The cheqes arrived after 2-3 weeks, and until all involved banks took their fees, there was nothing much left of cheque value. They don't reply on email requests about this change of payment method. So I leave them alone until they confirm me that future payments will be effected according to my instructions.
This is a common trick, and one that Playtech casinos are fond of. They want to make it very hard for you to withdraw, and then they use the most inefficient and expensive method possible, so you end up feeling you would have been better off playing it all back.
Is this happening NOW, AFTER William Hill took over. From your tale, it almost looks like this was IMPLEMENTED during the takeover by William Hill.
It is rogue behaviour, there is NO reason for casinos to resort to the "stone age" when we have eWallets which have been designed SPECIFICALLY to service online gambling transactions, with their other functions merely being there for "cover" (such as the Neteller "you American players can still use your Neteller accounts at OTHER merchants than gambling related ones" - this "other merchants" turned out to be a coffee house in Amsterdam, tracked down by one player).
If casinos have to use a different withdrawal method for THEIR convenience, they should NOT be charging the PLAYER the extra costs.
You have reminded me of another reason I steer clear of Playtech - this deposit by Neteller and get paid by cheque BS - this completely bucks the trend, most casinos bend over backwards to return withdrawals to the method used to deposit - to hinder moneylaundering.
If I wanted to launder money, Playtech would be just great. Dirty money in one way, nice clean cheque out the other, successfully moving the money from A to B. Paying back to deposit method stops this, because then it's dirty money in, and straight back out into the dirty money pile, making it all dirty again.
