Was this the cake poker room from the old cake network? With cake i had no problems in the past, they Need certainly 2-4 after the id-check. They want a copy from your passport or a other official document before you can do the first withdraw.

Yep. This is the non US facing part of the former Cake Poker room. The US part is Juicy Stakes. There are a lot of complains about slow cashouts and high fees in the last few years there. Every room that still accepts players from the US has to work in a grey area.

shokaku is right, cashouts there take couple of days(many times a week or a bit more).
Still the biggest problems si that they are in a situation identical to FTP or stars had on black friday of poker, it means you can expect anyday to lose all your money that you have there.

Not the fastest payouts but they are paying for sure. Just use online wallets to speed up the process. And so far it is a pretty far solid poker site. They are up there for too long and they have a fairly good traffic.
Macubaas is wrong talking about the same story as FTP. They are not accepting USA players for some time now, so there is nothing to worry about it.

That network DOES accept players from the US! As i said before, Cake itself was split into two rooms. One Juicy Stakes)j for US players and one (Wincake) for the rest of the world. But they are in the same network.

Another thing the network and another the poker sites that belong to it. Now if the network you are talking about with Juicy poker belongs to Cake i dont know how things may end up there. But WinCake indeed doesnt accept players from USA.
