I hear ya precious_woman!
It is tough! I never take a deposit bonus at CWC because of the tourneys. (this withdrawal is from a "we miss you" bonus, because I went 1 week without depositing, 1 week! See, they know, and expect to see me there almost everyday!) I do use them at their sister sites. Even using a bonus, I have only cashed out once at one of the other sites. LuckyRed, about a month or so ago. Never at any of their other sites. No wait, I think I had one from Aladdins, a few years ago. So, naturally, I want to play at the one I have a chance, well, better chance at winning at.
It is just too frustrating. I rely on winnings to keep playing. Preferring not to spend too much if I don't have those winnings to draw from. So, if my cash outs are delayed, for whatever reason, I am in limbo. By my own accord, of course, but, just the way I do it.
It just feels like to me, that we, as patrons don't really matter to them unless we are depositing........... if we are withdrawing......... it's a "we'll get to it when we can" sort of thing.
Carey, I know we have few other options, but, I can't help thinking they know that too....... all too well. I.E. "They are in the US, they expect slow payouts". Not saying this IS the case, just that it could be and how would we know if it was? We wouldn't.
Just my take........... for what it's worth! 2c
