Our deposit to poker room are instant. Poker room trust us but when we need to withdraw, I feel that poker room stop to trust us.
Why it is so easy for them to take our cash but so long to give it back when we need it ?
The faster withdraw time was with party poker GoPlay card. Cash was available after some hours, it was very fast.
But this card is not available anymore in my country.

A poker room is possible for verification, but in general I also think that the withdrawal should instant, possibly due to delays in banks during the transfer.

Withdrawals to e-wallets should be instant though. Some sites actually do that kind of transfers literally in 5 seconds or less ...

I also think that everything should be done in a couple of clicks! but it is faster to withdraw to an electronic wallet than to a visa

I don't know if it's for everyone, but here in my country I receive instantly my cashouts in poker stars (no matter which method I use, e-wallet or my bank account). ACR/BCP I receive after a couple of hours or in 24hs maximum. 888poker takes 2-3 days to pay.

I find it obvious why they do this.
Its like verifications.

They dont care who i am when i deposite.

But when i wanna withdraw, then they need all sorts of identifications.

I live in denmark, and we use a identification system that only i can make. So in my case, they damn well know IT IS me.
But even still, they want photo id and all sorts of stuff..
They hope people get tired of unlocking it, so they just become endless depositors.

Ive had about 300$ worth of winnings on my account dwindle to 98$
Because i gradually spend from it.

Which i wouldnt have done if i could withdraw instantly.

Now im authenticating to put this sharade to an end.

But there you go. Thats why they do it.

They always check your account better than withdrawing money.
In most places, you can deposit without verifying yourself, there you will have a problem with the withdraw of most of the time, this is my experience.

I withdrew money from pokerstars today and after about 1 hour it was in my skrill account.

Unfortunately Skrill isn't available in all countries :( Skrill was available for transactions with online gaming sites in canada up until I think ~2015. It was great! Pretty much instant.
Bank Transfer works well but it's still a couple of days before you see your money in your account.

I think I should be taller. I also think you should trust me more than you do.

At PokerStars the withdrawal is instantaneous, using the pix mode, it doesn't take even 1 hour, just a matter of minutes, it's already deposited into the account.

It's pretty clear why it's not instant. They do have laws to abide by. For example I'm sure they take a quick look at your account to make sure there isn't money laundering. Also they probably have hundreds or even thousands withdrawing at the same time. I'm personally ok with waiting a day or 2 for my money, not a big deal to me.

I play at bodog and the deposits are instant but the first withdrawals take up to 48 hours to be made, the more withdrawals they make, the faster they are
