I see theyre rated a C.

I was with them 6 months ago and got an extreme slowpay as they froze all withdraws for some reason or other. I got out (with the help of Bill) and was paid in full. I believe they stopped all operations (both deposits and w/d's) in this period but I'm not too sure.

Did they pay everyone after the freeze? Anything pending? Thoughts on playing there again?

Yeah they were terrific for quite awhile there. They had the reduced juice - and the limits kept increasing. They seemed like they were trying to push into Pinnacle's market. Customer Service was good.

I wonder if bonuses got them in trouble.

My records show I haven't used them since Feb. I must have got out just in time because I never had any payout issues.

I'd love to use them again if they could return to old form.

Trojan got a little nervous after the Neteller-US debacle. They put players second for a short time and showed their size. We were able to help a few players get book2book transfers when they weren't able to send out through other methods. To our knowledge, everyone was eventually taken care of 100%.

Topcat has been around a long time and has a good thing going outside of postup. When the waters were calm Mike did handle things fairly including prorating a bonus when he didn't want the sharp action. Trojan had a tough time finding their niche and I'm surprised to see their site designed to bring in new post-up. They added a few new transfer methods and a $500 max bonus.

I played there a year ago until they kicked me out but I was paid the moment they suspended my account. Their CS was great and payouts were extremely fast.
there were slowpays during the neteller problems but only for US customers. I believe European bettors were paid with same speed as before.

As Bill mention above already. Topcat has been around for 20+ years as a credit shop, and to this day it's still it's strong point. I believe there first attempt at going post up years ago was a flop, but it does look like they made adjustments to correct there mistakes. That whole "throw the sharps out" stuff was a business decision, and even though I personally didn't care for it at all, I did understand the move and I can't fault them for that IMHOO.

I also see that Raiders mentioned that Mike is always available if you have any issues, and I can confirm that fact to be true. Mike always took my calls if I contacted with a problem.

I wouldn't be lead to believe that money is a problem for this company, but who really knows for sure accept Mike and the rest of the TopCat brass.

And Mike might turn out to be the last to know. Wouldn't be the first time that turned out to be the case with the out-front guy.
