Blonde poker - withdrawing cash

[Nem]

When I withdrew from Betfair they asked for all my details and they pay back straight onto my debit card. All sites will pay back to a UK debit card, US based sites included.

Nemesis, that isnt correct, I deposited via debit card with Titan and I now have to wait 21 days to get a cheque, withdrawing to the debit card was not an option.

I am very surprised. They can but they don't want to >:?

Some countries don't allow it but the UK is on the safe list.

Dont lump all the US sites together. I have never had this problem at stars/UB or Party.. and I have withdrawn multiple sums of large amounts from those sites.

I thought it was common practise to review a sites deposit/withdrawal policies before opening an account. At least, its something I spend about 2 minutes of my time doing.

I had a look, and within 20 seconds found this:

which clearly states the requirements of debit/credit card deposit/withdrawal policies.

If people don't do this before opening an account, then thats OK, but it strikes me as a bit futile to complain about a companies policy when its there in black and white if you bothered to spend a second or two researching this.

Exactly Nemesis, this should not be a problem in this day and age but this company do not allow this, to be honest its silly.

see, I was thinking that. I could easily go to a HU table with a friend, dump the $70 to them, log out, log back in on BlueSq and they could pass them back.

not saying I would but  I could

I wouldnt obviously, but I could

Adam, you wouldnt be the first and you wont be the last.

dont be patronising totalise.
fact is because it's not a problem I've ever encountered and the fact it has the word BLONDE across, making is a trusted brand to me I didnt forsee a problem. If there is a need to register a card it should be BEFORE deposit, not after. it's a con to do anything else

I play mostly on Ladbrokes and Pokerstars because I can withdraw easily from them. I do use other sites occassionally, usually because Blonde are doing something there.

That is a fair point totalise. The new bigger US sites have updated their payment and withdrawal methods. The small ones havent, im afraid that is why it pays to stick to the bigger ones.

That's why I'm not too worried about it, It will get sorted!

[Wardonkey]

Totalise, I agree with what you are saying. We should all read the T+Cs before depositing. BUT we don't, because they are boring and we are lazy.

If a site requires an unusual amount of info for verification, which requires an unusual amount of work from the depositor then it would be polite to point this out more clearly. A message such as 'You may deposit using this card but before you withdraw you will need to register your card. the process is described here (link)' is the least they could do.

[AdamM]

sounds resonable, we could make an informed choice then

To be honest Red dog, the only reason I have an account with Titan and Blondepoker is the association these sites have with this site and the people involved, I am in no way pointing fingers at anyone other than the sites themselves who have failed to realise that a growing % of their clients(and unfortunetely a big % in Blondepokers case) will use UK debit cards for deposits AND withdrawing.In some cases they allow you to do one but not the other, doesnt make sense.
