    GTBets Payouts - delayed for anyone else?

    After being told I can't use Bitcoin for WDs (I didn't originally deposit with it), I've been using wires.

    In the past they've come in a couple of days. Now I'm going on a week and a half and am waiting for two of them.

    Anyone else using them? I'm sure they have multiple brokers, so I'm curious if anyone else has had a slow down?

    Knew that whole bitcoin withdrawals without using it was going to be a crock with GTBets. Took them 30 minutes to change their mind on that but did not hold not surprisingly.

    Not really. They announced they were going to take bitcoin and then people complained about not doing withdrawals unless using it to deposit and they had SBR post that they would do it but it was BS. They want those fees.

    There have been periodic complaints here about waiting for two weeks for a "slot" to open for a GT w/d. No big deal. Will just have to wait it out.

    They did the same to me. I must deposit via Bitcoin to withdrawn via Bitcoin. Was nice why it lasted.

    Ronald definitely does not like GTBets. Something about a dispute on bonuses, I think.

    Alright GT Bets, this is your week! Going on business day 9 for the longer of my two wires. I'll keep the three of you who are interested, updated!

    Also even though I have a 5 figure balance, I asked them if I deposited the minimum amount of Bitcoin, could I now withdraw that way? And also I double checked I wouldn't have to rollover my entire balance....

    They said yes that would work. So I deposited some Bitcoin and I now have a Bitcoin WD in the pipeline and I'll report if they actually accept it. My original deposit way back when was plastic.

    Shocker - today they said even though I just deposited via BC, since my CC deposits greatly outweigh my BC deposits my only option is wire. Very disappointing but it was to be expected.

    The best thing is for players who want to be paid exclusively in bitcoin is to deposit the same way all of the time. This goes for any sportsbook, and would avoid this type of situation.

    how frustrating.

    Sounds like you suspected the CS person didn't have it right, so knew what to expect at least.

    Understood. But the horse has left the barn at this point. So how am I supposed to transition to BC now? Also, to GT Bets credit, they sent me the 3K just now via BC. I'm very surprised...thank goodness for notifications of incoming bitcoins. No word on why they reversed what they told me this morning about not doing the payout. But kudos to them.

    Also an unsolicited plug for Heritage Insider....I wish all customer service folks were as no nonsense as he is. Like in this situation, GT Bets should tell me how I'm wrong and what my options are. Instead they beat around the bush and both of us end up unhappy.

    Probably had a lot to do with the fact that you posted on SBR.

    As I stated earlier in this thread, GTBets claimed to change their policy within 30 minutes of it being posted on SBR. Books wants to keep issues off the board.

    GTBets bitcoin withdrawal policy was for non-credit card deposits, I believe. So the poster would not have been eligible. Remains to be seen if GT will honor bitcoin payouts on P2P deposits. He probably should not get a bitcoin payout.

    12th business day and still no wire...So I chatted with live chat and they said they'd ask the broker to look into it. It used to be that picking winners was the hardest part. :-P

    Is there a way to block this Lily character? She is harassing me in private messages. Football season sure brings out the winners!

    Day 13, still nothing. What is just as bothersome is they never got back to me with word from the broker with any additional information. This all seems like customer service 101 to me.
