Hello Casinomeisters,
Obviously, I would assume that 99.99% of the online gaming community (closer to 100% than to 99.99%, but there are crazy people out there
) would prefer to have instant withdrawals as opposed to waiting for even a day. While it certainly feels great knowing that you can get your wins instantly, I think there's something just as... if not more important than collecting wins.
Personally, I have these strong feelings about how I know I'm not going to win after playing for a few minutes. Lately, I generally make $100 deposits at MG casino's (whereas I used to make the majority of mine in the $20-50 range). The problem when you know you're going to lose (as I'm sure some of the other posters would share these same feelings), while you can withdraw, you have to wait a day or two to get those funds back. Sure, it's not that long of a wait, but sitting there while playing, you're more than likely to keep playing through JUST because you'd rather be occupied (with futile hopes of winning) than to have to wait another day. When you're at a casino, you can go grab a drink, and switch tables.
For me, the best game at figuring out IF I'm going to have a winning session or a losing one is BJ. To many people, my reasons are likely to appear as fruitless. But I know I'm not going to be doing much winning IF:
- The dealers bust cards routinely end of being 20's and 21's.
- The player draws bust cards (less than 6) on the majority of doubling up situations WHILE the dealer is showing a bust card. For eg. I have 2 and a 9, and the dealer is showing a 4. I double-up and draw a 3, and the dealer draws a 10 and a 6. Either way, I would have lost.
- The dealer routinely puts together 19-21's with 4-5 cards, while the player generally busts on 3 cards (and can't ever have similar luck as the dealer).
- When the rare BJ's that the player gets results in a push, ditto on 21's.
- When hitting on anything equal and higher than 12 results in drawing a face card, yet hitting on 8-10's results in drawing low cards.
- Splits on A's and face cards consistently result in either a loss or a draw (or even money, let's say a win AND a loss).
When you see these things occuring after a short amount of time in succession, it's not likely to change over the course of a full-session (at least in my long-term experience).
So, ideally, if this is happening at Capital Casino for example, I'd love to take what's left of my credit and go over to Spin Palace and try my luck there.
I accept losing, generally expect to lose, when I win, that's super (that's why I play BECAUSE that's the fun in it). But for me, my instincts tell me when I'm not going to win somewhere, and that this particular casino has dried-up for me for the time being (generally after making 1-2 substantial withdrawals). I know MANY people who'll disagree with this, and that ALL MG's play-out the same way. That may very well be true, and there may be great statistics to back that up. I feel differently about that very subject though.
Another note, I've often read about how some of the online gaming community prefers having the reverse-withdrawal option. I read 10% prefer having that option. Since when is 10% of anything in a poll, ENOUGH to keep an option around?
These polls that are "really" done:
- Who's voting?
- Who REALLY wants the reverse withdrawal option?
- And if that person REALLY wants that option, is that opposed to merely flushing or say, instant withdrawals? Because, that's a huge difference.
If there is a faction of people out there in the world who would rather have reverse withdrawals as opposed to instant withdrawals, I'm finding that hard to believe.
Frankly, that doesn't even make any sense. If Phoenician can offer instant, if Extreme can offer instant, why can't this be the standard then? We hear all these wonderful reasons as to why it can't be done, but why are these smaller operations able to do it (I assume they WERE smaller operations PRIOR to offering instant)?

My main point though, was that while most online players would love the option for instant withdrawals when they win, I feel just as strongly to have that option for when one's losing. When I know I'm losing big, and I feel that I'm in a middle of a shit-storm, I would like to take what's left and go to another casino.
Same thing for Tombraider, going 300 spins with no bonus round OR aztec statues.
Or VP.
