While I understand your thinking, I don't agree with it.

First of all, because a site takes the time to vet transactions it is not a "con". A con would be lying, fraud, switching of deliverables, etc...basically trickery of some sort. As for instant deposits vs withdrawals, while I would like to agree with you (of that being nice) - in the current state of affairs that cannot happen, there are many reasons for this. First of all, deposits can be instantaneous because we wait for confirmations (on our end) and allow you to play right away. I suppose the flip-side to this would be to make you wait for your deposit to show-up through a minimum number of confirmations before you can play. I don't think most people would like that. Also, based on previous cheaters and people taking advantage of the site, the withdrawals had to be done manually to verify history (we hope most of this can be automated shortly). We run a fair business and expect the clients to all be treated fairly, as well as treat us fairly. If we could all trust each other, then of course, everything could be instantaneous (but unfortunately that world doesn't exist).

You have to remember that when someone cheats, they're not just taking the casino/investor's money...they're also taking other players' money. Other players don't want to play somewhere where some people are cheating (it's not a good feeling). We operate the site as part of the community. I wouldn't want to be cheated out of money, and I wouldn't want that for anyone else either.

In terms of minimum withdrawals; there has to be a minimum, otherwise we can't run a faucet also. We could look into a different system for "play" money, but a lot of players seem to enjoy the boost that a faucet gives.

I hope this clears up some of the thinking. Thanks!
