Well here I go agin with Club World group.... Waiting for a ACH from Feb 29 They claim "we had a problem with the ACH's on Feb 29th we will fix them today or tomorrow thios has been five days and no money yet Alo waiting for ACH from Club world over ten days now too. Why is it that it takes so long to get your money back but they can clear a deposit immediatley?

I lost over $1000 ACH to Club Worl over a yera ago They claim that the ACH was sent out never cleared into my bank but was also never returned so I was out of lluck I should have quit with these guys back then

Sounds like you're in the USA generaljam. Sadly that is the state of affairs US players have to deal with due to the uncertainty created by the UIGEA legislation. It can be difficult for casinos to pay players with US bank accounts because the banks are actively trying to block gambling-related transactions. It has turned into a game of cat and mouse with gambling sites attempting to disguise the transactions as something non gambling related. So from time to time you will see delays and payment blocks. There is not a lot you can do at the moment unless you want to move to Canada!

The reason it is easier to deposit is that the deposits are going to accounts that are not in the USA and hence are not blocked unless the US credit card company knows or suspects they are for gambling. This can be hard for them to determine if you're making what looks like a one-off online purchase.

As far as the Club World group goes, there aren't a lot around that are better than them for US players at the moment. I understand your frustration but in my experience these guys are honest and will pay you as soon as is possible.

Here are two of the chat sessions with Club World customer care. If you dont think this is a run around then I am Mr Magoo. I bet I will never see this money. Blogs such as this should pay attention to these happenings and not tell USA customers that Club World is OK

Hello Please review the two previous chat sessions and tell me where my ACH's are: Take special note of the dates Please tell me why you cant tell me whats goin on

The following is a transcript of your chat session.

generaljam: hi again
generaljam: ok and you?

generaljam: sorry the system crashed
Natasha: No problem
Natasha: Can you confirm how much the withdrawal was for?
generaljam: It seems I am getting a major run around
generaljam: Nat I had one from Buzz Luck that was supposed to go out on feb 29 for around 300
generaljam: I had one from Club world from last week that was supposed to be for about 200
generaljam: I can look at my history but so can you
generaljam: Youi told me last friday you were going to contact the cashier by email
generaljam: Inever heard from them
Natasha: We are not giving you the run around, you have been a loyal player with us for many years so you should know that the casino does pay out the withdrawals, just at the moment the ACH was slightly delayed thats the reason why you may not have this as of yet,
generaljam: I chatted with Lydia on Monday and she assured me that the Buzz luck would be here on Tuesaday
Natasha: The cashier updated us today and stated they are hoping it should be with you by the end of the week
generaljam: IToday is Thursday this is the end of the week
generaljam: I went through this a year ago with Club world fro over $1000.00 which they told me the same thing for three weeks then told me the ACH was lost and I never got that money
Natasha: There is tomorrow also, we are hoping it should be there by then or the latest early next week, this is all the cashier has stated too me im sorry
generaljam: You have always been very nice and helpful to me
Natasha: I wish i could help more,
generaljam: It seems to me that I should be getting a more detailed explaintion from the cahiers
generaljam: They ,ake you take all the heat and frankly it makes you look bad
Natasha: i understand your frustration, but best i would advice is too try and wait an extra few more days and fingers crossed you will have it.
generaljam: Someone should ask the nebulus cashiers why they tell the customer service people to tell us we will get our money one day then later in the week a different story and now you expect me to believe anything?
generaljam: Why should I have to cross my fingers its my money
generaljam: Did you get your last pay check?
generaljam: Its my money
Natasha: i understand its your money, but sometimes delays can happen im afraid.
generaljam: Somone needs to speak to a manager of the boss of the cashiers and explain the facts of life to them
Natasha: i will pass this onto the cashier for you
generaljam: I appreciate delays but not when I am not told the reasons
generaljam: and told different storuies
Natasha: To be honest all we have been told is there has been a slight delay, i would help more if i could
generaljam: If you said we are having trouble and we dont know when we will be paying you...that would at least be better then we are paying you on tuesday and this doesnt happen
generaljam: I would not want to have your job. ...... you are expected to take the heat but have no answeres
generaljam: and by the way iots more then a slight delay
generaljam: And this happened to me before and i was out over $1000
Natasha: As i said please try to wait an extra few more days and hopefully this should be in the account for you then
generaljam: I was counting on that money this week
generaljam: And if the money isnt there by Friday what then do I do?
Natasha: i understand, if its not there Friday i would adivce to try and extra few more days, as the cashier stated they are hoping it will be in the account either end of this week or early next week
generaljam: and then if its not there next week just keep waiting thats absurd
Natasha: if its not there next week please contact us back
generaljam: I am going to contact you every day maybe twice a day or three times till I see my money
generaljam: Thanks You really should pass this on to a cashier they could at least drop me a courtesy email
generaljam: good bye
Natasha: I will pass it on for you

