for our most CURRENT US Poker Payouts Report
Every month here on ProfRB.com, we provide our players and the online poker community as a whole with a comprehensive, easy to read report aimed at giving US players pivotal information on poker room and network payout and withdrawal timeframes. We use data from player reported experiences (including rest-of-world or "ROW" data as well) provided on leading online poker forums and compare that information with our industry knowledge and business contacts to present a report that gives all players the best possible information on online poker room cashouts, payouts, and/or withdrawal speeds.
We currently track information from US-facing online poker homes such as Bovada on the Bodog Network, Carbon Poker on the Merge Gaming Network, ACR Poker (and partner skins Black Chip Poker and True Poker) on the Winning Poker Network, Full Flush Poker and Pokerhost (which utilize separate cashiers) on the Equity Poker Network, Seals With Clubs (the leading Bitcoin poker room), Juicy Stakes and Intertops Poker (also use separate cashiers) on the Revolution Network, BetOnline on the Chico Network, and Lock Poker (an independent online poker room -- AVOID THIS ROOM; more below).
We've also added a speculative "Outlook" portion to each room or network's section. Utilizing our exhaustive research and data, along with our experience in the industry, we give you a glimpse into how strong we feel the future will be for each room or network in terms of paying players in a timely manner. More white stars means a stronger outlook (five white stars being the brightest outlook), while more black stars mean a weaker outlook (five black stars being the worst possible outlook).
PLEASE NOTE: All of our player samples are cataloged from publicly available player reported experiences via online forums - we do not accept privately submitted player experiences for this report.
JULY 2014 CASHOUT REPORT | REVIEW
Bovada, the US-facing online poker room on the Bodog Network, works its way through the dog days of summer with continued excellence in paying its players in a highly timely manner. Average player reported waiting times for check withdrawals reached another all-time low in June, dipping below four days from date of request to date of receiving for the first time since we began this report in July of 2013. Since January, Bovada has cut their waiting time for checks in half and then some, while continuing to process cash tranfer, debit card, and bank wire payouts largely within a calendar week. If you're looking for a US-friendly online poker room with tons of cash game, tournament, and sit-n-go action that pays its players promptly, look no further than Bovada.
For more details, please visit our Bovada review, information and instructions page.
The Winning Poker Network improved nicely from a slight increase in check withdrawal waiting averages in May, while managing to decrease wait times for their popular debit card payout option - hence their increased score for this months report. On the whole, WPN has made steady and marked improvements in the cashout department, and continues to sit firmly entrenched among the top options available to US players. They've earned the #2 spot on this month's report through continued dedication to paying players timely among many methods. One strong indicator of their prowess has been their steady 1-4 day range for Rest-Of-World payouts throughout 2014, making them a desired destination for players around the world.

Another welcome place for US players that has made steady improvement in payouts to its players in 2014 is the Merge Gaming Network. Via leading online poker room Carbon Poker, players are reporting decreases in waiting periods in check and cash transfer withdrawals. The network also lowered its stated timeframes for checks in half last May, indicating its renewed dedication after reintegrating its partnered rooms and absorbing Aced Poker earlier this month. With payouts flowing from the same source and network partnered rooms desegregated, Merge has positioned itself as the clear #2 option for US players.

Pokerhost continues its opening few months on the Equity Poker Network, having moved from Merge this past April. Though there have been adjustments in some areas and the overall transition continues, their ability to pay their players remains high. Pokerhost is one of the top options for players who seek quick cashouts, as they utilize their own cashier to better process withdrawals. ProfRB.com can confirm through our industry contacts that Pokerhost continues to exceed their stated waiting periods, keeping them quite high on the list of dependable options for US players. The only blemish to their score this month was due to a lack of player reported activity, but we will continue to monitor this in the ensuing weeks and months.

Reported player data has always been low for payouts on Intertops. However, ProfRB.com has easily been able to confirm through our industry contacts that despite some minor hiccups earlier this year, Intertops is paying players well within their impressively stated timeframes. Intertops and fellow network partner Juicy Stakes are the only safe and secure ProfRB.com recommended rooms on the Revolution Network, and for US players seeking dependability, count on a company that has been in business for over 30 years.
For more on Intertops Poker, which is available to US players by invitation only, be sure to check out this Intertops Poker review.
We haven't seen much by way of player reported data for leading Equity Poker Network room Full Flush Poker. But as above, through our industry knowledge and contacts we've been able to confirm that Equity is paying players within their stated timeframes. Timeframes of which, by the way, are among the lowest of any US-friendly online poker destination. Our own players have been reporting positive experiences with cashouts and promotions as well, leading us to report that we highly recommend Full Flush and Pokerhost on EPN to all players.
Be sure to check out our Full Flush Poker Rakeback Review instructional page for more information.
Most players do not feel the need to report their payout experiences on Seals With Clubs, and ProfRB.com can confirm the reason why. When players are receiving withdrawals within 12-24 hours on the whole (if not sooner), they don't have time to post their experience before its complete! Seals With Clubs is a Bitcoin-only operated room touting themselves as the "wild west of online poker", and when you factor in the continual sway of Bitcoin value on top of their 'frontier' attitude, you can easily see why. Typically, the higher the value of Bitcoins, the more traffic at Seals With Clubs. And although the Bitcoin market may fluctuate from time to time, Seals With Clubs remains the most sought place to play online poker for those using the popular crypto-currency.

Juicy Stakes is another online poker room that has proven to be light with players reporting their payout experiences. We can confirm through our industry contacts that this is largely due to player satisfaction with stated timeframes. As such, Juicy Stakes continues to rebuild their brand by putting the players first. Though player traffic may be light compared to the rooms and networks above, Juicy Stakes is still a dependable place to play and is available to most US players. And with Intertops being invite-only for US players, we recommend this room for American grinders as a comparable experience - particularly with payouts.

BetOnline and SportsBetting.ag made their debut on our report last month and though we do not yet have player reported data to display, we continue to meticulously scour the internet to provide recent player experiences for this online poker room. The only cashout data we have found thus far has been quite old, but we will continue to work towards bringing you current information. However, despite recent player data, we've been able to ascertain that BetOnline is meeting its obligations to players and as such, has earned its first score on our report. Stay tuned on this front, and we hope to have more information for our August report.
A handful of payouts have been reported from players on Lock Poker in 2014 but on the whole, this online poker room hasn't been paying its players for more than a calendar year. ProfRB.com continues to highly recommend staying away from this poker room at all costs. As continually reported by our own "IHasTehNutz" on the popular forum Twoplustwo, nearly 400 players are confirmed as being owed outstanding withdrawals from Lock - some with payment requests dating back to 2012. The alarming information is worth reading for all poker players and we hope you will share this information with others. Lock is a classic Ponzi scheme and with the bevy of options available to US players as described above, there's no reason to play at Lock Poker at all. AVOID THIS ROOM!
