money off your withdrawal and also deposit by using euro exchange rates with a usd wallet, guess the only thing I can do is continue to not play there it's not like the tourneys or games they offer are any softer and the software is shaky at best, as for 888 they have some very soft games so they are still a playable site in my view

Thank you for info - was thinking about depositing and playing there but after what you wrote - I lost interest. Thank you once more for this feed of information... 3 days wow too long.

I dont myself recommend bwin.com - two years ago I played there - not only that the game itself was not good there but also they promised deposit bonus and you had no chance to aquire it... I left after few months there..

3 days to withdraw isnt terrible at all, you will find most sites take that long. I play at 888 and it takes them nearly a week to pay money into my Neteller account which I agree is way too long.
Although 3 days isnt terrible ev ery withdrawal to my Neteller from Stars has gone in within 5 mins, 10 at tops and if they can do it why cant others?
It does always take long for your first withdrawal from any site and from my experience Party are one of the best but Stars cant be beat, pity I cant win on there
In my experience you are lucky to get a payment from FT in 30 mins, always takes them a couple of days with me.

my expectations of withdrawals/deposits are on stars/ftp standards full tilt has spoiled me, the withdrawals there are so fast it's mind boggling, p.s. you can always win on stars, as long as you dedicate yourself to your skills and mindset and play for the long run frankly you can win on any site if you are a good player

If it wasn't your first withdrawal off PartyPoker & you've experienced 3day waits in the past as well.... then why did you start up this thread? I mean it sounded like you were all surprised about it. quote > "Will it really take 3 days or is it faster?"
Personally, waiting 3days for a withdrawal would never deter me from playing on a site especially when I know their support is excellent & they always come through.

no it's not going to deter me but it was surprising to be honest cause many sites give instant withdrawals through neteller etc. i do not enjoy sites having deposits fast but withdrawals difficult plus the fee to withdraw ticks me off, but hey i might still be willing to build a roll on party with cc freeroll money winnings i do fairly well on the party freerolls, i also started the thread to see what feedback other people would give or explain why the reason is for the fees and longer withdrawals or any other additional information regarding withdrawals and or deposits on pp

Yah. Totally agree on the '3% fee' being completely ridiculous. They do seem to do things on Party to drive customers away instead of vice versa. (ie. the big build-up to the software upgrade... & then having it really be nothing different than before. If anything it made it much worse (as far as glitches & disconnects go. It's a huge fail imo).

I've WD & DEP on Party maybe a dozen times (maybe more?) & today when I went to WD a thing pops up on the screen telling me I need to send in Gov't. documents to verify my account info. Seems odd that they're now requesting this after having made numerous transactions over the past couple years on there. (I just ignored it & proceeded with my WD & it seems to have gone through).
We'll see how long it takes. (my guess is < 48hrs.)

Fees are usually charged by the payment providers. I always choose the withdrawal method without any fees.

Pretty sure this is a newly instated thing by PartyPoker > 3% fee no matter what method (as far as I know.. but could be wrong)

On partypoker, looks like there is no fees on 4 methods (electronic transfer, instadebit, click & buy, and goplay MC). Others have $2.52, $10, $50, and 3%.

The quickest withdrawal is listed at 15 minutes (goplay mastercard)

Well the two withdrawal's I use are visa or neteller which is not available for
canada I believe both have fees that are the same even though a fee to withdraw via Neteller is unheard of for me on any other sites especially a blatant fee and not hidden like 888 which in some ways is worse than PP's methods, I would use a bank transfer but that would take a while, and not to go on trying to compare it to FTP but there bank transfer's go through within 24hrs, Also relating to the withdrawal's they now added a send documents to make withdrawal's faster which I considered weird since pre-software update I had sent in all necessary documents but I was like hey whatever I will send my passport photo again if it will make withdrawal's easier I would of rather preferred PP focused more on making the site have less rake, easier withdrawal's better tourney's better rewards but they switched to a more gimmicky site with missions to accomplish to get into freerolls unfortunately

The 3% of fee it's new to me and not surprised me since PP is getting each day worse. I can't say anything bad about their withdrawal time because everytime I did one it only took a couple of hours maximum, they only say that can take a couple of days but never does. Of course that no one beats PS/FT withdrawls, it should exist more poker rooms like these ones.

It took 18hrs. A bit faster than usual (maybe that's what I get for my 3% fee, lol)
