WSEX: Official Monthly Thread: July. (#11 of 12.)

Mike Haven · #1 07-01-2007, 06:32 PM

Owing to continued demand, again we have a central thread for questions, suggestions, complaints, and general discussion about WSEX.

Keeping everything in one thread helps everyone interested in WSEX to find full information, and those not interested know which thread not to read, so thank you for supporting the idea. The WSEX GM makes a point of reading this thread every day or two, whereas he doesn't have time to search for individual comment threads scattered about the forum.

For reference, the previous thread, #10 of 11, is here.

I've got a suggestion about cashouts that really bugs me.

When I cashout the money is not removed from my account to process, it stays there and is taken when you decide to do the cashout, which is about 2-3 days later sometimes.

I would LOVE it if you could remove the cashout $$$ when the request is made whilst the process is ongoing.

Thanks for wsex by the way, I love it!

Money is debited from your account the next business day as long as it is approved. (Rollover for sports bonus, verified ID) If you put the request in on a Friday after 8 AM, it won't be debited until Monday.

Also does wsex have a self exclusion option? Sometimes I would like a 2 or 3 day cooloff period. It would be good to enter the number of days to lock yourself out the account for.

many times when trying to view a HH immediately following the hand, i get an error message, and i am unable to view the HH. annoying.

Is it possible to have a faster way to reload back to the maximum buy-in? Currently when pressing the '$' it can take quite a while to appear, and even longer for the confirmation and the reload amount to be added to your stack. 2-3 hands can go by.

Also frustrating is I can't reload to the maximum if I try on the hand where the money was taken out. So if I'm on the small blind, I fold and then reload, it won't let me reload to the full buy in amount until the following hand.

I find the '2 free disconnections' a little disconcerting in ring games too. It appears that this means someone can intentionally disconnect instead of calling a large bet to have an 'all in' for the current amount in the pot occur. Or am I wrong?

I've also been disconnected during a hand, and 'sat out' as a result. I reconnect while the hand is still going but I don't seem to get a 'sit back in' button until the following hand is dealt.

Other than those issues, I like the site and hope more people play there.

Fred,

I tried to PM you with this question but your PM box is still full.

I have been playing exclusively at wsex for the past couple months. I'd like to continue to do so, pending how badly the contributed rake affects me, but I have a problem:

I will be heading out on a year-long trip overseas. I'm currently a US resident. Will there be any way for me to cash out while I'm traveling other than check? If not, will I be able to have checks made out to someone other than myself back in the states who can cash them for me?

I'd like to keep playing at your site, but I may not be able to unless I am able to find a reasonable way to cash out while overseas.

Thanks!

SC

Theres kind of an easy work around for this if you really wanted to. Have someone pick up the check from your mail, have them forge signature (you could even grant them power of attorney if you want to (and they dont have to be one for that ) and then they could sign their own name) and have them put it in your checking account.

If you just want the check deposited into your account you don't have to sign the back. Just write "for deposit only". Problem solved...if you have someone who will bring it to the bank for you.

Go to a UPS store and rent a box for $30 every three months. You might even have to temporarily change your address. No big deal. Change it back when you get home.

Have your checks sent to the box. Then have UPS forward your mail to you.

I did that for a year.
