  • Been waiting for a check to be processed since January 27th.  Have been in contact with a rep for some time.  Always getting the run around.  Last week I got an email from this Rival and was told there was a problem with the checks and i should expect it in a few days.  Well a few days has gone by and i now got an email that says their processor went out of business and now ACH & Checks are not an option.  Well the problem is, I am in the US.  I only play on casinos that offer checks, ACH, wires because I DO NOT use 3rd party processors such as wallet or QT.  I am not going to open one either.  This is really crazy because i joined this casino on their ability to process checks.  I guess I kiss my $1,000.00 goodbye?

  • Just curious why you are not going to use a third party processor? A $1000 win is alot of money to just give back.  sad

    (I mean no disrespect in my question.)

    I know there was some talk about Rival casinos and their limited way they payout now.

    I am so sorry for your situation.  It seems your caught between a rock and a hard
    place.

  • PMM there probably is a reason for this...

    rival casinos are the worst of the worst and now not being able to issue cheques is simply scandalous.

    As you may recall my problem, $1000's lost at rivals and 1 of the times i manage to meet wr and request a cashout I selected moneybookers and since i paid via card it gave the error "you can only withdraw to the method used to deposit"

    So this guy is probably in the same boat, at the time as well "cheque" was not an avaliable option.

    You may as well say card depositors at rival casinos are playing for free because no cheques can be made. They cant put your money back on your card and you cant request payment to moneybookers or any other E-wallet unless you have deposited via that method.

    So the answer is yes this guy can kiss his money goodbye unless he opens a moneybookers account... verifys his card to use with them (takes up to a week and they take a small deposit from your bank and you enter to code to verify the card) then deposits to the casino in question and withdraws the entire amount of money to moneybookers

  • i just hate using a 3rd party.  I never have.  I joined the casino on their ability to issue checks.  I guess i will have to get ewallt express if i want my money.  Does anybody know if on ewallet express if you can just simply set up the account then withdraw my money from the casino or do I need to make a deposit into ewallet express thru my checking account first?

  • In my experience I believe you have to make a deposit with ewallet express before you can withdrawl thru ewallet express.

    That is the casino's rule, not ewallets.

    Many of us are familar with ewallet so let us know if you need help.

    The worst part about the ewallets are the fees.

    I started going to checks to avoid that, but now Rival wont send checks.  >:(

                                                                            PMM

  • yea you have to deposit with it, as i mention, the only way to deposit is obviously if you have your payment card linked to your ewallet, which means they take a small amount out of your card account, you get a 4 or so digit code next to the transaction you must enter in the ewallet to verify your card, then you can make payments


  • i just hate using a 3rd party.  I never have.  I joined the casino on their ability to issue checks.  I guess i will have to get ewallt express if i want my money.  Does anybody know if on ewallet express if you can just simply set up the account then withdraw my money from the casino or do I need to make a deposit into ewallet express thru my checking account first?


    I too hear you loud and clear. I also was "Lured" into playing for this very reason regarding checks and such.

    Now with this BS that they are claiming, I just really feel that either I find a RTG I can trust, or just give up online gaming and go back to "South of the border" (Oregon VLT's) and play there.

    Sure, worse odds, but at least I get my money so fast it leaves all onlines in the dust.
  • yea thats it geneco...

    rivals are 100% to be avoided... they are the lowest of the low, the worst casino type ever known.

    The "luring" got me too, as i mention in another post... i dont use e-wallets, but before i deposited at a rival i assumed that since they accept payments via cards they would pay me back on my card or at least another method of my choice...

    deposited 10k in under 2 years at rivals...and it was only recently when i was questioning the tightness of the games that i tried to cashout $100, on the withdrawl screen cards werent there, cheque wasnt there so upon trying moneybookers the error came up that i couldnt... pfft.. waste of time

  • I have cashes out via check once at this casino 2 months ago.  This second check request was in limbo for 30day + until they told me that they cant process checks.  I deposited via Debit Card, but they had better let me withdraw via a wallet(even though i didnt deposit with one) because this is the only option available now to withdraw.

