The first casino I played at was Sky Vegas, who do not have a reverse withdrawal feature. At the time I had no idea that this was a standard part of most online casinos and when I withdrew that money I simply assumed that was the end of it.
When I played at Ladbrokes a few days later, I spotted the "you may now reverse your withdrawals for 4 hours" in the banking area, and thought hey that sounds handy. Sure enough I used the feature many times that session - I was withdrawing money as I won it in specific chunks for bills etc I had outstanding, leaving a little in to play with, but when I went bust I kept thinking, !look how easily you made all this money, you should keep going!". When I finally drew a line that session I had just £110 still on its way to my bank from over £400 earlier in the evening. I had now experienced first hand the menace of the reverse withdrawal feature!
I think that as long a casino offers a 'flushing' option too then it can be a useful thing and no doubt some customers may insist on having such an option available particularly in countries where withdrawing can be an inconvenient and time consuming process, and of course the fact it can save lots of processing fees for the casinos is also a good thing, but casinos should respect the right of a customer to say they do not want this feature should they wish.
