My first withdraw requests....

Hey everyone,
I've been very fortunate so I've made some withdraw requests and here are the status for them in case anybody wants to know how it turns out in regards to these casinos.  I haven't read anything negative with them so I'm assuming everything will go as planned. 


High Noon:
7/24 Withdraw requested for $3700
7/26 Withdraw declined (Faxback form confusion but straightened it out)
7/26 Withdraw requested again (Contacted support and was told it would be processed by tomorrow 7/27 and expect up to 6 business days before it shows in my account.)

Lucky Red:
7/27/2011 2:37:46 AM ACH Withdrawal Requested for $400
Was told it would be processed by tomorrow. 

Titan Casino:
7/25/2011  Withdraw requested for $1200
Checked with support today and was told it will be processed as soon as it is approved but no time frame was given.

How awesome!!!

Those are great choice of casinos.

Congrats.destro!

Very nice set of cashouts destro33.  I don't think you should have too many problems with those casinos provided all your docs etc are ok and no duplicate accounts.

Do let us know how the withdrawals go and very well done to you.  Congratulations.

Thanks everyone....I don't think I'll ever have a hot streak like this again but who knows. The sad thing is I walked away from my laptop when I hit it big at HN to use the bathroom.  I had just won some free spins playing Victory and started the spins. I come back and the feature was over and the total winnings said $5600. I had to do a double take and make sure I was reading correctly. I had a play through of around $2500 before I could cash out. Same thing happened at Titan. So now I walk away whenever I get a feature. Haven't been able to duplicate it but then again.....you never know. I can't expect to win all the time.

So here is an update.....

Lucky Red:
Got a declined email from them this morning.  I contacted support and was told they are having an ACH issue so the cashier had to decline it.  Support told me to put my request in again and it should be approved on Monday. 

High Noon:
I asked why High Noon was still pending and she told me I cancelled the request and changed the amount at the same time the cashier was going through the requests.  They assured me that reversing a request would not affect the processing.  Keep in mind that I did this at around 1:55am EST.  Maybe I should have known better but I didn't think that 30 second window would affect the process. 

Casino Titan:
Still pending but I expected that from what I've read.


Overall I'm disappointed so far and my trust has gone down a bit but I've heard nothing but good things in regards to the CW group.  Because of my ordeal with 99 Slots, I got that sinking feeling in my stomach for a moment that it was a ploy to hold my requests over the weekend in hopes I would reverse and spend it.  I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case since it is a clever tactic to entice a player to give some of it back.  I have a "play" budget and alot of it is now tied up with HN and CT requests.  I'm tempted to cancel the request for Lucky Red and that will satisfy my urge.  Maybe it's my need for instant gratification?  I'm sure most of you know, when your on a good streak you want to keep it going until it dies down. What do you all think?

Congrats on your winnings destro!  I feel your frustrastion and anxiety about the withdrawals, especially on the larger amounts.  I am experiencing a very frustrating situation with Slots Jungle over an initial $1900 withdrawal request 1 week ago.  They make you wait 4 business days before they will even approve the withdrawal and then you have the wire transfer time on top of that (they offer no other method of receiving funds if you are a USA player).  They decided that they would only give me $500 of my $1900 request with NO explanation at all, placed the $1400 back in my account in hopes I would gamble it away.  An email to finance was put in, their reply was to just go back to initiate a new withdrawal!  Not only do I have to pay another $30 processing fee but they are holding my winnings hostage for another 4 business days before they approve the NEW request.  Soooo...I'm afraid some of these casinos have us USA players over a barrel and they know it.  We should all use caution right now and be aware of the casinos that WE are sharing our troubles with here.  I will not be depositing any more at Slots Jungle, who apparently are rated fairly high here at LCB.  BEST of luck to you on receiving ALL your winnings!

Way to go , you'll be a rich man! I hope that you will cash out every single cent, I don't see why you wouldn't.

gratz m8, and just stick with it, luckyred is a good support and phone support too, im sure you will get it soon, just phone them, they tend to work faster when you phone them, as for high noon, just stick with it, and spend it wisely when you get the withdraws, gl

LuckyRJ

Thanks everyone.....I think I'll just sit tight and wait to see what happens on Monday.  Most of the withdraw from Lucky Red will likely be "reinvested"towards a casino so I'm thinking I will reverse that one.  It is the smallest amount.  I would normally agree and reverse Casino Titan since they seem to be the casino out of my list that will take the longest but it is a significant amount so I'll leave that alone.

