I think 3 or 4 days.

Another little update. I think my echecks finally hit my bank account today, but weird thing it was only for $199.55. I don't have any other deposits to my bank account that are pending so this must be it. Not sure if others have started to receive theirs as I have not had a chance to check 2+2.

Walker offered that deal as well and I used the $150 I deposited to start my eWalletexpress account and got a $15 free from them. I will probably play out the week there and then try to with withdraw. I have been playing there a bit lately and now have over $2200.

Plan at the moment might be to try and get that amount to $5000 and try and withdraw to my bank account from eWalletexpress. $5000 is the maximum withdrawal and the fee would be $150 so that comes out to 3% which isn't too bad.

*EDIT* Corrected myself about ePassporte the fee was $3 not 3%.

Not sure where I will go next. Mirage have you been playing at Bodog any and if so do you recommend it. What type of table selection do they have. Doyles Room is another option. I could also go back to the Merge Network and play on Carbon, Iron Dukes, etc... It would have to be at a site that has a better clearance rate. Walker was 5000 CP for every $10 to be released. I think some of the others are in the 2500-3000 range which make the bonus clear almost twice as fast. Couple that with 30% rakeback and a bunch of fish and I could see myself playing on one of those sites.

Not really to do with this topic, but I sure miss the bonus whoring days. They were very good times.

Just a thought Tysun, but I just added Poker Nordica which is giving us 30% Rakeback and a $600 Deposit Bonus (The banner says $200) but it is $600 for us.. They are on the Merge.

Doyles Room - is a decent option too. We get a $650 bonus there which is a bit bigger than normal.. I haven't played there much except for a few MTT with some friends a while back.. Their software tilted me though..

Bodog has had awesome games in my experience, at 100NL 6max anyway. The 15% instant deposit bonus was released with a few hands of play, which was great. Despite hearing numerous complaints about their software, I kinda like it, it's unique for sure but it's clean and does it's job well. There's a "hand grabber" program you can use to make it compatible with PT, sure makes it easier to spot the fish when multi-tabling. It has a 1k hand free trial, but after that it's $50 which blows. It also appears the initial deposit bonus is only valid for the first month's play, kinda weird. So I'm not sure whether I'll keep money on Bodog and buy that hand grabber or just get my money out.

My main recommendation (as in the OP) is to make sure whatever site you deposit to has check withdrawal as an option, i.e. Carbon or Bodog. Not just because you can avoid paying eWX a fee, but also because if eWX suddenly pulls a stunt like any of the other ewallets have, you don't want to be up shit creek without a paddle.

Any idea what the bonus clears at. If it is the same as Walker (500x) I'll pass as that's the reason I am leaving Walker. If it is more reasonable I will probably give it a try.

Not to pry Randy, but how many different sites do you own? Also is there one site you would rather me/us use over others? So far I count Ridgegaming, Rakebackteam, LooseChangePoker, and StacksBack.

LoL, no problem man.. I own several sites which help me cover forum expenses and are some what like a real estate investment. It's because of that we moved the forum to it's own domain so we will never have to move it again.

It doesn't really matter which site you use to sign up at, but unless you are in a hurry it is always a good idea to ask me what special promos might be going.. There are some sites which I cannot advertise Rakeback or a special bonus for example.. If you ever need a site with an extra bonus or something, shoot me a PM, that's what I'm here for. Oh, that and to be fucked with

I own:

Ridge Gaming
Felt Poker
Loose Change Poker
Stacksback.com (just bought this site, great traffic I'm hoping goes to the forum)
Poker Tutor Online
Rake Back Team
Arkansas Gambler (my blog)
Let It Ride Games (Small Casino Site)
Cracking Slots (My wife's hobby site)
Ridge Fantasy Sports (My Son(s) site) Future Fantasy sports/MMA site
Poker Affiliate Team (haven't done much with this yet)

Since I signed up for the Walker sign-up bonus it would seem like I am ineligible for the sign-up bonus at Poker Nordica or any of the other skins.

About 8 days ago I tried to withdraw $200 Eric sent me so I could put it on another site and trade it over to somewhere else for him. For whatever reason, the transaction shows as "completed and approved" on the 13th in Walker, but it never hit my eWalletXpress account. The first withdrawal I did took 3 days iirc, so this is very odd. I shot a support email to Walker this morning to see what the deal is; I'll report back here when they respond.

I requested a payout from Walker on 5/9 - It was approved by Walker but still has not him my ewallet. I've been going in circles with ewallet and Walker trying to find out where my money is... I'm so unimpressed with ewallet right now..
