This may not be helpful to anyone but I wish I could find a post with replies regarding what American players know and dont know about online casinos especially when it has to do with depositing and withdrawing.
If anyone can share I would really appreciate it because I would really like to know what it is that I dont yet know.
WHAT I DO KNOW:
making deposits: For cc I know that visa works and I know that Amex works at certain casinos. I know mastercard works also.
For PREPAID cards I know that paypower visa works, I know that amex SERVE cards work (but not at all. I know that it works at planet7 and silver oak).
There are many bitcoin casinos opening or casinos offering bitcoins now.
making withdrawals: Only two options that I know of are bankwire and checks. bankwires are faster it seems and easier. checks are awkward and require a waiting period to clear because they seem to always come from canada or some other country.
Payment time frames: while deposits are instant withdrawals are not.
To get paid takes anywhere from a week (thank you club world) to over 2 months in some instances. It seems that you have to send picture ID, utility bills and pics of your cc in order to get paid. This process often is a mess and can take a week or more to get your documents "approved". This is a pain in the backside for sure. So that process can take a week then you wait another week to 10 weeks (depending on what casino you cashed out at) to get your funds - furthermore if you get a check you need to wait yet another few weeks plus pay fees before you have access to the money. This is part of being an american playing online casinos at the moment unfortunately.
WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW:
Depositing: Is there another method for americans other than cc that is dependable?
Is there a prepaid mastercard that is easy to get that will work at online casinos? This is probably the most interesting question to me at the moment *****
Withdrawing: is there online casinos that pay faster or with a faster method? For americans?
Also, I have not played at all casinos but here are a few that I love or dislike for different reasons:
Club world (who have like 5 or more casinos in their group). The GOOD part is they are Very dependable and the quickest payouts. Also with highest amounts. Bad part is their bonuses are very, very poor compared to other casinos.
Slotocash: Good part is they will pay you in decent time. BAD part is they write terms for bonuses in such a way as to trick players or make it totally not fun. I would never play them as they just seem to trick players into breaking some ridiculous term then confiscating their winnings. Club world's terms are ok because they allow all games (though the playthru becomes enormous if you like to play table games). Planet 7 groups also have the best terms of bonuses and playthrus.
silver oak and planet 7 group (who have like a thousand casinos i think). They are dependable. The GOOD part is that they do pay eventually and that they have outstanding bonuses that are not that restrictive as far as games and such. The bad part is they take the longest to get you your money. Like over 2 months Still they always kept contact and promised payment and eventually it did come.
As a side note if any amercian casinos are reading this: if you take too long to pay winnings then it is hard to play at your casino. For me personally I dont...and wont use a cc if it isnt prepaid. I cannot affort to go into debt to gamble and i know it is a dangerous slope to take credit to gamble. I dont have the discipline. but I do use prepaid cards and if I cant get my money back timely then I cant reload the card and I cant play again. If I could somehow get a clubworld and planet 7 mixture in a casino it would be awesome.
