How long does bank wires usually take to show up? (UB..ugh)

VielGeld · #1 04-03-2007, 12:08 AM

ok so i just withdrew from UB 2 weeks ago using the option bank wire transfer. i requested it and not surprisingly needed to send in documents to verify so i did and they approved it. on march 26 i got an email saying it has been processed. this is for the amount of 8.5k and its not my full balance.

today is 4/2 and so far nada in my bank account. i emailed support a few days back and it usually takes 2-3 business days and i think it has been 5. should i be remotely worried about this or wait it out?

ps. i'm a long time ub player but now that i'm playing pretty high i'm not so sure about having so much money on there.

Is that new, didnt know bank wire was an option. Still waitng on three checks for almost a month now. Please keep updated on how bank wire ends up working out. I too am a little uncomfortable w/ leaving large sums of money on ub.

ummm its not new i think they've had it for a long time but ppl just use the ewallets more. i've heard checks take up to 6-8 weeks so i opted for a bank wire and its now 1 week....ughhhh

i play with you regularly clcktower, how much do you have on ub?

i have about 12k on there after 3 pending checks. I have been getting checks since neteller closed and the most its ever taken before was 3 weeks. I would rather not use ewallets at this point so bank wire would be great if it works out.

p.s. I also dont like that they switched to contributed rakeback calculation and the "processing fees" that are now being taken out.

The only check I requested arrived in 2 weeks. I've done numerous epass withdrawals (never more than 2k at a time because e-wallets scare me as well). Those go very fast. And with the epass visa you can get the $$ out in a couple of days. Hopefully since AP owns UB they will have an ACH options soon the way that AP does.

i emailed them last night and got a reply. they said they have not sent out my wire yet...WTF...and they said they're going to do it today and refunded me the $50 processing fee.....they emailed me on march 26th saying it was processed.....and between then and now not 1 email....

it involves two things.....

1> A bank wire

2> the ability to cross your fingers on both hands, a friend could help but the less people that are in the transaction the better!

Best of luck to you,

Victor, I know you play at UB. I've been playing there for 2 months now and haven't had any problems w/ withdrawals (about 4 in total). Have you had any problems? There are so many threads here about UB issues that it is starting to make me nervous, but I really like playing there and want to continue to do so.
