    Merge kills all player to player transfers -- are they cash poor?

    Around 7, I was texting back and forth with the kuntmissioner, and at the end I asked him to fire over a few bucks on Hero if he had extra, so I could make a quick heeb run-up or something. Got the message back that he could not initiate transfers at this time. Oh well, no big deal, whatever the reason.

    An hour later on twitter, I find out why he could not transfer. Screenshot taken from the Haus of Malmuth.

    I think this is their new way of fighting secret rakeback, as player-to-player transfers were the primary way this was accomplished.

    I can't wait until online poker becomes legal in the US.

    Earlier this week ACR and Lock put a limit on the amount you can transfer.

    This will absolutely kill Mege.

    P2P transfers are how a good chunk of their player base gets their money on the site.

    Its the opposite actually. The good players have the money on Merge, and the fish like myself get the funds from them. If I want to put $500 on merge I can do a western union and pay like a $12 fee, or I can buy a gdmp and get like $575 from someone on 2+2. Sometimes even more I've worked out some unreal deals. This will effect backing as well.

    I don't understand why Merge cares so much about secret rakeback. I get that it creates fiercer competition between the skins, but that's no skin off Merge's back. Why not let them compete? If customers move from one skin to another, it's all the same in the end.

    However, they will lose business pissing everyone off with moves like this.

    EDIT: That awful pun was unintentional

    They ass fucked us out of that October 1st. A few ppl on IV speculate that this is being done to preserve some cash on hand, as they are broke and folks cashout via p2p.

    I'm also wondering if they see another wave of Black Friday shutdowns coming in the wake of the DOJ hitting that sportsbook site the Cantor guy shilled for. If so, I can see a scenario where they aren't going to pay the US players and wan tto keep them from transferring to what few Euros may be playing on the Merge network.

    You play on these shitty sites when you can play on stars, tilt, party, 888. Serously?

    I am sure there will be a government regulated system coming to your Provence soon, like in BC and Quebec.

    You can't get money off their fucking sites within reasonable time if your a US citizen which is a big problem as a majority of their players are Americans otherwise why the hell play on there if you have the ability to play on Pokerstars, iPoker, or Party Poker?

    People are using that as a way to move money off selling it to others and they know all about that with some of their spokesman encouraging that type of activity over on places like 2+2 yet now they take that away from people?

    So what do people do now if they get a $50k score on Merge only being able to move like $2.5k a month off? It's such a slow ass process while moving money off sites like ACR is quick and Bovada which was slow for a few months has now increased the speed in their cashouts again (at least for checks). The anonymous player thing on Bovada clearly still sucks for collusion detection purposes but otherwise their site is still soft.

    Anyone who is wondering about current deposit/withdraw status for sites still serving Americans read the reviews here (updated about 10 days ago):

    and stars pisses me off, I can't win on stars unless I run like god. Im no rigtard, but that is the only site I run well below EV, even tho I am a net winner. Played there a lil yesterday, and im still SMH wondering how I lose to the worst players there every time. These tards dont bet the nuts, but call down with nothing. The NLO8 hypers are hilarious.

    BCP rep (Nathan?) hasn't heard anything from Merge, regarding this being temporary.

    Thinking about it - seems like the games are going to be amazing on merge (at least at MSNL) but you won't be able to take any $ out.

    wheeeee
