Question re: payouts & a small rant

Posted:22.03.2011, 12:21

Another day, another bonus playthrough - yay! (pantasia, $35 free, 40xPT, $140 max withdrawal). But here's the thing - right now my echeck acct is waiting for another payment to go through, so I can't deposit w/them yet - either the $25 or the $50 echeck options.

So, silly me, I confirmed that my verification docs had been rec'd, then deposited with my Visa, thinking surely there'd be some way to withdraw from there...

Livehelp informed me that there isn't. (I do not have a qt/umw account yet - this was a plain old Visa transaction.)
There's simply no way to withdraw until I deposit via echeck. So, $140 bonus (yay!), $25 visa, now I'm waiting to be able to deposit with the echeck that only requires a 25 payment, rather than the one that pops up and requires 50.

Is that right? I mean, is it normal to be told that there's no way to withdraw based on your deposit method?

Also, omg, the W A I T I N G is killing me! Wait on verification, wait on pending withdrawals, wait for echeck to even acknowledge there's a payment pending TO me, wait on echeck to "clear" the payments that cleared my bank the next biz day... Grr! I just want to get some of these withdrawals out of the way so that I feel comfortable in depositing somewhere other than intertops (when their slots run cold for me there's no amount of waiting to get them back

)

Sorry for the rant, just ready to roll here, rather than continue to deposit funds I can't really play because they're piggybacked onto my bonus anyway!

ETA: I was under the impression that this was the usual deal:
Due to restrictions imposed by Visa/Mastercard services, we cannot process any withdrawal nor return the original deposit to these cards. Winnings from credit card deposits may be withdrawn to another banking method listed in our cashier.

Blah. Reading other posts.. lets just call that a rant and not a question. The casino giveth & the casino holds your funds so that you can't taketh away. ;)

Also, it seems like everytime I contact live help I get the same woman - for days in a row. It's almost embarrassing for some reason. lol

labeled, Hi. Congrats on your wins.

Sorry but casinos can not pay to credit cards. It has been like this for about 4 years for americans and is due to the banking laws. You have to deposit via the payment method you wish to cashout with. So to withdraw by echeck you have to deposit that way. The casinos can not control how long it takes echeck to do things, except when you cashout.

Hi TDAT, I realized the funds couldn't be withdrawn to the card, but thought I'd be given an alternate withdrawal method - almost every casino's banking page states as such. Pantasia just doesn't mention it at all. lol

And thanks - I don't know why I'm getting SO lucky with some certain 3-reels!

ETA: I forgot to mention that i contacted one casino which moved my payout to processing a couple of days ago (rather than reversible) and they told me that it wouldn't be released to echeck until the 29th, so yes, I can't blame echeck.

One I'm kind of.. I don't even know. It's from Palace of Chance, and I haven't deposited, but was told I didn't have to - I just had to send my docs in. That remains in "reversible" limbo - partly my fault because I accidentally reversed it, and then picked the wrong way to get it to me, so... we'll see. It definitely is filed under "sounds too good to be true" though.

labeled, rigged for you to win? lol, I doubt that.

LOL, rigged to meet the playthrough so that I have to deposit in those casinos in which I've yet to do so...

I think too much, huh? LOL
