Why I am sticking to Sky Poker.

edited January 2014 in Poker Chat
This is not to sook up to sky. Just better. I had a few dollars in my 888 account, forgot about them for 9 months, so used the $10 on a turbo satalite to a tourny, won a seat then won $800, played like nothing to lose, got lucky, 3rd place. 
            8 days later still waiting for cash, lay in pending for 4 days (so you can reverse transaction, no chance of me doing that), and can take 8 working days back to card. Brutal stuff. I have cashed out of Skypoker at 11pm on a lucky turbo Tuesday and cash is in my account 4pm next day.

    Agree sky are very good with withdrawals. They under-sell themselves saying it takes 3-5 working days.

    Could use this more as a USP along with playing in £££, the TV channel and the mini view feature.

    Had the same problem with 888 recently for a similar amount, it gets to you eventually without having to provide documents or anything. wp on the bink.

    What is this withdrawing thingy?

    Agree with this post big time! The unneccessary delay on some other sites (not all mind you)leaves a bad taste. I was told the delay was for security reasons on one site yet they allow me deposit immediatly. Simply put they want you to spend money but wanna make it hard to take out money.