  • ......since they accept payments via cards they would pay me back on my card...


    I'm wondering why you would have assumed this since it's been stated on casino websites for the last several years that they CANNOT pay out winnings to credit cards.

    I'm also wondering why you guys are so suspicious about the alternative funding accounts, i.e., QuickTender/UseMyWallet, eWallet, etc?  These types of accounts are wonderful & make the entire process soooooo much easier.  I've been gambling online for over 10 years & have never had a prob with any of them.

  • ......since they accept payments via cards they would pay me back on my card...


    I'm wondering why you would have assumed this since it's been stated on casino websites for the last several years that they CANNOT pay out winnings to credit cards.


    1) I dont have a "credit card" I have a "debit card" its a different thing, Im not borrowing money to pay back the following month. the money in my account is 100% mine.

    2)  I think you'll find 99% of casinos pay to credit/debit cards... every other software provider i have played at recently (3dice, playtechs, MG's,) have payed with no problems to my card.

    3) It was common sence to me. I never thought a casino would say "no problem there... give us your money, pay us as much as you want with your card... lose as much as you want but if you win you wont ever get paid"... They had the debit card logos there so I never thought otherwise. Of course now I know different about rivals.


    onto payment processors... some like em... some dont... I for 1 dont... If your like me and barely gamble anymore theres no point setting up an ewallet account...waiting days for your card to be verified etc. Then theres the fees they take for withdrawing. Fair enough its only a few bucks... but the way I see things is its my money. My winnings. I risked it so every last cent or pound is rightfully mine to spend
  • I also use a debit card, but it's the same thing with debit/credit cards.  I can't speak as to Playtechs, but I know for a fact that MGs have not been paying back to debit/credit cards for several years now - at least not in the US.


  • If your from the USA Sparkz then there is no way any casino will pay back to your credit,debit or prepaid card.

    Its in there terms and conditions. Even back before 2006 before all the UIGEA took place most if not all casinos still didn't payout back to your cards.

    Now alot of casinos are not processing withdrawls by check either, i can understand if you personally don't like any ewallets but it is the best and fastest option.

    Tony



    Im in the UK though, All casinos have always paid back onto my card except rivals, in all my years of playing the only time i couldnt cashout to my card was at mansion casino... that was only because I was playing in $'s and their payment processor for cards couldnt send money as dollars to a UK account... But then did me a bank transfer instead.....

    that was where the rival confusion came from... if every other casino i have played at can and have paid me back on my card then theres no reason for a rival to not be able to. Its just unfair on your UK gambler. Since most E-wallets are not UK based or used that often by people in the UK (except paypal for ebay uses) 90% of UK depositors will make their deposits via their card.

    Rival casinos make no effort to rectify that they wont pay anyone by card. Many show check as a withdrawl method still and all of them show card as a deposit option. The least they could do is let someone who deposited via card cashout to an e-wallet without having to deposit via that method.

    I remember when I asked support at 1 rival about this and they said something like "well you cant get your money then"...

    Its just like if you buy something at a shop and then go back to return it a week later and they say "sorry you paid on your card... no refund for you". In that case the shop would be breaking the law and would have trading standards and consumer rights agencys all over them like a rash.

    Im not 1 to agree that ewallets are the fastest. To spend the money on non gambling related material (things from town for example) that money has to be in your bank for you to withdraw so you can literally hold the notes in your hands... With 3dice (the fastest paying casino) I made an instant moneybookers withdrawl. Then cashed it from moneybookers into my bank account. They charged $3 to withdraw to my bank... it took a total of 4 working days before the money was in my bank.

    I made a withdraw 2 days later of nearly the same amount to my card. This time it wasnt processed instantly by 3dice. It took about 2 hours before it was fully processed. Of course no fees and less than 3 days (2 working days) later it was in my bank ready to withdraw
  • It seems there is some confusion here.

    Vegas Regal Casino is very clear and honest in our dealings. You can find it on our site that we DON'T pay to credit cards or debit cards. Expecting something we explicitely say we can't do seems unreasonable.

