From reading around at different forums I think the consensus is that the "safest" places to have your money right now for US poker players is ACR, BCP and Bovada-
worst ones are Lock, Carbon and Juicy
seems to me that your friends account had something attached to it and may have marked for either cheating or something of verbal abuse. I have never heard of any site not allowing a cash out for a US player. Think there is more to it but just my opinion.
I got my 1st LOCK payout quick and then my other COs took longer
i had a lock cashout for well over 4months. i ended up selling it via p2p for a big loss. gave up on lock after that
just from my experience:
intertops very fast cashouts
pokerhost very fast cashouts
bovada good cashouts
ipoker very fast cashouts
i got a pretty quick carbon cashout, roughly a week and a half. dont know what all the bad mouthing is but seems to work for me
carbon use to take 30days or sometimes longer... they have gotten much better recently... People are getting checks in 1-2 weeks it seemsQuote:

I really don't get all the posts about sites not paying out. All the sites on Merge, Revolution, and Winning networks all pay, sometimes it can take a long time to process your first withdrawl, but the players that commonly withdraw find that the speculation that their transactions stir up become less common as the staff needs to vette less info each time to process the request. This lack of patience is probably why poker seems more frustrating to the same players who complain about cash-out times.
lock is the real bad culprit.. unfortunately.. many may never get there money off.. read 2p2 lock cashout threads
no.. here in the usa we have no guarentees ...... lock is deffinetly not payin out and prob wont.. I know several pros.. who cant get thousands off.. I know lots of rec players.. who cant get hundreds off... read 2p2 forums on lock cashouts... bummer for themQuote:

OP; Are you referring to Carbon only, Merge Network, or ANY US PLAYER ACCEPTING SITES?
Just wanted to make sure your talking about Carbon only.
I personally have cashed out quite large sums through Bovada numerous times, never had any problems or delays & they are always right on time or even a day or so early sometimes. (Check by Courier - Get 1 FREE Check per month!)(I follow their "guidelines" for depositing the checks & they clear in 24 hours or less.) Even won a IPAD MINI from them awhile back & got it several days sooner than they said also.
I've also received checks from Bet Online several times for $500 or so here & there, also with no problems at all.
I even got an $8997 check from Grand Parker Casino last year. (They gave me a $100 free chip with a ridiculous 1500X roll over for signing up & I murdered them at the SLOTS!) Hit 3 jackpots for over 5K, 1 for 2K & change, and 1 for 3K & change!!!! Of course I lost a little over half that making the Roll Over Requirement but still they sent me that check for almost 9 GRAND! All off a $100 Free Chip ROFL, I honestly thought they would never send me the $$$ in a million years. Bout had a heart attack when it came LOL.
But enough bragging & back to the US player Poker payouts; I've gotten all the above mentioned POKER SITE payouts tons & tons of times by way of Check by Courier & here is the MOST IMPORTANT PART: I live in Kentucky, one of, if not THE WORST & MOST STRICK OLP States in the Country & I've (Knock on Wood) never had any problems getting my $$$ or cashing/depositing the checks from those sites I talked about.
Carbon maybe a different story. I've yet to try & verify my account there & they do not even accept players from my state unless you say you are on an Active Military Base LOL but you can check a box during registration saying the Military thing & then put a KY address in & get accepted WTF is up with that ?!? Got a feeling they will try & cheat me out of my winnings so I only play Free Rolls there & Generally DO NOT deposit on ANY site. There are just to many ways to grind out a BR w/o sending these sites $$$ ya know! Anyways; Good Luck with your cashout!
Excellent point! As I posted a minute ago I've made withdraws on many different sites countless times & always get paid on time, if not a day or two early. (Knock on Wood)-Never had a problem yet..... Going on 2&1/2 years now.Quote:

FOR OP: There are a couple of 3rd party websites that HONESTLY Rank/Rate all the OLP networks/sites over a variety of topics including Payout Speed, Options, and Related Fees plus others like Quality Ratings, Site Traffic, Players Skill Levels, Visual Appeal & much, much more. Just GOOGLE; US Online Poker Site Ratings or Rankings & you'll find them. I just don't know if it is ok for me to promote them by name here.
Got to love canada, no worries what so ever :)
iv heard that too..it takes a while....but iv also herd its illage in the usa so i guess they really dont have too pay you..if thats the case.
I just recently started playing at Bovada I place 3rd in a tourney and won 250. Cashed out and it only took 8 days to receive the check. Was very happy about that.
ive never cashed out there but then again have never tried i just enjoy the game and as TheHaversham said bad beats go both ways
Im waiting for a check now for 3 weeks.... I'll keep my fingers crossed but don't count on doodly squat
If your check is coming from Carbon then I am 100% sure you will get it. I have cashed out there and know many others who have also cashed out.
Dude we got a bigger problem then rig and cash out. the man got an elephant in his room! why nobody talking abouut that. how old is your elephant and it is legal to own an elephant in Louissiana:?
yup playin in USA sucks......need to stop this madness!
that sounds very positive and promissing credsfan... thanks for encouraging remarks
not sure what you're calling the elephant in the room.... DuckU... explain... ????
ppl do cashout maybe something wrong with your account
This sounds encouraging.... I am waiting for my first time.... Seems that several US players testify they have cashed successfully... I had a live chat with Carbon last night.... they're telling me that my problem is that Louisiana is not a state on their cash out account list... but they told me to send some additional information and they'd email a response in a couple of days...
I have a question. Why do they say not to accept any bonus from the poker websites? I have been told not to accept any but, No one has really explained why I shouldn't . I was hoping one of you poker masters could tell me. I thought that's how most people chose there poker site ( well at least me) by seeing who offered the best bonuses ?
I never have had a problem cashing out but havent had to inquite awhile ...lol
if you are in a state merge doesn't allow.. the only way to get cashouts is via 2p2 xfers.. but only merge skin that offers that is poker host. your prob better off playin on intertops, or bcp I guess. unless u want to ever the vpn world
yeah... they're not gonna let me cash out as long as I live in Louisiana
i know some poker players here in the states that have cashed out but it takes a long time to do it (3 to 6 months)
I have personally seen a K come from Bovada in 5 business days like they said (7 actual days)
Im gonna keep on playing for practice even if I can never cash out a dime.
I did finally get an email from Carbon that said I could request a check, but no wire transfers to my state, Louisiana... they haven't kicked me out... but I've never received a check from them at all
Greedy bee withdraw on bcp and he got a check rather quickly so I'm happy we can still withdraw I'm slowly getting there at 5.70 on bcp 1.25 on bovada and a worthless 413 on jcy
juicy got new owners so they will be processing $$$ again very soon
Yea this is FALSE I cashed out and received check in 8 days!!
Juicy got new owners huh? That must be why Intertops is joining them!
So people are actually getting paid from Juicy????
I've played in a lot of free rolls in the last couple of years.The problem is no one folds in these things you go all in with AA someone hits the miracle straight wheel with A2.you get enough suck outs like this you can't help but think this has got to be rigged.though pokes is a game of skill luck plays a major part to,this is why i think the best route in poker is the moneymaker route win a sattelite get in abig tourney see
what happens.
