prima withdrawals

[spatne]

Are you implying that Ecocard somehow works even if a site doesn't list them as an option? That doesn't seem right to me. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.

You also need to enter a branch number - ask your bank for this. In my case it was the same as the ABA routing number on my checks, but some banks use different numbers for incoming wires.

For those saying that Eco isn't an option, have you tried to just go to Eco directly and sign up for an account? I have withdrawn from Battlefield twice to my Eco account and it has been painless.

Theres a box for "branch code", but there is no asterisk there meaning its not mandatory. I didnt put anything in there but I havent done a transfer to the bank yet.

Just logged into Battlefield and found that my ACH withdrawal is back in my account, live chat said they are no longer able to process them.

EcoCard seems like an enticing option, I just initiated a cashout to my EcoCard and we'll see how it goes.

Does anyone know if any other poker sites or sportsbooks also use EcoCard as a funding option?

[HajiShirazu]

Has anybody actually received a wire transfer from ecocard? I got one from eurolinx poker last week (very classy organization - they were helpful even though I gave them a wrong #) but have about 1k tied up in another prima. I think I'll just move most of it to ecocard.

MLSchaff, is the limit for withdrawing from Battlefield to EcoCard 5K? Or is that the limit from EcoCard to the bank?

I don't want to start a withdrawal for over 5K and then have Battlefield reject it 5 days later simply because it was over the limit. According to Battlefield customer service, there isn't a limit, but they aren't always the most reliable source around...

NesOne - Not sure about which side the $5K Ecocard limit is. I never thought about it because that's a bit bigger than my standard withdrawals.

Haji - Yes, I have received a wire from Ecocard. Just be aware if you are only doing $1K the fees get a little steep. I realized this when I did $1K as a test run. Eco charges $10 to send a wire. My bank charged me $10 for an incoming wire. And there was an additional $20 taken out by a correspondent bank along the way which I wasn't aware of, and which Ecocard says they can't list as a standard fee (they don't collect this) because depending on what country a wire is sent to it may go through one or more correspondent banks that each take a fee. Shouldn't be more than $20 though going to a major US bank from Eco. So it was a total of $40 fee. Steep for a $1K x-fer, not too bad for $3K+, especially when you consider that courier charges for most sites that still will courier a check are usually around $30 anyway.

Spatne - I thought all Prima sites had the same options, but I guess not.

Iceman - Maybe that's my bad on the branch code. Thought it was mandatory. Regardless, I asked my bank what a branch code was and they told me it was the same as my ABA routing number so I just put it in the field.

[HajiShirazu]

Wow, my bank charges $15 so it would be $45 total on a $700 withdrawal (I kept some $ in the prima site). Maybe I will just hold on to the money in ecocard and see if any other sites start accepting deposits from them in the near future.

Nonfiction, have they returned your money to your Trident account yet?

I have not received my money back, and Battlefield is again that they are not sure whether or not my ACH has been canceled. This is despite the fact that they said it had just 6 hours ago. This is quite disturbing...

I've been waiting 2 days for my money now. Time to yell at support again.

Dear LFD,

As you are aware, due to the current legislation within the USA, we are having great difficulty paying our United States players their balance of account. This is an unfortunate situation one which we do not have any control over.

I would firstly like to reiterate to you that the balance within your casino account is safe. The balance will remain there for you until we can find a method of payment for you.

Unfortunately, at present, Checks and ACH are also not an option. However, we are continually trying to find new avenues to make payments back to our US players. We understand that if you have an existing Ecocard or Click2Pay account
then we can use that account to make a payment to you.

I understand how frustrating and how much inconvenience this is causing you but please understand that it is not Casino Action making these changes to payment options but the financial institutions themselves.
