Merge Network problems?.

[Logan]

Hi.

Decide to open this to get some feed back if some are having bad experiences in Merge network lately (or good ones if that the case). A lot of forums this month are talking about Pic-Club and Merge ending relations, forums games cut in adds, cashouts taking longer lately, prizes not payed in private leagues, etc, etc.

I make a cashout from Carbon early Sept. and take the usual 72 hrs. This Monday make a Cash out from Nordica and today Friday still do not get nothing, i use Neteller so supposed to not have problems.

Win a Carbon private game yesterday, first place supposed to win a $11 ticket also, the ticket wasn't there.

Then enter here and read that one of my team mates have his account close because Carbon change support to his country, to much thinks happening lately.

So want to know if some one cash out this month from Merge, what you use and how long it takes, problems that you have, etc. Basically i want to know if we need to be worried about this.

You say you used Neteller Logan
Have you just withdrawn from Merge to Neteller or have you taken it from Neteller to another account
I know i recently withdrew and it took about 5 days to get to Neteller (i contacted support and they said it was still pending,curiously it was there next day) then about another 5 days to get to my land based bank account
Which was slower than any other time i have withdrawn

I'm worried. Still waiting for my pic club w/d to be approved. Carbon said 3-5 business days. It's been 5.

Just from Merge to Neteller Ram, after Neteller don't have any problem because use Neteller card to take out the money in any ATM, so as soon as the money is in Neteller i can withdraw to my hands.

To be true it sucks because any other site (Stars, Fulltilt, Cake network, PKR, Absolute) all go from instant to 24 hrs to be in my Neteller account, just Merge take 3 days, but now is 5 and still nothing.

From what i know Pic-Club and Merge do not work together any more.

This is from another forum.

"Dear PICClub Member,

We regret to inform you that PICClub and the Merge Network have mutually agreed to end their business relationship. Transactions to or from the rooms on the Merge Network will cease at 11:59pm October 18th, 2009 ET. This will not affect Poker Rooms on the IGS System or Big Bet Poker.

As of the sending of this e-mail if you choose to withdraw funds from any Merge Room back to PICClub, they will remain in a pending status, subject to review and approval by Merge management and if approved will only be released from the pending status when we receive the funds from the Merge Gaming Network to cover your withdrawal.

We regret the dissolution of this business relationship, however we believe it is in the best interest of PICClub and our Valued Members.

We will be contacting all of the Merge Network poker rooms to offer them PICClub services on a direct basis. If you would like to continue using PICClub with any of these rooms please make your request for PICClub service known to their management.

Once again thank you for being a PICClub member and supporting our continued efforts to provide you with a secure and trusted environment for your online bankroll.

Kindest Regards.

CEO
PICCLUB.com
Players Investment Company"

Hope that Merge don't go Down.

I use Moneybookers like an ewallet and lately Carb took 5 days for me as well when they advertise 72 hrs i believe.Carbon has been slipping lately in the sevice Dept. i think.The forum owners should know more as I have heard from some saying that Carbon is cutting back on the $$ added to the forums games.Something should be said to them about these concerns.

Yes, exactly. I got that email too. Basically Pic won't put the money in your account until the w/d is approved by merge and the funds transferred to pic club.

Well I'm still pending even after merge support said there would be no problem with the w/d and it would take 3-5 business days.

I heard that the reason pic club severed the relationship was because merge owed them too much money. So, it's a pay as you go deal now.

The CEO of Merge has made a statement about the goings on with PIC Club.

Merge Gaming CEO Anthony Taylor said “It has been brought to my attention, via comments in a public forum, that there is some confusion regarding a relationship we have with a payments provider. To be clear, it was Merge Gaming, who served notice on our agreement with Pic Club.”

The article I read also goes on to comment that Chuck Kidd, the CEO of PIC Club could be making their side of the story clearer after 27 October.

the money added to our forum games is put up by bob not carbon

[ythelongface]

imo, if you stick with carbon, you should be safe. however, if your playing on a lesser known skin of merge, that could be a problem. im not ready to give up quite yet, but we will see

[Logan]

Well, today is a week that i make the cash out and still no $ there. I talk to support and tell me that will look on that matter, so now just need to wait more

Already a week of wait so lets see how much long i need to wait.

Hope you already have better luck Frost.
