I can"t see the issue here except for people whinging as they have nothing better to do. Some people are well prepared to take take take from APAT but when they have to give a little we get a bunch of mini Arthur Scargills ::)

Irony.

Maybe, but did not someone state on here that "Irony" was wasted on a forum ? ?

It is not because we have nothing better to do. Stop being so small minded.
It is because some people WILL voice their opinion about matters when they think the matter in question is wrong, irrespective of whom may be upset by it.
To introduce "how paid" at such a late stage is not good at all ( it is the same as advertising an hour long clock, collecting all the money in, then 5 minutes before the start saying it will now be a 15 minute clock imo)- irrespective of the reasons. As I have said, if this was announced at the start then I doubt it would of caused as much debate.
Not only do you have to have the money paid into a blue square account, you have to wait 5 days for it to arrive, then a further 3-4 days for the cash to hit your account (using Neteller) which makes a total of over 1 week. You also have the currency fluctuations to deal with along with associated fees of withdrawing.
How about people who would rather deal in cash, for what ever reason.
What about the people who do not have a bank account? Can your winnings be paid to another person for them to withdraw? I would not think so.
Just because this issue does not affect you, it may affect others because of their circumstances.
WASP:
Yep I am small minded and very ironic but those are my issues and I promise to work on them.
I just think that without Bluesq there would be no APAT tour they plow tens of thousands into this tour every year and to call them cynical, irresponsible, slag their software and for them to be given the rub down on an open forum is bad form, please don"t bite the hand that feeds you.
People are prepared to sit in casinos paid for by Bluesq, have their reg fee paid for by Bluesq, be dealt by a dealer paid for by Bluesq, eat dinner paid for by Bluesq and take added money and seats off Bluesq, I may be small minded but not enough to realise that a minor inconvenience like signing up for an account and waiting a few days to be paid is not too much to give back.
And you are right it doesn"t affect me (or anyone in fact) as you have to cash first to have this problem so not a bad problem to have after all and if you don"t cash how have your circumstances been affected?
Chipaccrual:
This is a very frustrating thread. Rest assured that there are reasons why this decision has had to be made, as Des has mentioned.
Hopefully, payments can be made in cash at DTD, but it is always good to have a backup plan.
It is also better to be upfront about it. You only have to ask those lucky enough to have collected their winnings from Vienna last year by cheque from the poker club. I think it took a little longer than 2 days to get access to the funds. ;)
We are dealing here with APAT, DTD & Blue Square, which are three very respected poker organisations, who will be doing what is best for the poker players.
I for one would be very happy if money has to be paid into my Blue Square account as that would mean I have cashed. (So, in reality, this is not a problem I will need to worry about) ;D
Anyway, come Thursday, if anyone has played well enough to cash, I"m sure it will not matter as much, unless you just enjoy debating anyway.
