Yachting poker withdrawal after 1595 PPPs, i now had more than 25 dollars there now, i reach the 1500 requirements then i finally make my first withdrawal, then after that a day passed, they emailed me and says that they cant processed my withdrawal unless I deposit first??? its clear in the condition that i only need to accumalate 1500 points to able to withdraw it. Just FYI so that others will not be mislead
------------ now im contacting them thru live support, then guess what no one is responsing , i open their live support for an hour and no reply. guys some advise pls... is it safe to deposit there?

Hello sirmitch888!
Great playing!
I can not tell you wether Yachting poker is a safe site to deposit to or not, but since it is such a small sum, and they are a new site, I can't imagine they would wanna risk their reputation over such a thing. And since you seem to be active there, they don't wnat to lose your business.
However, what I can tell you, is that most pokerrooms, if not all of them, want you to make a deposit before you can withdraw. This is so they know it really is your account, and you are not scamming them.
So there is nothing strange about this.
The times I have grinded a NDB into withdrawabel profit, I have made a small deposit, and withdrawn it the same day with no problemos.

If u check the "t&c" on their site it clearly says that to make a withdraw u have to make a deposit of a minimum amount of $25. i made that small deposit through mooneybookers last weekend and requested a withdrawal on sunday. i'm still waiting for it but it takes 4-5 days so they say. if that time passes and i got nothing then ill start to worry

Posted by LoGiX: I've always wondered, is it possible to deposit like $20 and withdraw it immediately without having to earn some points as a condition ?
Mostly I would say it is. At least when the condition is that you have to make a deposit before you can withdraw. I did it just the other day at Bet-at-home.

I have played there a few micro SnGs and from time to time I also enter in $0.05/$0.10 ring tables. I now have $7,5 and 70 points. Still have to work a bit to get to the objective, but, even having the will to continue playing there, I will be paying a lot of attention to this forum, hope others can help you with that question, as they will be helping me too.

You have to be very careful here as many sites have a "play through" clause for deposits. So If you deposit $20 you will have to had "wagered" that $20 before you can cash out.

Its standard nowadays to deposit before withdrawing. Ever time you want to enable a new method you need to deposit. Regardless if you have deposited before in the same site. Well done winning

Hi again!!
@sirmitch888. You can easily earn 25€. With any work (even a one day work, don´t get too tired ) you can earn it. Or some friend can let you the money.

Actually, in philippines $25 is alot of money for some. I live there on and off and i know many people who earn $75 in a month. I think average is around $150+ in a month. So its not that easy

Some sites also dont let you cash out instantly after a deposit They have a wait period of 24 or 48 hours prior your last deposit. Cant remember though where i saw that

actually hes right but for me its 3 days salary. other people on our country only earn 100usd a month depending on the job, and im lucky my salary is higher than them
And another one i lost all the money in yachting poker yesterday, waiting for the rakeback i think its more than 5 euro because i earn more than 1000 fpps yesterday alone

I havent seen this with the 48hr stand by, to cash out after a deposit at Poker Stars for sure cause i dont have an account there. But i still cant remember which site was. Probably was a small site that closed
