Hey everyone!
As you may have read earlier, I'm having some financial troubles due to various circumstances that I wasn't the least bit prepared for. This left me with absolutely no money at all to buy Christmas presents. My only hope was to grow my bankroll and cash it out in time to buy all the presents. I set a goal for myself in the beginning of November to grow my $5 bankroll to $200 and cash it out at the 10th of December. I figured that would give me enough time to get the money and buy the presents.
Now, here's how it went: First off, I got a decent roll going turning my $5 into $25. Then I won the safe and cashed out my mobpoints for a nice $50 boosting my bankroll to $75. And by the 10th of December I made the cashout that I so desperately needed! The cashout was for $206.65!!!
I'm just waiting for my cashout to arrive sometime next week. I never would have made it without the bankroll boost that I got from those $50 from BRM. I can't even begin to tell you guys how happy I am! BRM actually saved my whole Christmas!!!
So thank you BRM for everything you're doing for us members, thank you for everything!! I really mean it, from the bottom of my heart!!!

Congratulations man for realizing your goal. This is a real christmas story and it is always nice to hear something like that happening to a fellow mobster, especially at that time of the year. So enjoy christmas and good luck.

Nice one. You would have been a little bit out of target but still with more time to go if it wasnt for the BRM points. But no matter what you reached your goal and that is important for many reasons. Satisfaction is one of them Having some gifts for Xmas is another one Merry Christmas from me too.

Thanks everyone! And yeah, Santa did indeed come early to me this year Now I'm just a little bit worried that the money won't arrive on time... I mean, I cashed out the 10th and it's now the 15th and still nothing from my bank about an upcoming transfer...
I'm probably just paranoid, it should be arriving within this week but in case it doesn't I get my next salary on the 23rd so I could in the worse case scenario just borrow some money from that until my cashout appears and do some very late last minute shopping

Bank transfer take a while and some times you may lose the ball, in back and forth looking for your money. It is better using an ewallet for poker sites. A lot more faster. And both neteller and moneybookers have prepaid cards which you can use anywhere. that of course if it is available in your country.

Did you get an email saying that they processed your cashout? Because sweden is part of the EU bank transfers shouldn't take more than 2 business days at max becasue of the SEPA-ruling (not sure if it applies for sweden too but I'd believe it does). Usually if I cash out via bank transfer on a wednesday it'd be there thursday afternoon or friday at latest.
And also as mober wrote, start using an e-wallet (preferably skrill) and order a skrill prepaid mastercard, you pay 1.80€ per ATM withdrawal but you'll hold your cash in your hands a few hours after your cashout (or in the case of pokerstars, about 10 minutes after your cashout )
