I'm just wondering, as my initial $10 free play didn't go so well [it isn't always easy build on such a low amount] , if it's worth a deposit to try again to reach the points to level up? I kinda like the software, but I've had bad experience on Merge sites before. I won some money on Walker poker, after depositing numerous times, and it took them 2 weeks!?!?! to process my withdrawal.
Have any of you managed to cash out on BBP? and if so, how long did it take?
Actually, scratch that, as I type this I've just lost my remaining $3 on AK, hitting 2 pair ... 3-handed table, guy has a set of 5's in between my 2p ... another BS site full of riggery, may not deposit after all ... lol. I think it'd take another free 410 to give it another go.
Anyway, i'd still like to know if you cashed out in a reasonable time.

Not sure but as i read it if you deposit you will come off the $330 acc bonus. But you would get some kind of first deposit bonus. If I was you and you were that way inclined i'd start building from scratch ie 10c sng or freeroll it! you only need a little to put you back on track to reach the next release. Good luck

Well, I'd have to deposit to have 10c on there. I couldn't play that low anyhow. I'd rather play 2c/4c cash Omaha or something. I'd deposit maybe once I knew the cash outs were quick. 2 weeks is a joke, and I heard that all Merge rooms were painfully slow, they hope that you'll get fed up waiting and cancel the withdrawal and go ahead and spend it back into the site. terrible practice that is.

ok well i dont know about the cash outs but the deposits is good
also if you look on the website https://www.bigbetrewards.com/ you can spend points by turning them into cash so if you accumilate enough you SHOULD be able to grab like a $50 and then try withdrawing it to see how long the procsess work i cant imagine that it would take two weeks tho.

Cheers.
It honestly took 2 weeks on Walker poker, and they're very similar, both being on the Merge net. that's my concern. Walker poker will never get a penny from me ever again, I deposited about $200 there and only took $50 [the min withdrawal, also bad ...] one time. At the time of withdrawing I had $160 left in my account besides the $50, I had been doing good in the micro limit cash games and heads up sngs. I withdrew the $50 as a tester ... I wasn't wrong in thinking they'd try hold it back as long as poss. They were well capable of answering all my emails, but still nothing was done.

to be fair i never heard of walker poker so prob would give it a miss,
Heres a chat i Just had to try and make it easier for you.
info: One of our Representatives will be with you in a moment. The estimated wait time is 30 seconds. info: You are now chatting with Laura info: Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK145015387870X Laura: Thank you for contacting us at BigBet Rewards. How may I assist you today? yorkiegaz: Hi Laura, I have a quick question for you (and only one today!) what is the withdrawl speed for BBP? Laura: They are pretty fast. Laura: First thing is getting your documents approved. Laura: In order to get your withdrawal you need to send in a scanned copy of your Photo ID (Passport/Drivers License) and a Utility Bill showing your address (no older than 3 months) to support. yorkiegaz: yes i did that already i was just enquiring as to a rough estimate on withdrawing 3/5 days would you say? Laura: Which method will you use? yorkiegaz: via neteller, same method as i use to upload Laura: Then it is same day. yorkiegaz: wow that is fast Laura: It has to be verified first by the Payout's department and approved by John. yorkiegaz: and if i was to use a card? would that be a little longer? Laura: No, it will still be the same. But you will have to submit your credit/debit card copies.
------------ so to cut a long thing short as long as u submit ur docs inc any bankcards if u want it going there then they can procsess and pay out within the same day, HOWEVER i believe there is certain restrictions on free NDB (no deposit bankrolls) but that will be in T&C'S on here

I take it signing up through BRM covers out identification? They would check with BRM to verify? As our passports/ID are on account here. Or do you have to send ID to the poker site itself? because I've never had to do that on any site I've cashed out on.
That would be great if they were that quick, I'm sceptical though. I use moneybookers, and I know some sites like Party, ladbrokes, and Boylepoker process withdrawals to MB within the day, or at least over night.
It's just i tend not to trust the likes of Merge as much.

just noticed a few posts regarding cashing out, i have been playing 3 years and never had this problem with any site, maybe its because i use moneybookers i find them great and also the payment is instant and transferring money between poker sites using moneybookers is the same. its a very convenient method of dealing with poker sites and most sites accept moneybookers .

I do use moneybookers. The longest previous to Walker poker was PKR, a cash out from there took 4 days for me to moneybookers. 2 weeks from Walker was ridiculous and hopefully it's rare. I don't mind a few days, I prefer same day or overnight, I tend to deposit more on sites that offer this.
We do require players ID in addition to the paperwork you sent to BRM in order to cover our anti-money laundering rules. BRM don't supply us with any of your personal information at all. They perform all te security checks for you to be eligible to get the free bankroll (if you check on the site you'll see that non-BRM members have to send in docs to us which covers both the NDB and cashout).
Once these are approved then cashouts requested before about 1pm Curacao time will be processed the same day. If it's after that then it will be the following day except for weekends where we wll process early Sat but as a lot of our processors don't work on Sunday payments will go out Monday morning
Should you ever encounter any problems with cashouts then our live support will be able to help or you can always ask them to talk to me about it.

Utility Bill/ Bank statement/ Cell Phone Bill/ Pretty much anything 'official' that shows your address is acceptable.
Chilean ID as long as it has a photo on it (most ID cards seem to these days) will be fine.
