It looks like SportingbetUSA's still jerking my chain on a decent-sized Neteller payout.

General, I guess I should E-Mail you the particulars to forward to Jay Leno. Is your E-Mail address generalpete@therx.com ?
 
Jay, when you have time could you explain the difference with a book like Linsmaker who uses Starnet software and seems to have the exact lines as Sportsbook.com but isn't on your list?

Thanks,

Linesmaker has a private owner. He retains the services and guarantee of accounts being paid in exchange and gives them a piece of the bottom line. In a nut shell this guy sits at home and waits for the mail to come.

LOL

I assure you that thousands of payouts go through without being held up on a daily basis.

Paid in full as of tonight.

Thanks Jay and General for your willingness to help. If there's a "next time", I may take you up on the offer.

Marc---Thanks for sharing. Sportsfanatik did this same shit with me on my id. I posted up through western union. This was about 2 years ago, I cashed out and told them to kiss my ass, I will never return. Too many good books out there to screw around with low lifes like that group.

"Sportfanatik" sounds like a really terrible user name who struggles with his spelling and occasionaly gets booed for bad plays.

you mean some one actaully has a business by this name?!?!?

Jay,

I apologize, I thought this thread got buried, and just now noticed it. On Saturday I emailed sportsfanatik and they said that my wire would go out today. Just as Ninja said, there was no apology for the delay. Clearly the address I provided them, and the address on my credit card, and the address on my bank account all match. So there is no logical explanation as to why my account went into audit.

As far as scamming goes, let me make this clear. I do have accounts at many of the sister sites. EFS is aware of it. But I have 1 and only 1 account at each site. Whenever I want to bet over the limit. I always call. I never use my accounts to exceed the stated limits. The primary reason I have accounts at other sites is that if I want to deposit more than $1000, I either have to call in the deposit or deposit or make multiple deposits online. But if I call in the deposit, my bank will charge me finance charges, whereas if I make multiple online deposits, I won't get hit with those charges.

If I don't get confirmation today that the wire went out, I will let you know.

But based off of what Ninja said, it does feel like they were stalling. BTW, while this was going on, allstarsportsbook sent me a $2100 wire

A couple of things.

1. To deposit more online or over the phone, make sure your card is "hyperactive". By doing this it raises your monthly and daily limits.

2. If you get cash advance fees, they will pick them up for you.

3. Stalling and having other accounts to look at is two different things. I have said it time and time again they have 8 people just in fraud looking at many accounts that have been flagged. You aren't 1 of 5 you are 1 of 500 for that day and the number rolls daily.

4. The clerk or CS rep has no authority to say wether or not the fax is good or not, they don't even see the fax. They look in a document server to see if they have received it or not. The fraud department then goes through the docs flagging which ones are readable and not.

Jay,

Didn't know it was possible to raise my daily credit card limit. I'll try to do that. It would defintely help a lot.

What I don't understand, is why they simply couldn't have just called my credit card company 1 more time to double check. That would have save everyone a lot of time and heartache. And considering how many deposits and withdrawals I've made over the past year and a half, from a CS point of view, the smart thing would be to send out my withdrawal, and then ask me to send them the documnetatyion before making any further deposits or withdrawals. I don't know if anyone cares whtehr I play at sportsbook.com or at spotfanatik.com But based on my experience I will never play at sportfanatik again

I would guess that another reason marc doesn't want the CC deposit charged as a cash advance is because he's racking up the Reward Points on his CC each time he makes a purchase using it. If the transaction is designated as a cash advance, he doesn't get the Reward Points.

Hal,

That's only 99% of the reason. The otherreason is because its a hassle to have to fax over my credit card statements (thats why I know they should have had my credit card statemnets on file, unless they got shredded).

And yes, I did accumulate enough miles to take my wife and I to Hawaii first class. I'm now working on getting cash towards a new car. I just need to make 1.5 million in deposits and I can get $30,000 towards a new car.

Many points I agree with you on and I argued them tooth and nail for years on the customers I dealt with on a daily basis via email and phone. Hopefully change comes for you and other folks as well.