Best of luck to you in this matter, generaljim.

I can tell you from experience that I have done two withdrawal requests from Club World (one about a year ago, and the other last July) that ended up being paid. My first transaction took longer than I would have wanted, but the second was there within about a week.

I can see where you would think they are giving you the runaround, but the vast majority of people I have seen online believe that Club World is the best option we have at the moment for an online casino (myself included).

As Americans we are getting the royal shaft in regards to online gambling, and getting financial transactions approved to a US bank is a difficult thing for casinos to get completed. It is possible that their transactions got denied and that they are trying to find a way to get them completed.

I know your situation is bad, and I definitely feel bad for you. It isn't easy waiting on an out of country casino to get you YOUR money, especially when they have little to no repercussions for not paying you. If you think you have it bad, you should talk to dogfather on our forums who hit a $90,000+ jackpot on Lock. He had to go through all sorts of hoops in order to start getting paid, and that is even in small increments.

My advice would be to have faith that it will all work out. Everything I have read and experienced about Club World is that they WILL pay. It just is taking a lot longer than you would like.

Good luck my friend.

Hello again group!
By the way it appears as though all of a sudden you can not email Club World My emails are comming back undeliverable and they no longer list an email address on any of their sites. I have even tried to send them an email on a forward return of one of their emails

Maybe somthig is up?

Hey General - I edited out your email address from your chat transcript above, better to keep it private.

While I am sticking to what I said - i.e. that they are not trying to rip you off - I will concede that you made some good points in your 2nd chat. Its never good to over-promise and then under-deliver. If they tell you a payment is coming tomorrow - or whatever day - it damn well better arrive by then. If they were up front and said they were having problems with their processor and it might take a week or so then you would be more understanding.

I'll send them an email and see if can find out what is happening. My guess is they may have been forced to find a new way to send ACH transfers - i.e. through a different payment processor or bank accounts.

Hey General, just so you know.. you're not alone. I've also been waiting on two missing ACH withdrawals from March 1st. One of those withdrawals was resent changed to wire this past Monday but I haven't received that yet and I should have if everything was ok. Trust me, no one is more frustrated and at my wit's end about this then me. But not because I think they're doing this on purpose, because I don't. I believe 100% in this group's integrity and we will get paid. I've played with them and have also been an affiliate with them for many years now... they're good for it. It just SUCKS big time waiting for them to sort this out. Grrr...

By the way, Club World's email is working fine. I haven't had any trouble emailing them at all. What email address are you having trouble sending to? Or is it ok now?

They have removed the customer support email

As a update Still no Money I am told that the processor lost the money and they need to find it LOL!!!
They will get back with me next week I bet!
Think how absurd this is....If I loan somebody $20.00 and they loose it do they still owe me OF COURSE

This is the exact same thing they did to me last year to the tune of $1200.00 They claim the processor sent the money out, it never got to my account so I lost the money. This web page should really change the rating for US Players. I have been with Club World for over five years and in the last 15 months the winnings have stopped and the pay out have not been consistant.. I urge all players to stay away from this site until they get more relaible again

There should be a payment trail if the processor sent the payment last year. Club World needs to prove it sent it. You shouldn't lose the money if you never received it. Good luck on getting paid. I will be watching with interest.

Wow, that is ridiculous generaljam. I honestly feel for you.

I would have figured that ACH transactions would be easier for them to process. Wonder why they are having such difficulties.

generaljam, I have sent you a PM asking for details specific to your account there. Send a reply and I'll try to get them to you sorted ASAP. I was told they had a processor problem but they were back on top of things - doesn't sound like that is the case judging by your experience.
