United States Players Can't Cash Out

[TomKat1958]

I see and read a lot of forums on here and other poker sites where players are so concerned about how to win and build bankrolls with the online casinos that let Americans play. It's the elephant in the room that nobody ever talks about. The fact that you can't cash out if you live in the United States. So, really, what's the fuss? I saw a post earlier that asked how Carbon Poker kept running when almost all of their guaranteed big games have way fewer players than they'd need to break even, much less be making money. How stupid of a question. One, have you ever played in a larger tourney on Carbon? Like $5K guaranteed or up? Try it and watch what happens. As soon as you get flopped a aces over anything full house, I advise you to fold it. Because you are being baited for a bad beat. Anything that looks like it's your lucky day to get such a hand will cost you your chips. Almost every single time. I'm saying this from experience, so believe me. Some player that won't chat or acknowledge anything will get quads or a straight flush and bad beat you. Go figure. Two, you simply can't cash out with them no matter how much of bankroll you build. If you get aggressive about it then you'll get locked out of their system. That happened to a good friend of mine that has over $3500 in his account with them. As soon as you try to really collect a check or transfer you will be told no, after they deduct your request from your balance.
Then if you call back and pursue collecting and want your money, you will be terminated from further activity. I'd like to hear how anybody from the United States actually cashes out anything from them. I have a balance that I'd like to withdraw from. I live in Louisiana, USA. Let me know how if you've got a method.

I've heard from many diff. ppl that cashouts work they just take some time. I've never heard of anyone being locked out before. I've said this before Carbon customer service sucks. I will never deposit or play anything except PO freerolls on there

There are alot of threads were people have cashed out! Myself personally have cashed out twice at Carbon, only 100 bucks each time, but still received a check! And it went thru the bank with no problems!! maybe u should just stick to live games!!

I've cashed out at least 7 or 8 times, most of the time somewhere around $300 each time,,, takes about 8 weeks to get the checks. The checks are from a third party in Canada and are delivered via FedEx. Maybe your friend hasn't verified his account. You must do so before getting funds out.

i cashed out 165 from merge. it took 10days to get after the withdrawl request and is currently sitting in the bank.

mo money less problems

Ridiculous. If you think the games are rigged, then you are the fool for sitting down to play. Ask anyone who cashes checks...the beats go both ways. If you think that bad beats only happen to you in the larger buy-ins and you can't handle it, then you have no business playing at all, much less taking surveys to play for free, lol.

Ive cashed out dozens of times from all of the sites that serve US players. Carbon, BCP and Bovada and they all pay. Sometimes it takes longer than expected but the checks always come and they always clear. Stay away from Lock and you should be fine.

[ddavey25]

the games are not rigged and there are numerous threads on 2+2 where people have cashed out...everything you think you know about this is false....cashouts do take longer than people would like but it is far from true that you cannot cashout if you live in the US

Updates:
This is false.
Current Carbon Cashouts --> Check = 5-10 days currently.
