Black Friday Withdrawals

[lkport]

No, I am not having withdrawals from being to play poker on PS and FTP. When Black Friday came, I immediately started lowering how much I had on some sites. Sites on the same network, I decided to clean some money out of one while keeping a playing balance at others. Some sites required a $50 minimum withdrawal. If I had less than that, I would try to play up to the minimum.

I am not bailing on poker, just paring down my sites with money from 30 or so to maybe 12-15. Anyway, I requested a bunch of withdrawals on Friday April 15, 2011 and I figured I would report on how long it took each network or site to get me the money.

Bodog was the quickest for me to get cash in hand. They send a debit card. I had that turned into cash in 6 days. There were fees from the ATM machines, and the card is loaded in a foreign currency. I took a small hit on the conversion, but this is the new poker reality. It will take work and/or money to move money around.

All the Cake network sites that I requested usemywallet withdrawals on did the transaction in less than 4 day. Very quick to UseMyWallet.

Merge Network was a little slower. On average all the ones I cashed out of took 6-8 days to show up at UseMyWallet. There is no processing time from UseMyWallet. When the site said the transaction was approved, the money was there.

I have not yet requested withdrawals from Everleaf, or whatever that network is Doyles is now on. Wildside Poker on the Atlantis Network had a playthrough on some freeroll winnings. I played through and requested new withdrawal a couple days ago, still pending.

I am just profit taking, my main sites have bankrolls and I usually have over $100 behind in UseMyWallet if I need to play a series on a site I cleaned out.
UseMyWallet charges a $30 fee to withdraw direct to your bank. I don't do that until I have $1k or so to cash out so it hurts less

I was thinking about using usemywallet for Cake or Carbon Poker but now seeing that they charge you $30 to withdraw I don't think I will. I wonder why it's so much to withdraw. When I used to use neteller or firepay I don't remember getting charge anywhere near that much to withdraw.

Back when you could use neteller, hiding from the DoJ was not an issue

It's $30 to withdraw to your bank account, there is no charge to move money into and out of the account. Jsut when you cash out to you bank. All things considered $30 is cheap.
