Can you not withdraw as an example 8x $4,000 because i can remeber, that you can make even more difference withdrawals at one time, so they're all still reversable, but you must not log in in the future and can at least uninstall the casino up this full payment period

i'm sure, that every Random Jackpot is non-networked, but the progressives certainly networked

Thanks guys for all the laughs and enlightenment. I think my situation is understood by most of you. I have withdrawn 4k at a time and have a load of pending withdrawals. Today the first installment was in my bank account, minus what I believe is the $200 bonus I received when I deposited and minus a wire fee from my bank. So far all seems normal. A couple months is a long time to resist temptation and that is my major concern. I really wish they woulld flush them, even though they don't have to send all the money right away.

I've asked but no such luck.
The good news is I no longer have to figure out how I am going to be able to afford to go to California to see my kids over Christmas.

chuchu59: We'd all like to be in his shoes, every day! But that's not what's really important, is it? My point about the other 2 posts was not that I think you're just always wrong, I believe I was saying more like "I can't let this 3rd incorrect one slide..."

From memory, one was related to this kind of issue where a player requested self-exclusion and you were approaching the issue incorrectly, as proved by the conclusion to the thread - and I can't remember the other one off the top of my head. But just look through, I'm sure you'll spot it

JHV,

I really dont know which 2 posts you are referring to so as it should still be fresh in your mind please locate them and pencil in your comments. I would love to read them.

@takethemoney, hey first of all, congrats on the win - are your hands still shaking? sheesh my hands were shaking just reading about it!

Also yeah the whole flushing (or not) thing really sucks - I remember (way waayyyyy back) when I won enough to withdraw at Cherry Red and I asked in live chat to flush my WD and they had no idea what I was talking about. I came here and PMed Louise and she had it flushed by the next day even though it was on her day off. Which was great but I was still a little POed about it because what if I wasn't a member here? What if Louise was on holiday or sick or got hit by a bus...then what?

Unfortunately that's the situation you find yourself in - Louise is on holiday and obviously not one single other person at Cherry Red has the ability to flush withdrawals or fix anything that happens to go wrong there. Which isn't acceptable in my view.

If it was me (I wish) I'd be tempted too, but I'd reverse $500 to play with and not a penny more. If I won more, then even better. If I played that $500 and get nowhere then I'd tell myself that my streak was over and just wait for my money. You've already got your first payment so you can afford to play somewhere else for awhile and Louise will be back in less than 2 weeks and she'll probably be able to flush everything for you then. So really you don't have to struggle with temptation for too long.

Also...sometimes I find you get better customer support (albiet slower) when you deal with support via email rather than live chat. Supposedly the Rushmore Group was training people to take over from Louise when she was on holiday or days off or whatever - I don't know if they actually did or not or if you've contacted them that way? If they have someone who can do it, it's possible that the chat people just don't know about it.

Anyhow good luck with it and congrats again on the win!!!

Considering you can play blackjack and bet 1k + a hand in some casinos, you would think a 4k withdrawal is chicken feed for these places.

As previously discussed in this thread, the very least the casino could do is put the entire winnings into non reversable pending status.

For attracting new high roller clients this 4k max withdrawal in the t&c's could well lose potential business. As waiting weeks on end for a low 5 figure payout is a poor show.

If I were this player I would make sure I sat it out and play elsewhere until all the funds are released. Obviously the casino realises a high proportion of players will simply get tempted and reverse winnings.

For me there is no difference monetary wise between casino winnings and deposits, it is all money, your money. If you can reverse and play 20k, ask yourself this, would you ever deposit 20k of your own hard earned money at the same place?

Well said.

This is my main concern with this growing issue of withdrawal limits. I was arguing this point in another thread where the casinos have limited Moneybookers/NETeller/Click2Pay withdrawals to $500/week max cap.

Yet they'll allow you to easily wager $20,000 in turnover a MINUTE (unless I'm screwing up my maths but I don't think so - AutoPlay Slots at 4x/second [0.25sec between spins with my estimate of 0.25sec / spin]). Either way, the levels of wagering they allow and no doubt gladly welcome, makes a $500 or even a $5000/week cap seem very strange.

Which, of course, then leaves you to wonder if the cap is not obviously intentionally placed there for reasons we all suspect (particularly if they refuse to flush the pending withdrawals).

Perhaps I missed mention of this... or maybe it doesn't apply here... I just can't keep up w/RTGs and their bonus T&C ... but....

Does Cherry Red not have a max cash out restriction on bonuses?

I haven't played there in months but I went and checked the T & C's and couldn't find anything. The one thing I did notice though was that if you deposit via CC you cannot withdraw to a web wallet. I find that odd since I always deposit via CC and the (1) time I did manage a withdrawal it was to QT.

Weekend before last I deposited $100 at Cherry Red and got a deposit bonus. I made the playthru and went on to hit the sunken treasure slot for 10 grand. A couple days later I hit the Diamond Dozen slot for 20 grand. I was betting $1 on the Sunken and $1.20 on the Diamond. Amazing win on that amount of money.

Here is my concern. The casino only pays out $4000 per week. My initial withdrawal was processed inside of two days. The rest of my $4000 withdrawals are still sitting in my account 4 days later, still reversible. To me this is unacceptable. I understand they will only send you $4k per week, but I am not getting any kind of service on getting these others finalized so they are not reversible. Do I have anything to worry about? Shouldn't these others be flushed out of my account so they are not touchable?

Frankly, I'm not as impressed with the customer service here lately. I won before and it took almost a month to get paid. So is this the norm for this place?

Since your account balance is enticing you to play/reverse, uninstall the casino immediately and play elsewhere until you're paid in full. Hang out in a barber shop long enough and you're gonna get a haircut.
