Withdrawal Issues

There has to be something we as US Players can do to make these sites realize that we just won't lay down. Stop depositing, only play freerolls, slow the traffic down, maybe if they don't have any deposits to process they can concentrate on getting our withdrawals process. Carbon has been shooting me the same song and dance for over a month now and I have refused to redeposit or cancel my withdrawal to play, I will boycott this site until they get their act together and realize that they need us (US Players). Without us they have no business. These sites are only getting the traffic becuz of Black Friday. Maybe we should have a SITOUT DAY. No one plays for an entire 24 hr period.

I don't think Carbon is doing it on purpose, they may be having a hard time processing your request due to our legal issues.
How did you request payment?

I have provided everything they need, I have numerous emails stating one reason or the next for the delay, my point is, foreigners do not have to wait as long for thier withdrawals due to thier laws where as US players have to wait weeks on end because of their processes. My other point is, it should not take this long to process checks, the verification process is not that complicated and to send a check is not that complicated. I think they have a 2 man operation and the US is on the bottom of the totem pole to get done, or the funds are not readily available and they have to wait to acquire the funds that everyone is requesting. I don't know all I do know that before Black Friday 7 to 14 days is what it did take now it takes a year. To be honest nothing has really changed except the fact that 2 other sites have recently been investigated. It has always been that US Players were playing at a risk, but thier payment process should not have changed. So you tell me.

Wrong, I`m afraid. None of the world`s six biggest poker sites have any American players at all. Your legislators have largely succeeded in preventing Americans from playing, and the centre of gravity of online poker is now in Europe and Asia.

Egon your right, but for the ones that do have us, we are their traffic, the Europeans and Asian market are not having to play at sites where you are at their mercy.

They are not doing this on purpose. They have to find payment processors to work with and the entire process slows things down.

Your suggestions would do nothing to speed up the process. We are lucky to still have places to play - we have to accept that withdrawals will be slow. They are not slower for non-US players because they have loads of options available for processing them. Not because they prefer to take care of them first.

I had a legitimate issue with my withdrawal from Lock which took way too long because they moved my funds without notifying me. But they no longer do that and once we got that bit settled my withdrawal took a few weeks which is normal.

Play freerolls only and you will see those freerolls disappear.
