June 2014 US Offshore Payment Processing Report

Cashout speeds have remained strong for most U.S.-facing offshore sites. There is a lull in activity this time of year as players head to Las Vegas for the World Series of Poker or go on other vacations.This has made it difficult for us to obtain information for two sites this month. For those, we maintained the previous month’s grade and noted the lack of information.
