Withdrawing from E-Check? Read this!

Okay, I have withdrew from e-check once and it took less than 48 hours.  I have an Global ATM card provided by e-check in which I highly recommend everyone getting because you get your money so so fast.  It is usually transferred to your ATM card in a day or less.

Well, I recently made a deposit at a Rival casino on December 14th via e-check.  I did a withdraw the same day.  First, I was told by live support to expect my money in 2-5 days via e-check.  I went back to support on the 19th to inquire about my withdraw.  I was told it would not be processed until the 28th and I should receive it 2 days after that.  I was SHOCKED!!!  They said they had to wait for the deposit of $25.00 I made on the 14th to clear e-check.

On the 20th the very next day I pulled up my e-check account and noticed at that point the $25.00 transaction had cleared and was completed.  I went back to live support and told them I had a screenshot of my e-check account showing the deposit was cleared and completed.  They said it would still not be processed until the 28th.  I was so so angry.  They said for me to email support and they would forward it to accounting.  I did this and also emailed the manager  along with the screenshot clearly showing the deposit had cleared.  

I received nothing from the casino via email not even a response.  Granted I only gave them 24 hours to answer.  So, I went to my e-check account and told them what was going on.  I asked them do they notify a casino once a deposit has cleared.  I told them I had emailed the casino with the info showing my deposit had cleared and that they still would not pay until the 28th.  E-check emailed me back rather quickly and told me they would get in touch with the rep at the casino to see if they could expedite the process.  I didn't expect anything but was hoping for a favorable outcome.  

To my surprise I received an email from e-check yesterday evening (the same day I emailed e-check) saying I had a payout from a merchant.  It was the payout I had contacted them about.  I still have not heard a word from the casino.  Not one reply to my emails and not even a payout email.

Long story short do NOT take a casino telling you it will be 12 days for a payout (which I was told from another casino on Sunday regarding another payout).  Check your e-check account, once your deposit to that casino clears contact e-check and tell them and they will contact the casino and hopefully you will receive your money the same day as I did.

On e-checks website it says withdrawals from casinos take 1-3 days.  The other withdraw I am waiting for is from a sister casino that paid me within 48 hours via e-check and that was for 4k.  The sister casino told me it would take 12 days for this withdraw.  As soon as I see my deposit has cleared e-check I will contact the casino as I did before and if that doesn't work I will contact e-check again.  From my experience it takes about 4 days for an e-check deposit to show as completed/cleared in your e-check account.

I hope this helps anyone waiting and waiting on a withdraw via e-check.  There is no reason a casino should hold our money longer than their supposed to when the deposit we made already cleared.  I am so grateful I took matters into my own hands and contacted e-check.  If I hadn't I would be waiting for a withdraw to process at least 14 days after I withdrew the funds.  

PS I want to thank Blueday for trying to help me with this matter and for taking the time to read my long repeated emails.  I was desperate and was doing all I could to get my money since my deposit had cleared.  Blueday you are fantastic and we are lucky to have you here on LCB.  I absolutely love you and what you do for this forum.

Hey, bonusroundplease, were the funds you received the ones you mentioned in your PM?  If so, WOW.  There is power in positive thinking.

I just started using echeckus.  Maybe someday I'll be getting a withdrawal processed through that method.  Thanks for the info!

Yes, it was Chilly!  I am still waiting for it to be put on my card.  I got an email saying it has processed and in the past once I got that email the funds where on my Global ATM card that day.  Fingers crossed it will be the same way!

Also, if you don't have a Global ATM card through e-check you need to get one.  It is the FASTEST way to withdraw.  If you have the Digital Wallet downloaded on to your computer from e-check you can order the card from there.  It is free.  Once you get a withdraw put on there you can use it anywhere visa or mastercard is accepted.  I think it cost 1.00 for transactions but I just withdraw all my money from the ATM so the fees are less.  It cost $2.00 to transfer the funds to your card from e-check.  If you do have a Global ATM card remember when doing a withdrawal to click on direct deposit not check.  I hope this helps and I am a big supporter of this Global ATM card!  It sure beats the $30.00 that Use My Wallet/Quicktender charges to transfer to your banking account.  Plus you can keep an eye on the whole process through e-checks website.

PS thank you so much for your positive thinking and prayers on my behalf!  They were so appreciated and it worked.  Now if I can just guarantee that my funds will be on my card by tomorrow I will be in Heaven doing my Christmas shopping!  

Dont forget that if you use echeck to deposit with another casinos, they will have to wait till all deposits by echeck to be clear before they process your payout.

bonusroundplease, I don't use my "thank you for" doing what I'm asking for prayer often.  Because it has always worked.  That may sound strange.  But it makes sense to me.  Thanks for the info on the Global ATM card as well.  I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford to deposit again, or withdraw, , but that does sound so much better than QT, etc...and fees.

We must be told different things TaaaDaaa.  When I cashed out the 4k and had it in my e-check account within 48 hours the actual deposit I made to the casino hadn't cleared yet.

I was just paid $800 because my deposit of $25 had cleared.  I still have more e-checks to clear and in both instances was paid before every e-check from different casinos were cleared.

When the deposit that I had resulted in a withdraw and I saw it cleared that is when I contacted e-check even though they and i know I have more e-checks from different casinos to clear. I was paid before the others cleared. 

Chilly, yes you are correct I am a little confused by the "thank you" part.  You can pm if you want

Glad you got it all sorted out bonus...Congrats

I am really glad that things are all taken cared of and

thanks for sharing it with us. It is a great help when members sharing their experiences

on such matters especially us,US players since it's getting really difficult for us...

