Withdrawal Symptoms

I have never actually tried to cash out from my gutshot account before (can anyone guess why?)

So, in light of last night's win and in anticipation of needing to do so in the future, I actually withdrew some dollars to test it out - and it worked !

Obviously it should work, but it can prove tricky to get money off online gaming venues. I found this out recently when I deposited $500 at partypoker. Not to play poker, in fact, but as a stake to use in their casino as part of an experiment Jim wanted to try out.

So, we did that, then I wanted to take the money back off to use it elsewhere. Party rejected my request saying that it wasn't the purpose of the online cashier function to transfer money in and out and that I had not clocked up enough "play" to validate my request.

I queried this - saying that fairly self-evidently that WAS the purpose of the cashier and that clearly I should be able to withdraw MY money - especially money that I had not even won.

To be fair, they did then allow the transfer, and urged me to understand that they policy was to protect one and all. I suppose it is to do with anti-money laundering measures, although withdrawing my own money back to where it came from wouldn't be a very effective laundering technique anyway.

Anyway, I have put in a request to increase my withdrawal limits in the hope I shall need them ....
