Anyone get a check from BODOG recently?

[strangething007]

:monsters-

Dude what a joke this book is...take 6 weeks to pay and now they say dont cash them. I would have them pay thos e fees and make sure they dont take another 6 weeks to get paid

Yeah. I could not belive it myself. I jut called customer service and they said I can put those funds back and get a 10% bonuse or they can resent me the checks withing the next 5 to 7 business days. The CS guarantee that the checks will arrive within the time frame. Oh yeah... I have to sent a copy of my statement to them for verification before they will credit back the fees. What a buch of crap!!! I told the CS to sent me the checks again.

What is he smoking??!!!:monsters- Asking me to put the funds back into the account!!!:think2: :think2: :think2: I don't thnik I will ever deposit in this book again!!!! I'm considering withdrawal the rest of my funds in there now.

I had to leave a voice mail message, so I gave a brief description of the problem along with my home phone with my contact at Bodog. If I do not hear anything in two hours I will call again. One way or another we will get to the bottom of this today.

they broke my payout into 3 payments.

i got two Saturday, waiting on the 3rd

I can't believe that they sent the request to the processor and couldn't stop it the next day so I could receive a WU. I called them again yesterday and they said the request goes to Cananda first and then to their processor elsewhere.

I was hoping to take a vacation with the money and my reservations are all set along with the rental car. I emailed them today and never got a response which is unusual for them. I didn't even get that "Auto Reply" that they usually send out. I always swore by Bodog when there was NETeller because they'd get the money in your NETeller account before God got the news! How can an outfit like Caribsports.com get you the money in one day and Bodog can't?

Has anyone received a WU payout recently?

I just requested last night for a WU payout and the automated response after it was processed by Bodog said that it would take an average of 10 business days which I understand is the standard message but realistically should take less time.

Has anyone received there WU payout recently? If so how long did it take to receive your money?

last year i won 3000.00 in a poker tournament and they wouldn't pay me until i supplied a picture id, drivers license and a bank statement. i told them to fk off. still never got pd. GARBAGE BOOK.

their is no excuse to not be paid in a timely manner. six weeks is a joke. as i've said before, if poker stars can have you a ck in 3 days, why can't everyone else use the same method of payment?

I agree with you. I've also heard a few more places that still pay like nothing has happened/changed.

If it is possible to be done and examples of it being done, there is no excuse!

whats a real joke is that some people believe that these deliberate attempts to slow pay ( such as requiring picture id's bank accounts, etc) are ok if they eventually pay up. They happily accept money without any of the above and none should be required to withdraw either. If anything you might figure that requiring proof of identity, age etc would come on the front end, not the back.

 

[strangething007]

I still have not recieve any email or anything from them on the confirmation that they sent out my check.

I'm just crossing my fingers that it will arrive by the end of next week as stated by ther CS rep.

 

[wilheim]

Strangething007, I am working on it everyday and have a great contact at Bodog who always helps me immediately but he is either on holiday or out sick because I have left 6 voice mails over the last two days and have not heard back yet. If he is still not in tomorrow I will take a different approach but one way or another you will get paid any funds that are rightfully yours ASAP. Please maintain a little longer, I won't give up until this is settled.

Wow Wilheim, i just wanted to take this time to tell you how grateful we are to have you. You always come to the aid to us RXers, and make sure things get done right.

Thank You for everything you do man. Really, Thank You. You are a true class act.

 

[BAGIANT]

Wil just tried to help me with his contact today, and while not being able to get the check within my time frame, he helped me find out it should be at my home by next week.

At least this way I can have the person watching my dogs and my neighbor be on the lookout for the Fed Ex. Thanks again Wil.

 

[BAGIANT]

Believe me, I wish had gone the WU route. I wouldn't be going through this nonsense right now.

AWESOME WORK WIL :aktion033 :aktion033 :aktion033

I just got the tracking number from FedEx and will let everyone know when the check is cashed.

Bodog is in excellent financial shape.

I spoke with Bodog yesterday the problem with checks definitely is not for lack of available funds. I emailed both players waiting for checks yesterday and explained where their withdrawals stand and both should be hearing from Bodog today with further information.

The problem with Bodog right now is similar to the problem with several other books, checks take longer than they used to. Bodog advertises 10 to 15 business days on their websites for checks to be delivered via couriers such as Fed Ex. They realise this is not what players want and are working hard on getting this option speeded up, hopefully that will happen soon. Western Union is a much quicker option right now and you can get one free WU withdrawal per week. They do advise players even WU can take up to 10 business days but the truth is they want to err on the side of caution. I know for certain the entire payout structure at Bodog is being looked at with an eye on speeding up all methods of payment.

The important thing to remember is this is not because of lack of cash, that is not what is causng the delays with checks, the problem lies with the processor banks. Since Neteller went down for US residents this has been a common problem, I know some books have better arrangements with their banks but that doesn't mean that all books have the same type of relationship with their banks. The issue is complicated by being global in scope and basically right now is part of the reality of doing business Offshore.

I remain available to all Rxers at wilheim@therx.com back-up person19481950@yahoo.com if any of you want me to inquire into you withdrawals. I am certain Stuckinvegas and Something007 will both be paid soon. My contatct at Bodog was away for two days but is back at his desk now and will give me an update on any Rxer who feels their withdrawal is overdue.


Thanks, wilheim..


PS. That is great news Strangething007.

Okay....got my checks yesterday but I'm being cautious with these checks. They seem to be the same ones that were bounced by my bank. They don't have the small routing number on them. I'm going to call Wil's contact to verify that these checks are good before I deposit it and get charge again.

I'll let everyone know once the check are cashed and clear by my bank.
