Deposit easily, withdraw hard

**Tanergirl** · 4th April 2007, 03:16 AM

I have been gambling online for 4 years. And, I have NEVER had any problems until March 2007. Can anybody tell me why they can take the money out so quickly, yet I cannot get paid. I, too, have been waiting for a payount. I have always paid through my checking account. The funds are gone the next day. Finally, somebody posted about the EcoCard and Riverbelle paying out. I do not play through them, but somebody just a known. I just do not understand how they can take one way, but they cannot replace the same way now. Thank you.

Maybe I just don't get it either. Makes ya wonder who's side this law is on.

If the concern is that our online casino deposits could be in some way supporting evil doers well fine. Now it's almost as easy as it ever was to deposit but harder to withdraw. Who cares if I want to deposit a fat check from outside the country. Thought it was about stopping us from unknowingly putting our hard earned dollars into the wrong hands not taking it out.

Did they not know they were going to have to go at this from the wrong end of the deal or what. Did they know nothing about gambling at all. If they made it difficult for us to get our money out of the casino maybe we'd think twice about depositing. Ah.. hello ..gee would gamblers be willing to take the chance of getting nothing for their deposit. That's a gamble already being taken with every deposit.

They will never make it impossible to deposit and only make it a pain in the butt to cash in. Sorry to go on so but it just makes me crazy. When you think of the laws supposed intent its laughable. Either they are just stupid or so greedy its scarey.

As for the casinos seeing this coming well seems they were willing to gamble some themselves. At the start I think most players were focused on how could we get those deposits made. I think they banked on that happening. We should of had the upper hand. They want our money and would of worked like hell to ensure reliable deposit and cash in options were available had we demanded it. Instead we (most and myself included) sought out any deposit method working doing the work for them. It's no wonder it appears they are dragging their feet finding reliable cash in options. Making sure money was flowing as easily in both directions didn't stop players from depositing before is it now ?

Stop Online Gambling and you won't have these problems!

All of your posts are admonishments to players for gambling. I don't think anyone needs you telling them over and over to stop gambling, when they post a question or problem. Apparently you have no withdrawal problems and it seems you do not even gamble online. So why are you posting to this forum?

Sorry, but I for one am tired of your "I told you so's."

Do you have a hidden agenda for reading these posts? Are you part of some anti-gambling organization? Or just bored with nothing else to do.

This Forum is those who gamble online not gambling NAY SAYERS!

While anyone may join this forum and be free to post on this site, replying to posts should be relevant to the topic.

I doubt I am the only member with this view. I am interested in seeing how your respond to this.

Ill just let silcnlayc speak for me on this comment:

Why do you guys (in the USA) insist on supplying funds to these casinos knowing full well all the horror stories from the get go thinking you will be different?

I don't get it...you give them money, they have no withdrawal button or lots of excuses, then you complain....whats wrong with this picture except for the fact that USA players are a tad thick in the head and are practicly "forcing" money upon these people...think they want you to stop that ...geez...they will keep taking as long as you guys are dumb enough to give..

No offense to anyone in particular...but I am not getting the, deposit lots of money vs no withdrawal vs complaining vs knowing about the money transfer issues???? Hello? Anyone home?

Stop playing....thats all it takes...geez...take a trip, save for a nice weekend off to your favorite place...get a fix that way...take a partner/friend/family member and you will enjoy yourself that much more than sitting screaming at your monitor and "praying" just maybe your withdrawal will slip through the net of no withdrawals...

I for one wants you to get your money. But why keep creating problems? Maybe tough love is what some of you needs. I've been an online gambler since 1998. First casino was Casino On Net. First Poker was Poker.com went to Delta Poker, Coco Poker, and when Paradise came it was a BIG change for online poker. Paypal wasnt even a service when I started. Obey the laws of your country or fight for change!

i dont think the guy is antigambling. i think he is pro-common sense. there is really no reason for any of us in the u.s. to be playing online right now. the countless hours and phone calls and emails and b.s. trying to get paid and find deposit options is pretty silly when you think about it. i, for one, have just started going to atlantic city more than usual. i still play pokerstars only because my balance has been the same for months and i seldom cash out from there anyway. this will all blow over eventually and if the u.s. can regulate it (find a way to get their cut) then all will be well in the world. if not we will probably find a way to survive without online gaming. or we can all move to europe!

pro-common sense

there is really no reason for any of us in the u.s. to be playing online right now

it depends on where you play, what withdrawel methods are available!!! there are casinos that pay, i.e bodog, mg casinos that offer ecocard withdrawels. I have not had a problem except for a click2pay issue which I solved by depositing at a casino that would payout a differnet method than original deposit!!! common sense dictates that you would not withdrawel via ach right now, so I think that those who continue are asking for trouble, but as an adult they are free to make their own decisions and deserve not to get blasted by those who are no longer playing!! why even bother posting on this site?
