    Industry is in big trouble unless some current proposed legislation get's approved. Which, it probably won't...just have to get happy w/ draftstreet.com, and enjoy the nightly "prop" game...or, find a local...

    I trust every word you say especially since you gave me the heads up on that North Korean invasion. I've been in the Canadian wilderness ever since. Those Koreans will never find me, I'm too sharp thanks to you.

    I have a gut feeling that they made a deal with the US government on this. I was with thegreek for a long time and now they are leaving the market here. I am sure going to miss them but at least they are sending us to Heritage which has a B+ rating. They are sure going to get some more business as a result. I wonder if they are partnering with the Sprio group.

    I don't think it makes much difference right now if a book is an A rating or a C rating. If you are with an A book and you don't know if they are going to be there tomorrow thats no better than a C book that might not pay you.

    I think I have three account at Heritage now. My original one, one from Betjamaica and one from the Greek. Priceless. I sure am glad Heirtage thought this one through.

    Thanks for trying.

    "I have use ** and for WD's."
    Did you intend to state another method after "and"?


    "Fees were absurd for ** and normal for wire."

    Can you be more specific?
    What are the fees?

    Bill Dozer -
    Since the Heritage website is closed to non-account holders -
    Can you get Heritage to permit Guest non-cash accounts for a day or 2, so those of use who haven't used Heritage previously can see what is offered and at what times, read the Deposit/Withdrawal info and fees, etc., BEFORE we transfer our funds there?

    Or ask the Greek if they can get Heritage to do this?

    There are always a few of these in an acquisition of players. You'll be able to get your funds from Heritage without fees.

    VIP had no business left, just huge domain name assets. In this case there are a lot of players. Heritage might be a little better equipped to move a lot of player balances at once.

    Sorry, It should have read ** and wire. ** was like $80 for $800 MAX and wire was a flat fee of $65 plus $10 that my bank charged.

    We cant write anything coherent about depositing and withdrawing. Like this is a big fuking secret or something. Maybe we should call it Publix and Walmart.

    Even if you dont want to play, Heritage will have your money and will handle the payout.

    Hi, Bill,
    On thegreek's website, it states 'What if I do not want an account at Heritage? What if I want all my money now? A: You will promptly receive 100% of your funds. This is personally guaranteed by The Greek. However you will not receive the 10% free play and you will lose the option to have an invitation from Heritage.'
    But when I called thegreek, I was told I can't request for withdrawal through thegreek at this time, I have to activate the transfer and if I wish, I can give up the free play and request for withdrawal through heritage right away, and they confirmed with me heritage will offer the same withdrawal method as thegreek offered me previously. Could you check with them to see if that's really the case? If we choose not to have heritage account, not doing the transfer and request the withdrawal as per words on their own website, Thegreek is the one that should take care of the withdrawal in this case, right?

    Yeah, good luck trying to deposit at Heritage any time during the next week. Obviously, they are not prepared for this.

    Bill Dozer - "Even if you dont want to play, Heritage will have your money and will handle the payout."

    "You'll be able to get your funds from Heritage without fees."


    Bill Dozer - Just to confirm what you've stated - The Greek is automatically transferring our funds to Heritage whether we want to play there or not.

    If we don't want to play there, Heritage will return our funds with no fees.

    Is this correct?


    redapple - "...they [the Greek] confirmed with me heritage will offer the same withdrawal method as thegreek offered me previously."

    This makes it sound as if they are going to charge for the Withdrawal if we don't want to play there.
