Not accredited and not Rogue......however, Bryan did issue a warning about them several months back, if I recall.

I believe they have been walking a path along the edge of a cliff for some while, and by sheer luck have merely slipped a couple of times, but not actually fallen off. They continue this walk however, and the setting sun makes it harder and harder for them to see where they are going. Some loyal players aren't worried about watching where THEY are going, but have their eyes fixed firmly in front, following in their every footsteps, as in the past they have never actually fallen off, no matter how bad the slips have looked.
The only way to safety is a different path, towards the bright lights of the non-US market, but staying at a respectful distance so that their loyal US players can stay close without getting lit up.
Rushmore group have gone to some lengths in the past to make non-US players feel unwelcome. The main way they did this was to restrict bonuses to ONLY those deposit methods US players use to get around UIGEA, but that non-US players would steer well clear of, even if they could be accepted as clients. There have been numerous complaints from non-US players who have been shafted because they tried to claim a bonus sent to them, but found they had to use a "US only" deposit method like the then Quicktender, or a US Dollar based card, in order to even qualify.
The result should have been obvious, many US players, and few non-US players. US processing falls apart, cash disappears, and there is not enough non-US turnover to smooth things over. The fact that non-US players are now getting the same excuses is evidence that non-US monies are being used to prop up the US processing side, and are being lost along with US funds when processors run with the money, or the DoJ intercepts it.
The bank wires are NOT failing because the player has made a mistake in the information, it is because the banks, including intermediaries, have discovered the nature of the transaction and blocked it. Using the correct information isn't going to help, and asking the player again and again to resend it is nothing more than a tactic to buy time and make it appear that something new is being done or an error has been found.
It may be that Rushmore group has been blacklisted by many of the processors that still operate in the US, so they CANNOT improve matters to match what other US facing casinos have been able to achieve.
The recent "be aware" from Max also states that it is no longer the case that "everybody gets paid in the end" as is widely believed among loyal followers.
