click2pay = kaput for US

click2pay has stopped processing withdrawals (of any sort) for US customers. It used to just be they were allowing only wire transfers.

They are still allowing ewallet funds to be used for casino purchases.

Rumor has it that it there may be problems in funding the ewallet from your bank account, and some casinos may have already started denying transactions.

Anyway, I inquired with a couple of microgaming casinos that usually had quick payouts, and asked if I would be able to make a withdrawal via a method other than c2p. When they said yes, I deposited cash, played it over like 2x (on big bets), and requested withdrawals to my ecocard account. Am keeping fingers crossed that I'll be able to rescue a couple grand out of the ewallet this way.

Ick.

I just checked, and it looks like they're still processing Canadian customers. I don't know if c2p allows peer-to-peer transfers, but if they do, it might be worth investing in a case of beer. =)

So far, I've been using Moneybookers. They're okay, but they do have a ~$2 service charge for withdrawals (bleh), and Intercasino doesn't use them.

Hrm-- I wonder if it's worth pooling your money together with a bunch of US players, and opening your own internet bank. Set it up off shore, allow US players to fund gambling accounts, and roll in the cash.

Woot.

I just had payouts from three different MG casinos hit my ecocard account. So it looks like my "laundering" method was successful, and I even won a couple hundred more than EV in the process!

Now I need to figure if I want to drain c2p entirely, as ecocard still doesn't work with the couple of remaining RTG's that I like to beat up on.

Personally, I'd drain it all except for your bonus buy-in. Why risk another Neteller-esque freeze****?

If everyone does this, at the very least, seeing a few hundred million dollars in interest-generating assets dissapear should teach c2p a lesson in screwing with online gamblers.

Well, I anticipate at least 1 casino where i am not bonus-banned yet, and I can use c2p, but not ecocard... so I'll probably use c2p there in the near future. A couple other casinos are iffy.

I'll probably go back to funding from c2p "as usual". No more straight gambling, only playing when I have some some of bonus to whore. But just continue to attempt cashouts via alternate methods. That should drain it in fairly short order.

Now I wonder when ecocard is going to close.