    We DO however offer several payout options for US and worldwide players. We DO pay. We would NOT take a deposit if we couldn't. Now, we might not be able to pay to your card, and right now due to various issues BEYOND our control we can't pay via check. But there are other options.

    Plus we pay all players, every time, on time. So I don't know why this thread basically reads as if we were rogues that would steal money. I would NOT work for an organization that isn't 100% honest.

    If you have any other questions about Vegas Regal Casino and our software provider Rival, please feel free to PM me. If you wish for a follow up from me on this thread, it is just a matter of a PM and I will make an official statement. Thank you for your time.

  • Well Nic, I know you say "This is beyond our control" but then again, I would think you'd want a good solid 3rd party processor shipping out the checks. Regarding the ACH, is that the same thing sort of or a whole different kettle of fish.

    I know some things are not ever "Mentioned" but as to "Why" is on everyones lips and silence from one side leaves a lot of questions and assumptions open.

    I believe in the past "Flushing" an account was doable. Now it cannot. How to see this or understand? Some casinos process in 24 or less, many do not. It's just that previous to this, jumping through a hoop or two was ok, now we're back to 3-5 hoops and it's just that I believe alot of gamblers are just getting tired of all this when it's by far easier to deposit.

    I know, you cannot control what other casinos do, but to be different, quick and timely seems to be the last thing on many casinos minds or intent.

    I still like VRC, I do, but as one who is not seeing any good signs coming forth from any of the plethora of online casinos, I am disheartened by what has occured recently.

  • From my comments I was merely suggesting my experiences... We all know vegas regal pays since many many many people have had payments.

    Im not doubting if rivals pay... im saying for example (many rivals dont say they dont pay via cards...) the true fact.... Some people could not have an e-wallet. Maybe because they dont like them? maybe because they want to handle their money direct in and out of their bank? maybe they cant get an e-wallet for whatever reason?...  that would mean no withdrawls for them.

    Next even if they had an e-wallet they could be in a similar situation to what i was in (dont use it often, never make deposits with it) and then make a card deposit... only to find out after they cant withdraw to their e-wallet because they havent deposited with an e-wallet.... the least that could be done is to give card players an option to withdraw to an e-wallet without having to use that e-wallet to deposit.

    Maybe the reason behind that is to do with fraud? but in reality if someone uses for example a moneybookers account with exactly the same email address they registered at the casino with its unlikely to be fraudulent...

    if a card player however makes 1 deposit via their ewallet in order to withdraw to the e-wallet its going to look a lot more fraudulent... and also wont that be costing the casino extra money in ewallet processing fees?

    saying "sorry, we accept cards but cant pay to them" or similar is misleading to the thruth because it should read "sorry, we accept cards but cant pay to them, and you wont be able to withdraw to an e-wallet unless you deposit via an e-wallet"

  • @ genenco
    It is good you ask these questions as it gives us a chance to address them. I will try to deal with them one by one:



    To be honest, we lost our check processor. We do aim to gain 'solid 3rd party processors' and we are constantly getting them on board. But even the most solid processor can fall. Even HUGE brands like BoDog have lost money with processors (most recently they lost $24 million). Trust me, if we could have a processor that never failed, I would be the first to jump with joy. Until then, we simply need to get a new processor when one of our existing ones goes down, and continue working to make sure we have plenty of back up processors to deal with all eventualities.



    Depending on our exact setup ACH/Checks can be processed by the same company or different ones. In public I can't give exact details of our processors, but if you want extra info, feel free to hit me up via PM and I will do my best to explain as much as possible.



    Because unfortunately there are many legislative restrictions associated with gaming (not only from the US) that make getting and keep processors a tough job.



    At Vegas Regal Casino we would never take away the option to Flush. We believe this is a good thing for players and have no intention of taking it away.



    Some casinos I'm sure don't care. We do. smiley We value your business very much, and we will do everything we can to show that in actions, not only words.

    [quote]I still like VRC, I do, but as one who is not seeing any good signs coming forth from any of the plethora of online casinos, I am disheartened by what has occured recently.


    I completely understand. That is why I'm hopping this industry becomes much more regulated.