Congrats on your winnings as well!!!

Talking about blue...
All I can say is that she is not only the best but an awesome friend who will always be there for everyone no matter what! 

Now I am in shock cause I thought Blue was a he!  First I thought TaaaDaaa was a she and learned she was a he and now I find out Blue who I thought was a he is a she. 

lol bonus - definitely a she.  You're not the first and you certainly won't be the last to think I'm a geezer!

Thank you for your very kind words, it's really appreciated.

@Nan - thank you too Nan for your kind words.

You're both making me blush now 

blue

Lmao!!!

You are killing me here,girl!

Ahem, well,tell you the truth, I too have thought she was he at first and it's totally blue's fault cause when I first joined, she had this avatar sort of represent male symbol and one day, when she changed it to her poker girlie avatar, I was shocked but too embarrassed to let her know...ha ha ha!

Knew about Taaa being a guy though since he seems always with his Hippo...

Bonus, you go girl, not letting them tell you any ole' thing!!! Congrats on your wins!
And thank you soooo very much for all the great info on Echeck and Global Atm! I didn't know anything about any of that! Happy Holidays!

I too have been the suspected male and suspected others of the same.  And dtsweet, well, the supposed girl who turned out to be 2 boyfriends, well, uh...well...if we didn't know, we couldn't tell!  Here's to all our disembodied LCB souls out there who aren't identifying themselves either way!

Update:  E-check funds were deposited by casino in question yesterday.  I have been calling the number on the back of my Global ATM card ALL morning long to see if the funds had been put on there yet.  This last time I called instead of saying "Please God" I said "Thank You God" like chilly said and guess what?????  The funds are on there and yes, I still have outstanding e-checks at other casinos. 

^5 to Blue........this is what i'm talking about!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

See and here I thought you were a US citizen Bonusround! I'd sure like that Global ATM card, but checked and of course, I can't get it.


I'm wondering what e-check charges for sending the money back to the bank???

I am an US citizen genenco....born and breed lol.

Then how did you get the global atm card?? Or are you in another country at the moment? Ahhh too many questions today!

No, I just requested they send me one.  I am in good ole USA.

Hrump!! I should have known! Better to ask then to not know...

This will be very interesting...Well, thanks for the info...The card sounds like a great way to avoid people finding out about wins...(If you get my drift)

Yep, and if you read my original post about not taking stalling over e-check withdrawals well it I proved my post again.

I had been waiting on a 1100.00 withdrawal since early last week and they said 12 days for withdrawal.  I noticed Christmas Eve the e-check deposit I had made to made the withdrawal had cleared so I emailed e-check from their website and asked them to contact the casino to let them know my deposit had cleared. 

They emailed me back within and hour and said they contacted the casino and hoped I would get good results.

I was SHOCKED on Christmas morning to find a message from e-check saying I got paid by a merchant.  It was my 1100.00.

AND of course I still had uncleared e-checks from other casinos.  So far they have always paid me with uncleared deposits.  Plus, when I do a withdraw as long as the e-check that resulted in the withdraw clears I contact e-check and I have been paid every time AS long as every e-check from that casino has cleared.

Hope this helps!  That card...I'm telling you is a Godsend.

This card sounds great. Are you finding that it's widely accepted by the casinos now? Or are there only certain ones on board w/this right now?

Thanks for the reports bonusround.

Your welcome!  Actually, you have to find a casino that accepts e-check....but if you are claiming a coupon at a rival casino it may say Global ATM but it's actually called e-check.  Signing up is easy and they just debit the amount from your checking account.  It usually is debited the next day or the second day for sure.  So far, I have found that the Rivals accept e-check and Casino US which is microgaming accept it also.  I would love for the RTG's to start adding it as a payment option....but as of now I don't know if any of them accept it.  Once you sign up you download a desktop application called digital wallet and that is where I ordered the card.  The card reminds me so much of my paypal debit card.  If I sold something on ebay and they paid me I could access the money right then.  When you use the Global ATM card you can just wtihdraw the funds from an atm or use it as a debit card.  When you cash out with this method just chose direct deposit and not paper check.  It's like quicktender too cause youc an leave the money in your account and deposit at another casino or transfer the money to your card, or request a check.

What I love is the customer support is FABULOUS!!!!  Plus I like the fact that I know the whole process of withdraw and deposits.  When you get paid you will receive an email saying your received a payment from a merchant.  Then if you transfer the money to your card you get another email saying transfer is approved.  I have been playing online for a long time and so far this is the best payment/withdraw method I have found.  I just love it!

wow, I withdrew by echeck on 1/24, its been only 5 business days and live support told me this,

Liz: Yes it takes almost 2 weeks for the deposits and cash outs to clear to be processed.

she told me that my withdrawal will be completed on Feb 2nd.  It's a long wait for this withdrawal method.

I pmed you taaadaaa

  Bonusround- Congrats to you, and thanks for the info. I can't use my Echeckus account right now, because big mess I'm trying to clean up again. But I have a black Stealth card that I haven't activated yet. I couldn't load the Global Atm, support at Echeckus told me at the time I didn't need it. Do you suppose, once my account back in good standing, I could withdraw to card without Global Atm? Probably huh? First things first.   

I have a question.  I deposited with echeck and want to withdraw the money I won,  I just want it put into my bank account, so do I request check or direct deposit?

Request check!  Good luck and congrats!
