Gaming club & Bellerock

[kassiap]

Hi all,this is not a huge complaint,more i am just wondering why?Why does it take this place so long to pay?Don't get me wrong they have always paid me and i have been playing there for over a year.I just wonder why; the first 24 hours they give you so if you have no will power you will reverse it and they don't have to pay you,i get that.Then i decide to have my cheque couriered and pay the 30$us(they send the cheque from montreal and it costs about 9 $ to courier to me in Edmonton)so they rip you off there.I guess i just want to know when all these other places on the net are doing what they can to get you the payment early,why does bellerock take 6 days just to courier you the cheque you pay extra for to have it couriered?I know if i don't like it don't play there,my tuff crap but i do like the pokerroom.I guess i was wishing someone could just inlighten me on there bad c.s.Thanks for reading

Couriering a check ............ first you have to have paid staff to prepare the check (cut the check, address envelope, arrange for delivery, etc.). The $9 part of the fee is just a small portion of the actual cost of paying by check, not to mention the time it takes for each step of the process.

So then why when you get a cheque regular mail it is free?Hmmm wouldn't all that have to be done in this case to?

You are paying a premium for expediency:

6 or so days for couriered check

vs.

15 to 21 days for check by regular mail.

Now it probably does not actually take 15 to 21 days to mail a check, but the casino can s-t-r-e-t-c-h the time it takes to pay you (and encourages you to use this method by charging $30 for a courier check). Most people would skip the $30 fee and wait it out.

thank you for that explanation,it kinda makes some sense now.Not happy sense,but sense

the first 24 hours they give you so if you have no will power you will reverse it and they don't have to pay you

Just a small question, slightly irrelevant, but BRE casinos used to be 12 hour Reverse. I know they removed their "manual flush" policy last year, but are they now 24 hour reverse?!?
