I don't know how many folks read the daily news articles that Team LCB publishes but if you don't you should. There is a lot of information found there that I apply to my gambling decisions, like where I want to deposit next or which casinos have paid out progressives recently etc.
Last night I was looking to make a deposit somewhere new, and to my surprise I found an article about a new Bitcoin casino. I was excited! This casino is well known & respected. Most importantly, it is available to US players. It was like the author could read my mind, answering all of my questions about deposits/withdraw options and the like.
I headed over to this "respected" casino and quickly opened a new account. I had no interest in new player free chips or the like. RTG casinos always have multiple bonuses available & I find that a bit suspicious. I opened the cashier & found the Bitcoin deposit option waiting there for me like I have seen so many times before in the cashier at Extreme.
For some reason, I clicked on the withdraw tab and was shocked that there was not a bitcoin option there as well. Oh no, was this gonna be another casino with discriminatory banking options? I headed over to the chat & found the friendly woman who greeted me when I opened the account. She was friendly but clueless about bitcoin options. When I asked clearly, CAN I WITHDRAW BTC? She responded that my balance was zero so no I could not. GEEZ!
So, I decide to download the casino and see if the options are more extensive in the cashier. I did just that and again, there were no w/d options for Bitcoin. I decided to try chat one more time, thinking maybe the news article that I read was so new that the option just wasn't integrated into the cashier and BTC withdraw could be processed manually.
I found a different chat agent this time & she again had no clue about btc. When I inquired about btc withdraw options, this agent took the time to check on the facts for me. Great I thought! Valuable information for me to share with all of you regarding the status of btc banking at this casino. WRONG! SO WRONG! The chat agent returned to tell me that Bitcoin does not offer withdraw in their currency. WTF?
I respectfully told her that I read information about her casino offering both deposit/withdraw in btc. I also told her that Casino Extreme operates the EXACT same software as the casino she is working for and that they DO have BOTH deposit/withdraw options available.
The problem I have with this is that if you understand how bitcoin works, there is NO scenario which would allow the Bitcoin to have restricted one way transfers like she and several other casinos try to convince you about. These aren't shitty RTG money pits, these are casinos that pay their customers. Places like INTERTOPS, RAGING BULL, SLOTOCASH, UPTOWN ACES & GRAND FORTUNE ~ All of them credible, yet all of them have blatantly discriminatory policies regarding Bitcoin banking. I believe this is just their way of continuing to control our money long enough for us to reverse our withdraw. IN FACT, I KNOW THAT IS WHY THEY DO NOT OFFER BTC WITHDRAW! CASINO EXTREME USES THE SAME SOFTWARE & THEY HAVE BOTH DEPOSIT/WITHDRAW SO WHY CAN'T THEY????
