I found out this morning that Usemywallet/Quick Tender is closed for now. Last night I tried to withdraw $430 from inetbet and when I checked my Usemywallet it was closed. The transaction had not happen yet. Now I am trying a wire transfer to my bank acct. Wish me luck and let me know if you have any ideas about future play options for US. I wish we had a really easy way to withdraw and deposit. I really don't want to give up my online gambling.
ok...so it looks like inetbet sent my withdraw to usemywallet and now I'm out $430. Let me know if any of you hear anything please. At this point I have $126 tied up in Fulltilt and $430 in usemywallet. This sucks.
If this goes down like Neteller then it may take a year to get funds.I thought FT was paying players?
How is fulltilt paying now? I haven't heard anything.
I am in Canada and got my payout but i heard they were sending some checks to some USA affiliates.Assume same for players.Visa /Mastercard about only way to deposit for USA now.
Did anybody else get screwed with usemywallet/quicktender?
Sorry to hear about your troubles Pokerkitty. We sent out a warning about QT/UMW a little while back, but unfortunately it looks like everyone didn't get a chance to read it in time.
I said it in other forums and will say it again , any wallet for usa is going to be seized sooner than later.There are 2 or 3 new ones online already and of course players are posting the name of them on forums so in matter of few months they will go too.One thing i have to say and may send the hairs up on back of your necks but for sure DOJ has all player info and I expect if you guys are not paying taxes you can look forward to audits down the road.Ihave been saying this since Neteller 2007 that one day there will be massive tax bills sent out to those not declaring their winnings online.
I wish they would just leagalize it already. I really miss playing online poker and slots.
This is the latest email...not sure what to do with this...
We are writing to give you an update on the status of your QuickTender account balance.
Contrary to some speculation in the forums, certain funds of QuickTender have indeed been subject to a seizure order by the US authorities. We hope to advise those affected in the near future on the status of these funds. The funds were held with our processor, ChargeStream Ltdand the action is a matter that is in the public domain.
Whilst not all of our funds are affected, a significant amount has been. QuickTender is a reputable organisation, and we wish to ensure so far as we can that our account holders do not lose their funds in our care.
We are looking at how we can release funds to our account holders as soon as possible, however because of current restrictions we are unable to transmit any funds in USD.
In order for customers to have their balances refunded, at present they will need to have a currency account in Euros as we currently cannot make any payments into any USD denominated accounts. If you do not have an account in Euros we would urge you to obtain one in order to receive your funds.
At the end of this week QuickTender aims to advise further on enabling withdrawal of funds from your QuickTender Account.
Please bear with us in these difficult times as we endeavour to resolve the situation despite the severe limitations we face.

I am in Canada and we have no option to get a euros account.Not sure how it is possible to get one from within USA.
Maybe we'll get a new email next week. I am still waiting for Fulltilt....I really want my online gambling back. Thanks for responding.
I definitely wouldn't run out and try to figure out how to open an account in Euros unless you had a very significant amount of money sitting in your QT account. The best plan of action is to wait (in the case of Neteller it was nearly a year long wait) and hope that your funds are returned sometime down the road.
At this point it's a waiting game for Full Tilt too.
I tried to cash out a sizable amount from UB back in April that has yet to be processed. I did get poker stars without much delay and still waiting on FT.Hopefully QT will play out like Neteller but Neteller guys made a deal who knows what QT is thinking.
Anybody heard anything about usemywallet/quicktender? They still have my $430!
Nothing at all; I think they even forgot to include me in their latest email update to their users.
I haven't heard anything from fulltilt either. I have $129 in that account.
Has anyone heard anything from FT? I got an email stating slower withdrawl times, thats it
Have not heard a thing, but I can still log in and see the money in my account.
Talk about a tease!
Latest email update and I think they are full of ****. Many AWe are writing to confirm the process to enable you to withdraw your remaining ‘available’ QuickTender USD balance.
As previously advised in order for customers to have their balances refunded, they will need to have a Euro currency bank account as we can no longer make any payments into a USD denominated account. We urge you to obtain a EURO denominated bank account in order to receive your funds.
From the 1st July and until the 15th August you will be able to log into the QuickTender site at www.quicktender.com and to request a withdrawal using the ‘Contact Us’ section. Before selecting contact us, you should first login as this ensures your account name and registered email is copied and also the page is now secure (if you select contact us before logging in the page, neither your account information is copied, or the page is secure via HTTPS Socket Level Security).
Once logged into your QuickTender account, you will be able to review your balance and obtain a statement of the previous transactions prior to requesting a withdrawal. There will be no way to transfer funds to previously QuickTender accepting merchants.
In this contact us section, you should select ‘Withdrawing Funds from your account’ from the drop down subject menu and in the space below, immediately provide with your EURO bank account details (clearly including any intermediatory bank details if necessary) in the following format:
Bank Account Name (this must match the family name that your QuickTender account is registered in)
Bank Name
Bank Address
Bank Identification Code (BIC also known as Swift Code)
Bank Account Number / International Bank Account Number (IBAN)
Please note we will not send any funds that claim to be destined for a EURO account to a 9 digit Fedwire/ABA routing number. If you obtain a EURO account from a USA based bank they will be able to provide you with the BIC/Swift Code and /or an International Bank Account Number (IBAN).
As previously mentioned, withdrawals can only be made to EURO bank accounts and will only be sent in the name of the registered QuickTender account holder. We cannot support 3rd party withdrawals.
To be clear, your withdrawal will be processed from your USD QuickTender account and QuickTender will convert it to the EURO equivalent amount based on the prevailing exchange rate.
Once we have successfully processed your withdrawal, we will advise you by email of the EURO amount and the date you should expect to receive it. Only funds sent to a EURO bank account are fully protected. We will not be held liable for any funds that are not received due to them not being sent to a EURO bank account in the name of the QuickTender account holder.
If you want your funds you need to act quickly to open a EURO denominated bank account and request a withdrawal to it prior to the 15th August 2011.
We are deeply sorry that this is the only means of ensuring you receive your QuickTender funds as part of us ceasing our service, but we want to ensure you receive them rather than the USA authorities.
QuickTender Team mericans used their quicktender account for many things other than gambling, so I don't see how they can keep the money.
I'm still wondering why I am not getting the updates that you're getting.
I certainly still wouldn't bother trying to open an account in Euros (and I am not even sure how you would do that to begin with), but you would think they would come up with an alternative solution once they realize no one is going to open a Euro account.
I am not going to even try for a Euro acct. We'll just have to wait and what happens. Looks like my earlier post had some typos lol! Americans have used their quicktender acct. for alot more than gambling.
Write a strongly worded letter!

I can't believe they're not offering some other alternative.
Maybe when they realize that virtually nobody was willing or able to obtain an account in Euros they will work out something else.
I hope so!
