Great thread jetset!
I wanted to add some info that may or may not be relevant, I'll leave that up to you to decide.
Before the UIGEA came into affect, I'd receive an aff payment via wire. As it was US funds. If they didn't hit my bank in Australia with 24 hours, they'd be here in under 48h.
After the UIGEA if payment arrived in under 5 days I was fortunate.
However (and this is the point), I've had other wires from the US that are not gambling related and they arrive like clockwork in under 24 hours.
It's obvious to me that processing companies known to process gambling funds have already been red flagged in the USA.
Cheers
