UB Withdrawal B.S, is this allowed?

[Mahatma]

I wanted my money out of Fulltilt and into my Bank account in the UK. So I move my dollars to UB and request a check, this is what I get. When did they introduce this Bullsh*t into the terms and conditions? I have to pay $8 for processing too, is that not enough?! I've over 50k hands there, a pile of rake paid and they treat me like a criminal.

My reply:

I'm withdrawing because I've had enough of poker. The reason I have deposited then withdrawn without playing is that I had my money at fulltilt then moved it to neteller then UB so that I can make use of your cheques that are cashed in pound sterling, which neteller do not do. As I said, i didn't play after depositing because I'm finished with the game.

So, you expect U B to be a money changer. At least you told the truth about it. Good luck in getting your money anythime soon. You ask "is this allowed"---They can do pretty much whatever they want!

[dlk9s]

Sure, it's allowed, and it is a good policy.

I think that you are confusing UB with UBS! One is a poker site and the other is a bank.

Why should they operate as your personal money launderer?

[cardman]

Standard.

[MiltonFriedman]

Very well put..... Sites earn money from providing a poker service. They are not really in the currency swap business. Complain to FTP or Neteller, not to UB.

Underlying issue, why the run around ? Why not withdraw from Neteller ? Is he really saying he expects UB to save him some conversion fee charged by FTP or Neteller to get payment in GBP ?

[Humble Pie]

[x] Not a legitimate gripe.

[MadMat]

All the cheques I've had from my USD Neteller account have been in Stirling, and drawn on a UK bank.