I doubt I'll be a rich man but who knows.  At this rate I can quit my day job and play online slots for a living. ;-)

I think you should just site tight and wait it out destro.  Your cash will be in your account soon and you'll be glad you waited.  $5l300 in your account will look very pretty indeed but if you reverse the $400, you will have $4,900 which is pretty but not as pretty!

Do you have any comp points you could cash in to satisfy your urge?

destro hang tight high noon will have it to you quick  3-5 days money in your hand.  congrats..... they are real quick fed ex ....

I know the best thing to do is wait but I couldn't let my streak go to waist. Long story short....my streak continued but what can I say, the 400 is now gone. I won't even mention how much I was up because most of you will probably want to give me a good kick in the rear. I did make it up at Titan by adding 500 to my winnings. I had to cancel the withdraw to add it so karma seems to have evened things out. Now I worry Titan is going to start the waiting process all over.

So here is an update:

High Noon:
If you saw my posted question in the direct casino support....then you know I was told my withdraw should be coming soon.  Regardless of how many changes and reversals (9 in 3-4 days), I thought I would see the status change by now.  I made my last withdraw request on 8\1 at 12:10pm EST which is after hours for them.  I thought for sure I would see change when I woke up this morning but I was wrong.  I contacted support and they apologized and stated their cashier has been back logged.  Then support stated it will be processed in 2 days.  So are they saying not until Monday since the cashier is not working on the weekend?  I'm trying to be patient but it's hard not to get frustrated.  I don't want to make anymore deposits until I see the withdraw process work.  I understand my multiple changes may have caused issues but........ well, it feels better to vent. 

Casino Titan and Lucky Red:
I ended up reversing LR and CT with the intent to make them really big or lose it all.  LR was a small amount so no worries there. 

CT winnings was made from my first deposit so I just saw it as "Have fun and hope for more success".  I did really well for a few days...up, down, up, down but eventually the casino gods won.  I had a blast in the process!

I also wanted to ask anybody with experience.  I've looked on the boards but wanted to know directly from people who have experienced ACH vs Courier Check.  Either one have advantages or disadvantages? After doing some research, I've gotten a little paranoid about using ACH.

This isn't anywhere close to what Destro won, but it's huge to me. I'm waiting for $700, not the first but the first in a long time. I think winning is easy,(most of the time), it's cashing out and sitting tight till it comes that is hard. I cashed out $600 from Inetbet couple weeks ago, had made a cc deposit just so I could get Overnight Express, instead of my PayLinQ. I changed my method of withdrawing back and forth not sure what I was doing and without getting answers I needed. I got my withdraw in MyPayLinQ. Well I dipped and dipped and dipped till I had $20 left, I wanted to deposit somewhere different with. I cannot still believe how lucky I was to get 4 of kind quarter Pickem Poker $150, went down to $25 $50ish. Then a straight flush and 2 more 4 of kinds. I cashed out $700,
      Really didn't want MyPayLinQ to get it again. I wrote support in message box in casino and explained everything. They approved my withdrawal Overnight Express. I am even more thankful for that, because the money is safe from my fingers. But that was last Fridays wee hours and have not heard from them with tracking or anything. I really don't want to bug them, but I hate to think I'd have to wait till next week. I haven't anything else to play with and all ready to go!
    I thought they take about 5 days at the most. I'm sorry to be so whiny, but at least I killed some time, and hopefully give you a wake-up of how beautiful wins can turn into something ugly and painful. Find anything else to do that you can. Congratulations, by the way!

OMG,helwin...lucky indeed!

I am sitting in here with such an excitement!
Hoooooray,

Congrats. on your superly duperly awesome win and I think you made the right choice of changing the method to overnight express which might take sometimes depends on what casino but as you well put it, the money is safe from those tempted fingers.:)

Here is another update with my withdraw request from HN:

On August 2nd in the direct casino forum, I told Martyn I would wait and be patient.  Well......still waiting.  I'm getting more than frustrated now and regret ever thinking I can enjoy a casino online.  To be honest, I'm getting down right angry.  My wife who was all for the online casino experience is now 100% against it and does not have any faith in the concept.  I'm at their mercy and it sucks that I have to sit back and take the BS I'm being fed.  One of my first posts on this forum was in regards to my bad experience with 99 Slots and to be honest, I don't see much of a difference  except with HN, i am constantly being reminded by their support that they are reputable.  Not to mention the different bits of advice from support that conflicted with each other as well as the site FAQs.  Yes I have made several cancelations and resubmissions but honestly, since my initial request over 2 weeks ago, I've been told so many different excuses on why it's still in "requested" status.  Here are some examples in the order they happened:

- Initially was told I did not submit a faxback.  I clarified that I did through All Star Slots and got it confirmed.  They cancelled and put the balance back into my account. 

