That is typical actually.
It seems that 95% of my players with this group you are dealing with wait at least a month to get paid and many get put on hokey payments of $500 per week while they deposited over 10k. It is no wonder that this group are thought of so poorly. Players don’t go back to them after this treatment. It is the most backwards way of operating I have ever seen.
Interestingly, regarding the no money to pay theory: As an affiliate (AKA PARTNER) With shark I would have much more appreciated them just telling me the truth about it rather than the 1,000+ lies that they told me while intending to steal and not pay. That became utterly disgusting to hear after a while.
