ok, so i know how this is going to come off, and i dont mind any judgment hurled at me, but i feel i have logic and reason on my side here. first off let me say that i know how stupid i was for gambling the money away, and that i probably just sound like a whiney baby now who cant accept losing, but here me out.

So i recently got into a whole conundrum and ended up losing about 1300 dollars in one month on bodog sports book, this is the most money i have ever lost from gambling in such a short span of time. About a month ago i had made my initial deposit of 100 dollars on bodog, after increasing it to about 250, i decided i wanted to cash out, and much to my bemoaning, i was denied the cash out because of "security concerns" and "identity verification" (we've all been through this.) Since i did not own a scanner, or a fax machine (until about a week ago) i figured i would just gamble "lightly" until i got around to going to the library and getting all the documentation they required in order, and sent out to them.

well, as you can guess, i ended up losing the 250, and was down to zilch. so, i decided to chase like a donkey chasing a carrot and proceeded to make numerous deposits over the next month totaling about 1300 dollars (100, 400, 300, 200, 220.) and despite bodog "security concerns" they still accepted the money! how does that not defy logic? unless the logic is that bodog nefariously denied my initial cashout in an attempt (albeit successfully) to goad me into losing the money i had won, and further deposited.

so do i have a legitimate right to claim that the money deposited after the initial denial of withdrawal, is null and void, by their own logic? If it is the security of the card holder they are worried about, how come they accepted deposits, when such a thing would be more damaging to a persons credit then allowing a cash out?

please, advice is needed.

thanks...

i'm not a lawyer, but there's definatley a zilch chance you can get your cash back.

the security concern and identification are only rules to do with withdrawing, not depositing

BL on the chasing. Use it as a life lesson if theres any positives from it

dont wish me luck on such a thing please, you should always discourage such fecklessness. i hope i can get atleast something back, but i know the chances are very slim, and im not looking forward to anything. As for the chasing, im definitely done gambling of any kind for at least 2 months. losing 1300 sucks, but its far from tragic.

I'm sorry to tell you this but you have zero chance in getting a refund on your deposits. No one forced you to make deposits and Bodogs security is fairly common in this industry. They have separate requirements for deposits and withdrawls with nothing unusual. Unfortunately, this is a tough business and can be harsh, but we all learn by our mistakes. Chalk it up to one of life's lessons.

Just call your Credit Card Co or bank and issue a Charge back.. Works every time.. lol.. I had a book bounce a check to me for a grand and I promptly Charged back $3400 and Recieved every penny.. You may not be able to deposit at some places.. But Fuck em.. If they dont pay or give you a hassle when you want your $$.. The old easy deposits yes we will take your money but we will make you jump through 23 hoops if you want a payout trick..

all you do is tell your bank that you a) dont know where the charges came from or b) didnt authorize the charges c) Ordered Merchandise and never received it.. They WILL refund your money.. The Books never respond bc they dont want to lose their cc processing abilities.. There you go..

Slimy piece of shit scammer. If you deposit, then own up to your responsibility. You ruin shit for the working man.
