URGENT: US Players - 48 Hours to withdraw via ACH from Microgaming Casinos

[chalupa]

US Players...

I'm am fairly sure this applies to all Microgaming casinos (it does to at least three of them, all from different groups).

Check withdrawals are NOT an option at the moment, apparently because the check processing firm dropped them. Apparently one firm handles all Microgaming checks(?)

ACH withdrawals ARE an option, but only for the next 48 hours (unexplained reason).

So if you have any pending withdrawals, I would call the casino immediately and see if you can get it changed to an ACH withdrawal.

If Bryan or somebody with inside connections can shed any light on this it'd be much appreciated.

In the meantime, if I get my money out, it ain't going back in until things settle down.

Could you possibly name the casinos? I haven't received any such notice from any of the casino groups...

[chalupa]

The casinos are First Web Casino and Wild Jack Casino (apparently these are both in the same group, contrary to my first post) and Big Dollar Casino.

I didn't receive any notice either, I only found out after calling them. Jackpot Factory put some updated info on their web page (but not the part about the 48-hour deadline for ACH).

Big Dollar didn't give any notice and also doesn't have anything posted on their web site that I saw.

Again, I don't know if this applies to all Microgaming casinos or not. But if you're a US player with a pending withdrawal, I'd certainly recommend calling support to find out.

Are MGS Casinos which have all blocked US Players this week. Vegas Partner Lounge the affiliate program for these casinos and poker rooms sent out an email earlier today stating:

This week we announced that it is with great regret that we can no longer accept any new US players at the Vegas Partner brands. The reason for this is that it has become impossible for the online casinos we represent to pay out US players.

Therefore, the only honorable option was to deny play to new players residing in the US and to block credit card purchases. This has been due to the extremely strict legislation recently passed in the US. Unless a solution is found, this decision will unfortunately stand.

I have boldened and underlined the important part of that email. Every day brings worse news.

This week we announced that it is with great regret that we can no longer accept any new US players at the Vegas Partner brands.

Does this mean they will allow existing US players who have accounts with their casinos to continue to play? They do say any new US players.

...Big Dollar didn't give any notice and also doesn't have anything posted on their web site that I saw...

The operator of Big Dollar just contacted me and said that there is no truth to this rumor that they are leaving the US market. Big Dollar is not pulling out of the US.

It is good that some casino managers have the balls to put up the fight even when most other casinos back out and leave them standing alone.
Hhhmm. "Big Balls" casino is not a bad name eigther

It has become my favorite slot casino due to the weekly bonuses for VIP.

Hope I wasn't starting that rumour about Big Dollar.... to be clear, they (phone support) didn't tell me they were pulling out of the US market.

What they DID say was that they are not currently able to send checks and it sounded like their ACH withdrawals are in the same tenuous state as the other casinos.

I've had nothing but good experience with Big Dollar until this point, I hope they do stay in the US market.