- the next time, more than 2 business days had past.  They told me "You made a change request the exact moment the cashier was getting ready to process your request so she cancelled it".  Really?  It was 1:30am EST so I doubt they were in the office at that time....5 hour difference I believe correct?

-  Another few days, I was told I am making changes and I needed to stop. 

- Few days later, asked again and was told the cashier is back logged and to wait 2 business days.  Since that was a Thursday, I had to wait till Monday.  Bearing in mind I made a change to my request on Sunday, I sent a PM to Martyn to help in speeding up the process on Monday morning.

- Monday morning I get an email stating the request was declined.  No PM response from Martyn, I called support on the phone and they told me I needed to submit my ACH info and I never did that.  Hmmmm.......this was the same problem originally.  Besides, it's on the faxback form!

- That was yesterday....I sent the cashier the ACH info yesterday afternoon and waiting to see if things go through tomorrow and goes past the request status.

In general, I truly believe they are stalling in hopes I reverse and completely blow it all.  Which I've not done.  Holding steady at 3000.  My initial request was 3700.  And just to add, I managed to win some more and maxed out the request at 4000 but thats when I got more of a run around.  Getting inpatient and angry, I'm now back down to 3000 but will not be budging anymore.  I would not be so angry if it got out of the request stage.  Unless this group of casinos does something to change my mind, I am pretty sure I'm done with giving my money to any casino.  I understand there are international rules and all but honestly, they are quick to take my hard earned money when depositing, but god awful slow when withdrawing.  I would be better off tossing my money into a fire and hoping it turns into jewels before getting a withdraw taken care of in a timely manner.  Will I get another excuse tomorrow?  We'll see.  If anybody has something to say to change my mind on how I feel, please let me know because I'm just frustrated beyond belief.  You have no idea how hards its been to not completely reverse it all and call it a day.

great news!!!

Thanks lips but I'm sure I'll be told I have made a lot of change requests and so on.  I can handle a waiting time to get a withdrawal but it just seems to me I get an excuse whenever I give them the time they ask for.  The cashier is quick to cancel with no explanation. I'm calmer now that I vented a bit on here.

destro forget the ach the courier check comes fed ex and fast go that route......much easier than verifying all the bank info ect.....

Unfortunately the check is 2500 max but I'm thinking I'm better off changing it to check. I'll flip a coin and see....

  Really hard to say this, It will be short. Yesterday had written support asking about something I got in junk mail and if it was for my cashout Overnight Express. I got an answer saying the money was in MyPaylinQ. It was there since the 5th. Now it's not there because I just flipped. Not only did I lose all that money and the time waiting for it, I lost something else too, and it's not that easy to replace. I need to talk and need someone to listen. You are the  best support there is, Thanks for being here LCB members and staff
                    I'll comment more on this if there's a comfortable spot in the withdrawal obituaries. Can we put a couch in there?
                                Just kidding.

I hear you on that. I changed my withdraw to check and took 500 to the tables. It's disgusting how the games "tighten up". I played some craps and literally on every role of the dice, I had absolutely no chance in winning. I saw 100 go real fast. Went to a slot and won it back in one spin. Played some Blackjack and watched some more disappear in a matter of minutes. Again absolutely no chance in the hands that were dealt. Went back to slots and watched the rest of the 500 disappear really really fast. It's disgusting how fast it goes. I still wonder how much of it is actually based on pure odds. I have to imagine that it isn't. Twice my session got disconnected for some strange reason and I remember not to long ago, I was playing the play money version. I got disconnected by an administrator twice in 5 minutes. I don't remember what casino that was. I was just trying to see how some of the table games work. Oh well, since my request has been changed again, I'm sure I'll have to wait on processing. Assuming I stay off the laptop and things are processed according what they say, I probably won't see anything until late next week. It sucks because I wanted to take the family to the beach for a mini vacation before the end of the summer. That plan is out the window since I squandered almost half of my winnings away. I take blame for most of it but I can't excuse the lame reasons on delays. It's always something. I feel for the cashier if she's doing it alone but I can't understand how they expect to keep players coming back. Do withdraws outside the US takethis long as well?  Or is this what US players have to deal with given the circumstances?  Is it possible it's a combination of both clever business tactics and laws?  I've read a lot on the boards and it seems everybody has different experiences.  One thing is for sure, patience is key. Land casinos you get a quick turn around for obvious reasons so the loss I take is much more bearable. I get cash in hand right away but the waiting for an online cashout is unbearable and I feel like I'm just burning money.  This of course is just my own opinion. I feel the same way when I'm winning, what's the point if I have to wait weeks for the money. Only thing I've collected are phone calls from my bank askinge to verify the charges on my card to be sure they aren't fraudulent. Anyways, I'm in a rare mood and I could go on and on. Just nice to know somebody reads my ranting. I really hope the US gets some casinos going so things will be so much more easier.

