I understand your frustration ksech as do most players in this forum paying any attention at all. The only thing I can say is it's been this way for awhile now and I guess you have to decide for yourself whether it's worth it or not. I cut my depositing down to very little the last year or more because of the same b.s. you mention in your post. When you feel like no one has to follow any set rules except you the player, you know you're screwed before you even begin.
I still prefer qt coming and going and don't mind the fees as I feel they are reasonable for what I get in return and that is a lot more than I can say for my american made bank with all their b.s. fees. As for posting these things all over the forums it has become necessary to keep it low key or under the radar maybe and that's unfortunate for new players although I'm pretty sure the same info can still be found at most of the other forums unless things have changed very recently.
I think I have to agree with you on casino reps because I've noticed a few threads where a poster asks for a rep to reply or hopes one will but I bet we'd find in most or all of them, there's no reply. I think if the problem is serious enough to the player, and the rep wont reply then
the player might do well to ask one of the moderators here. That's what I would do anyway.
But like I said it's been this way for awhile now imo and only you can decide if it's worth it or not. I have a problem with authority so the more the govt. tries to stop me, the more I want to play

The rest boils down to knowing your casino and what they will and wont do because there are many that still stick to the rules and take care of the player the best they can. Which isn't always easy when it comes to american players.
For what it's worth, if more players were like you, the way you try to keep up on everything that is c-a-s-i-n-o, the bad guys wouldn't have such an easy time ripping us off.
Bryan has already made his position known. US players would be better off NOT playing until the whole situation has settled down. At the time, it seemed US would eventually go for regulation, but now this is much less certain.
US players who still deposit must be sure to understand the risks involved, including the risk of having their gambling funds vanish into limbo.
The casinos and ewallets are doing their best to ensure players are NOT aware of the risks. They do this by LYING about grave aspects of the current climate in order to make players feel much safer than they really are.
Maybe the reps are concerned because they have funds tied up in EWE like the players do and they don't want to stir the pot?
It does irritate the hell out of me that merchants are apparently told one thing but customers are told the same lame excuse day after day. Also, the possible charade of going through the motions of player withdrawals when EWE can't flat out do it is unprofessional and fraudulent.
The casinos don't want to scare away the US player altogether whilst they are able to figure out new ways for them to deposit. IF players buy in to the story about "technical problems" with their current methods, they are more likely to try new methods. If they knew that there really WERE mass seizures, and that their funds had actually disappeared, and would NOT be restored after "technical issues" were fixed, US players might stop depositing altogether, and very abruptly.
It is inconceivable that EWX have had "technical issues" for this long, yet seem so very relaxed about it given that it must be CRIPPLING their business to have absolutely NO turnover for MONTHS, yet still have to pay staff, office rent, keep IT and CS running.
The next phase of the EWX saga will probably be when STAFF realise they are probably working for nothing because EWX has no unfrozen assets left to pay them. This will be obvious when all CS avenues simply "go dead", not even giving out the lame "technical problems" excuse.
Merchants are playing a dangerous game, since ONE merchant has "broken ranks" to tell the real story on another forum. The truth will eventually come out, just as it did with Neteller, and merchants who KNEW that players had lost everything they had in EWX, yet pretended it was still safe to carry on playing because they would soon get the money back after "technical problems" were fixed, will find themselves in the firing line. Once a big lie like this is exposed, casinos are going to have trouble quashing the various other rumours that surface, because players will believe they are lying again to cover up a major issue.
Neteller are STILL paying the price for lying about "technical issues" and "overload" when they were pretending to process account closures for US players who "wanted out" after they stopped accepting gambling transactions for US players. When a major upgrade went wrong, and Neteller was "down" for nearly 3 days as a result, it didn't take long for customers to start to fear that they had, in fact, gone bust and were again using "technical problems" as a stalling excuse. The problem wasn't helped when customers who wanted to leave could not because Neteller could not process ANY account withdrawals, and all Net+ cards stopped working. They vented on the Neteller facebook page, and Neteller made, and broke, one promise after another - eventually coming out with the old "we cannot say when this will be fixed", the SAME line EWX are currently using.
