The move is no big deal, BUT it is a move in the WRONG DIRECTION, and is being seen as a kick in the teeth by loyal players. It now seems that it is WORSE than a simple extra 24 hour wait, as other changes seem to have added a number of additional delays to the processing chain.
This change has come shortly after the Lucky Club move to new software, which has now been exposed as a complete sham with a supposed "unknown investor" with "new software" being fast tracked to "baptism by fire" in the same week as it was launched. If we take what the rep said about this change as the truth, the promotion to "baptism by fire" beggars belief. The only rational explanation is that JC group lied all along to players, many of whom were further annoyed by having all their earned comps arbitrarily confiscated at 4 days notice, and considerable doubt as to whether even their cash balances would be returned to them if they didn't notice this change and submit withdrawals within the very short notice period.
The change to 48 hour pending was AGAIN explained away as an "improvement" for the PLAYERS, which was completely dismissed as total BS on the day it was posted.
US players have to put up with it, as other sites are far worse, and they don't have the choice to play at many of the casinos with even better service because they have been driven out of the US market. Non-US players DO have a choice, and it is these players with access to the eWallets like Neteller that will notice this change the most, and these same players have a much wider choice.
JC are vulnerable to any new US facing operator that muscles in with promises of what JC used to offer in the way of fast, hassle free, withdrawals.