thanks for this info I was thinking of giving them a try but holding back now

I wouldn't write them off because it looks like people have different experiences with them.  This is just my personal experience.  Maybe others can add to it.

so my soap opera continues:

I'd like to start by saying I'm not technically bashing the Club World casinos...just venting I guess.  Your experience may be different than mine.

So on Monday night I switched my request to courier check.  Coincidently, I get an email from their cashier telling me my ACH info is approved on Wednesday morning.  I think to myself how the timing is just making me more inpatient.  This means I lowered my request for nothing.  it's now 2500 and instead of processing my check, they tell me my ACH info is confirmed.  Really!?!?!?  That should have been done along time ago when I first sent my faxback form in and had the whole process sorted through the first time.  It's a slap in my face as far as I'm concerned.  Checks are more of a hassle for me because once I get a check, I have to wait till it clears so assuming I get one today, my bank will place a hold for 5-10 days depending on the size of the check.  so for me, it looks like wait 7-10 days for me to receive the check and then 5-10 days for it to clear.  ACH is a much better choice but at this point, it all seems the same.  At this point, I just want it to be over.  You can't expect to put a child in a candy store by himself and not expect the child to eat all the candy thats being dangled in his face.  And to be honest, I feel like a child having a really bad tantrum.  Starting the process can't take that long....for the love of god!  If there only reasoning is that I have made more changes hindering their cashier.....they need to stop putting me in that situation and it's a lame excuse to begin with.  I'm currently at 2000 for my withdraw now.  Geez....squandered half my winnings away in a period of 2 weeks.  Up, down, up, down.....changing my request to add winnings or unfortunately taking out to try and win back some more.  I have to imagine for alot of casino players like me....sitting on 4000 in a withdraw request has got to be hard to do.  If they processed at normal speed and I recieve my money within a decent time frame, they should assume I would be a  happier customer and would return.  So in the big picture, if I got my original 3700 request within a few days, I would have been happy.  I could be on my little vacation with the family, and most likely pumping some of the winnings back to the casino.  Overall, everybody wins and they would have a happy gambler contributing money to their casino on a regular basis.  Instead, they have an annoyed customer thats growing more inpatient as each day goes by.  I have made several deposits to Manhatten and some to All Star since this all started so I think I am done with this group.  Same result but my opionion of them has gone from "reputable" to "No more reputable that any other rogue casino".  I'm not the player that deposits $20 a month.  Nothing wrong with that but I make a lot more than just a single deposit.  I make frequent deposits to all their casinos so no reason why I shouldn't be treated fairly.  I don't expect free chips but they stopped offering them to me after I won.  Prior to that, I had only gotten one anyways.  Nothing Martyn can do or say to me will change my mind.  He has yet to answer my PMs in the first place.  I'll be closing my accounts with them as soon as this is over. 

Ironically, I got a phone call from 99 Slots yesterday afternoon.  !  They were concerned I stopped playing at their casino and wanted to know what turned me away.  !  I told them why and they gave me a $10 chip as a friendly gesture to get me to start depositing with them.  WOW!  I never thought I would say this but right now, that is the treatment I expect from CW considering how much money I spend at all their casinos in the last 2 months.  I don't expect that from a rogue casino at all.  The phone rep from 99 Slots was actually nice.  I don't think I'll be falling for it but I'm just saying.

OK....done venting again.  Thanks!

okay destro i think maybe the kid in the candy store shouldnt be gambling online!!!!!  but however im sorry you had a slow experience cashing out how many days has it actually been and since you hit the last cashout button.????

