I have noticed that quite a few casinos that WERE super fast at paying have deliberately put a stop to it (Canbet, for example, used to pay the next day, but now insert a 24 hour stall and pay the day after the next business day) this is pretty disappointing. Even some casinos that have made no obvious changes seem a little slower overall. These were all times experienced with withdrawals to Neteller, where arrival is within seconds of the actual transaction being generated from the respective merchant account.
I have also found it harder to predict which method casinos will use to pay any particular withdrawal. Mostly, this is down to whether withdrawals will return to my credit card or Neteller, only rarely have I got a cheque, and this has not happened recently. If winnings go back to my credit card, then I have to redeposit with the credit card, which then means that even more cashouts tend to go back to the credit card, and I can end up being unable to keep money in my Neteller account. It used to be a lot simpler - many casinos simply did not pay back to cards, and those that did would only return up to the amounts deposited.
As far as I am concerned, the only cost to me is time (it takes 3 days for the withdrawal to appear on my card, but it is instant with Neteller). Casinos are paying the fees, and I do wonder if they are somehow making problems for themselves by forcing a net flow from Neteller to my credit card by these one sided policies that ALWAYS favour the card, as deposits from Neteller are NOT returned to Neteller if even ONE deposit has come from the card.
IF my credit card decides to follow the herd and ban gambling transactions from those considered as "purchases", I could find that I can no longer use the card, and if casinos have not sent me a few crumbs back to my Neteller account I would have a spell of not being able to play, as oddly enough, both my DEBIT cards keep getting declined when attempting casino deposits, so I do not use them.
