Sigh... played through a bonus on a blacklisted casino

I was just playing around on some free cash on various online casinos, and happened to take a $150 chip from "Palace of Chance", a member of a blacklisted casino group. Luckily (?) I managed to get through the 40x playthrough and they told me I could cash out for as much as $300. I've been going through their annoying payout process...
What are my prospects? Has anyone been paid from the Virtual Casino Group, especially from a bonus? I'm sure they will be hesitant to pay out, but is it worth my time to continue badgering them?

$300?! No wonder they are blacklisted. By way of comparison, Bovada allows up to $3,000 at a time.
Do you mean you can cash out $300 at a time, or no more than $300 ever?

300 max on the bonus. I had around 600 after the 40x playthrough, would love to actually be able to cash that free money out.

Free is nice and playing around in nice... but when you throw into the mix something about blacklisted sites, I sure think its a waste of time.

I think next time, you really need to check out some things in life in order to go to a legit thing. I hope all would be well in the future for this one.

Sorry for the dumb question (ok three questions)
1. What is a blacklisted casino group or casino?
2. Who blacklisted them?
3. Aren't all online casinos illegal?
Don't get me wrong, I think they are a good idea for tax revenue. I live in WA state where online gambling carries the same crime class as having sex with a dead body, or sexual misconduct with a minor, or burglarizing someone's home or business.

1. What is a blacklisted casino group or casino?
The Wizard for one has blacklisted a few, info at WoO site.
2. Who blacklisted them?
I think there are other lists too.
3. Aren't all online casinos illegal?
The only thing clearly illegal is betting on sports across state lines using a "wire", an old federal law as the terminology suggests. The Feds have tried to interpret this as "all betting" across state lines, this seems partially to depend on which current administration for what is being pushed. During the "W" administration the banks were told they could not participate in funding online gamblers, so to gamble online you had to jump through hoops. There was a recent crackdown too. No prosecution of actual gamblers ever took place as far as I know. [edits]
If you live in Canada using Canadian banks you are good to go. You could probably say the same thing about most countries in the world.
Recently, it seems due to a ruling we will see the ability to buy state issued lottery tickets online, and if you live in state X and want to go for state Y's lottery, it will be OK. This is right around the corner. Could be this will expand, and states will have all types of gambling except sports betting online.
I believe I have all that right.

Interesting, thanks for the answers.
Wouldn't being able to buy another state's lottery ticket detract from the revenue of the state you live in? Wouldn't they want to expressly forbid that?
Like I said before, no gambling online for me. Class C felony here in WA. I'd have to accumulate at least 5 DUI's in ten years to make that a felony charge...... just unreal.
Shoplifting = Misdemeanor
Online Gambling = Felony
Hitting someone in the face = Misdemeanor
Online Gambling = Felony
Impersonating a Police Officer or Active Duty Military Member = Misdemeanor
Online Gambling = Felony
Getting 4 DUI's in as many days = Misdemeanor
Online Gambling = Felony
Ok Ok, I'm just venting.
Good night.

I always suspected that place was a bunch of closet fascists...
Just kidding, I liked WA when I visited about 20 years ago...

What WA? I suppose things could always be different or better anywhere you live. It isn't that bad. :)