Yes I do agree that online is probably not my cup of tea. I think land casinos is where I belong.  I like the free drinks and room comps that come with it.  It has only been 1 day since my last change so from that perspective, I should give it another day. On the other hand, I've given them 48 hours multiple times and given a reason why they haven't moved on it. I think my biggest issue is they have told me different things. On one occasion at the beginning of my initial withdraw, support told me they would leave a note with the cashier stating the original problem has been fixed and to process the withdraw in the morning which they never did. My initial changes occurred because I wanted to add winnings to my request. Before I did that, I made sure to contact support.  I was told it wouldn't affect the process.  Martin corrected that information in the direct support forum. For me, I tend to believe what I read in terms of casino rules. When they say most processes by next business day, I assume it will be the next business day.  I wouldn't be so annoyed if it was processing for 2 weeks. Instead it's requested for 2 weeks. Other casinos tell you up front that withdraw approval alone will take up to 7 days. I can respect that since they tell you to your face.  I work for a company that deals in payment processes for non profits so i know the overall process the casinos go through. It's not hard to process my request, instead it seems as though Im being skipped over and no matter what I do, I'm being sent to the back of the line.  If I give them the time, I get pushed back regardless.  If they only process payments twice a month or something like that, can't they just tell me that?  That's all my point is.

Thanks lips for the encouragement. It's just been one of those kind of weeks for me and I'm taking out on something I have fun with. I'm sure others have done the same so that makes me feel better. To better understand my constant changing for everybody, I started the withdrawal at 3700. It sank to 2000. As a last ditch effort, I reversed one more time and had a very good streak with a slot and got it to 4000 in request with 1500 for a balance to play with.  I should have left it that way but instead I got greedy thinking my luck would last another day. I'm now at 2000 again. I have moved on and not thinking of the withdraw anymore. I'll have no problems keeping my hands out of the cookie jar. I seem to have the luck but not the will power. I started playing elsewhere and as usual, I'm up by a good amount without using any codes so no play through to worry about. I will be good on this when it's time to withdraw.  Anybody want to buy some of my luck?  !

Hi Guy,

I'm a U.S. player and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to withdraw the money I've won from the free bonus money I was given as a new player. Any advice would be appreciated. I've pasted a copy of the email I sent to the cashier for a better explanation.

Hello,

I'm trying to cash out my bonuses with both Clubworldcasinos.com and Highnooncasino.com. The problem is that you have to have a minimum of $350 to use ACH or courier check. I have $250 bonus money in clubworld and $300 in Highnooncasino. MyPaylinq and the other wallet service that are available to US players seems to be a huge pain to get your money from (I won't go into great detail) and I've seen nothing but bad review's about them. I just don't feel comfortable using those services and I don't see why I should have to pay a service to get my money from your casino's....I didn't charge you to accept my credit card when I deposited money did I? I've withdrawn money from other gambling sites VIA ACH with no problem for under $350 and I don't understand why I cannot do it here? I'm willing to pay whatever fee it costs you to do so. Or can you combine the money from both casino's to equal $550 and ACH or send a check that way? I gotta tell you, the verification process itself was a huge pain to begin with and this is just adding to my frustration. The only reason I even tried out your casino's was because I seen a few good reviews about your customer service (which they are there and very friendly) but to me, designing a cashout system to make it almost impossible to claim your winnings from a bonus given to you, just seems a bit less than upfront to me. I've been holding off on writing my review of your casino's to see if everything turns out for the best...but I gotta tell you, my patience is wearing thin. Further more, even if I wanted to deposit more cash into your casino, I can't because I'm worried it will get mixed up with the bonus money I've won. I'm sure there is a way you can make an exception this one time to please a new (and possibly loyal) customer. PLEASE HELP!

Thank you for your time.

Hey Doeboy1023,
Your situation sounds different than mine.  You may be better off posting your question to Martyn in Direct Casino support.  Not sure if there is a way around the minimum withdraw unless you deposit more to meet the minimum.  Hope this helps you. 

Just wanted to update everyone on my withdraw request. Last Friday after some emails, My ACH withdraw was approved early in the morning. I was told it would be the standard 3 a business day wait. This is typical of any wire transfer. Well.... Today is 3 business days and I got my withdraw. This proves that casinos can process things fairly quick.  I was promised that any future withdraws will run smoothly from this point on.  Let's see what happens for future withdraws.

Happy to hear that, well done!

[hr]Withdrawal tactics for highnooncasino:

I managed to beat the playthrough of $61*40 and requested the withdrawal of $130.  I was refused this because I informed my girlfriend who also went on to attempt at her home.  My billing address is different as are all my other details, but due to us both requesting the free no deposit bonus on the same IP address I have been declined the withdrawal.

I think this is absolutely shocking, all the difference being was the same ip address but different computers, so beware.  I am extremely unhappy and wil not be using any of the world group casinos in the future.

BEWARE and always read the small print.  These guys do not list this anywhere for you're convenience.  That is a huge problem with these ND bonuses, you will always have trouble withdrawing if you meet the requirements.