    This is not the same as player's not being able to withdraw. We need to make a distinction between 'cannot' and 'do not want to because of x,y or z PREFERANCE'. If a player does not want to withdraw via ACH, Ewalletxpress, usemywallet, or any other option given to him/her, that is their prerogative.

    We make it clear that they can't withdraw to their credit card. If the options we give are something they don't like then that is not something we can control. It is like me signing up to paypal and complaining they don't bring the cash to my door. They have rules, and I read them before I signed up, so I know what options I have. But I do have options, and that is what matters.

    [quote]maybe they cant get an e-wallet for whatever reason?...  that would mean no withdrawls for them.


    Ok now this is serious. If we have players that live in a region where they can deposit, but have NO WAY of cashing out, then we would be rogue.

    In fact, we recently lost the ability to pay all Israeli players (we could still receive deposits, but no longer pay). We have no options to pay them. THE VERY day we lost the option to pay Israeli players, we stopped taking their deposits. We had to remove all Israeli players from our casino. Of course we paid via corporate accounts to those who had money in their balance, but we no longer accept deposits from players of this country since we can't use our processors to pay them.

    Tell me a region we currently accept deposits but have NO WAY of paying. There isn't any. But if there was, it would be a major issue since it would basically make us a rogue operation. And that is something we will never be.

    [quote]Next even if they had an e-wallet they could be in a similar situation to what i was in (dont use it often, never make deposits with it) and then make a card deposit... only to find out after they cant withdraw to their e-wallet because they havent deposited with an e-wallet.... the least that could be done is to give card players an option to withdraw to an e-wallet without having to use that e-wallet to deposit.

    You are absolutely right that those restrictions are due to fraud and money laundering compliance laws. Unfortunately gambling is a activity that attracts illegal activity such as money laundering/credit card fraud. We are looking into improving our process, but there are many restrictions we need to consider before such a change can take place.

    [quote]saying "sorry, we accept cards but cant pay to them" or similar is misleading to the thruth because it should read "sorry, we accept cards but cant pay to them, and you wont be able to withdraw to an e-wallet unless you deposit via an e-wallet"


    Fair enough. We will change our website to be much more specific for people that deposit via a credit card. As others have stated in this thread, it is quite common in the industry (especially for US facing casinos). But you are right, we can be more clear and therefore we will. Thank you very much for the suggestion. Please PM me your account so I can put a $100 free chip in there as a thank you for your valuable suggestion!
  • Thanks Nicolas..good to have you back. This is a crazy time for both the casinos and the players. I hate it..casinos are on guard with players and probably processors and players are on guard with casinos.

    I do understand the frustration casinos are going through at this time, but please understand us players also.

    All we are looking for is entertainment, we entrust our money to an outfit online we think we can trust. We like to trust but always on the lookout for changes. If a Rep does not show up for awhile and rules are suddenly changed, we are getting scared that maybe we trusted the wrong place. Nobody likes to be taken.

    Even though I like the free chips, I would rather deposit with no bonus  in a casino that I could completely trust to be there when needed.

    I do understand that you get busy and can't always reply, but it would be nice to show your presence and to let us know that you are busy and will be back.

    Disappearing for over a week will just let minds wonder if everything is okay and may cause bad vibes.

  • excellent, thanks for clarifying a few things cheesy

  • Hey BMWSTACK,

    I know that with UseMyWallet you can set up an account without making a deposit from your checking account, unlike Ewalletexpress.

    I hope this helps.

    Shelli


  • OMG!!! Nicolas I am very SORRY and APOLOGIZE about "No flushing" part. I admit I NEVER checked with YOU the, person who would give a straight answer.

    Having heard this I will NOT reject playing at your casino now. Again, I APOLOGIZE for this erronous statement and regret "Assuming" that because what one rival does, that all are like this.

  • Thanks for letting us know this,i won't be dep thier if they don't pay

  • No need to apologize guys. I'm the one who owes you all an apology. I promise to be more communicative if I'm going to take time where I won't be visiting the forum. smiley (which shouldn't happen often)
