Casino Your Input Please Maximum Withdrawal Limits: Your Views?

I have noticed that when I am testing out casinos, I am finding more and more are imposing quite low maximum withdrawal rules, especially the multi-platform operators (Quickfire, EveryMatrix etc) These can be as low as 1,500 monthly or weekly.

Now I can fully understand why a maximum is present when a player is playing from a bonus: there is plenty of player fraud and the last thing a casino needs is to be hit up by a fraud ring and taken fro 10's or 100's of thousands. However, my view is that if a player is playing with and risking their own money, they shouldn't be subjected to maximums, period. This is a casino we are talking about, not an amusement arcade after all.

What bought it home to me was this. The other day I was playing and won a decent amount. I went to cash out and was told that I could only withdraw half this month and then half next month. So I asked them to close my account until it was all processed (which they did without fuss to be fair). There would be little point in playing on if you have hit the max you can withdraw and the irony is, I opened an account at the next casino on my list and the winnings from the first goes to the new one. This is not only bad for the customer but it occurred to me, bad for the casino as the customer is forced to go to a competitor.

The other thing that a low cash-out limit says to me is that a casino does not have a player reserve account of sufficient proportions. That to me is a red flag.

I know many players won't be affected by cash-out limits but I'd be interested to know what the general consensus is on what is and isn't reasonable, or maybe even ideas that might benefit casinos that are caught in the quandary of how to handle this.

Cheers,

Simmo!

Well I want to know how to encourage Illinois gaming when the state can't make the big payouts because there is a deficit? Any ideals? I guess limits on withdrawals help the business stay in business a little longer.
