My 2cents
Very true!No blasting here, just curious as to why anyone from the USA would continue to play with all the problems going on and so many complaints
CONTINUOUSLY being posted.I guess because we can and it's a great place and, and, and...I could go on and on..
Just because I choose not to play and go through all the agony of some players nightmares, doesn't mean I need to leave the boards. Yes? After all, I am a grownup!
(Refers to first line on post)
You say you have had no problem and then come back and say except for..so either you had problems or haven't...
I can answer the question "Why keep playing?" Consider this...all of us U.S. players that have been playing for years online and built relationships with a few reputable casinos that we trusted, were promised that our money would be safe, deposits would be honored and withdrawals would be paid. This from casinos that (at least in my case) have paid us some staggering amounts with lightening speed, consistently and hassle free, (for the most part) for many years.
So yes, when we were promised that they were aware of the new laws, but that they had developed systems to effectively deal with them and assured us repeatedly that our loyal patronage would not go unrewarded, WE BELIEVED THEM...they had never given us a reason NOT to all these years.
So, we continue to deposit in good faith. And unless I've missed it, I think for the most part, we ARE getting paid, albeit with delays and hassle.
While there have been a FEW instances of returned checks, or cancelled processors resulting in the withdrawal having to be re-done, I do believe the reputable casinos have come through, and are bending over backward to try and find a more streamlined system. The last thing the casinos want to see happen is to lose all the US player money....it's too profitable for them.
Back to the original question.... Where else can you sit in your PJ's, throw $100 at your computer and walk away with ten times that amount in a few hours??? THAT, my friend, is why we continue to play. We just cannot fathom these companies NOT treating us in the fashion we have become accostomed to all these years.
So - for those of you (and you know who you are) who continue to sit in countries OTHER than the U.S. and say, "those silly Americans, when will they learn???" I would challenge you to withhold judgement until you have walked a mile in our shoes...it's very easy to be playing somewhere that you still enjoy hassle free deposits and withdrawals and criticize those of us who don't have it so easy right now. I really wonder if the same thing happened in your country, if you would just immediately wipe all your casino accounts off your computer, as you seem to imply Americans should do. I really wonder.....
