pointbet slowpay

[ba70]

Yes, Ok with payment.

[bigboydan]

Glad to hear you guys finally received payment

[deltanovember]

I am still waiting for a bank wire requested on 10 December. However I am glad to hear that at least some people are being paid. If other pointbet members can post the status of their withdrawal requests here that would be very helpful.

[pjesnik24]

try moneybookers if they have not processed it yet. It seems that moneybookers is funded now

First off, let me welcome you to the SBR forum

Payment update - I have been paid via moneybookers but my larger bank wire withdrawal is still pending.

[deltanovember]

Hi bigboydan thanks for the welcome. I've sent an e-mail to Assistance@SportsbookReview.com and BillDozer to keeping track of my query. If it's any comfort to others members Pointbet have always paid me in the past and I have a history with them going back to 24 November 2003. In that time they have paid me some very large amounts (more than $50,000) even though they are generally slower than other books (3-7 days for a Pointbet payment).

[deltanovember]

Anyone else have any updates for this thread? I'm still awaiting the remainder of my payments.

Hi

I have been waiting for a Moneybookers withdrawal of 935.19 Euros since December 22nd. I have had one pm from Pointbet which read:

From Cashier
Subject Re: Late payment
Message Dear Sir / Madam

Thank you for your message.
Last month, there were so many withdrawal requests made by members, therefore we are processing it all with 1st in 1st out, we are sorry for the delayed which it might have caused, hopefully your turn will come near these days.

Regards,

Joe C


Since this message, Pointbet has not answered and of my Pm's and I am still awaiting my payment.

This book obviously has problems with its finances and I would advise anyone to stay well clear of it.

I only wish that I had been aware of the information regarding Pointbet, which was posted on this website and various others before I deposited the funds in the first place.



Still......I live and learn.

[SBR_John]

Thanks for the report deltanovember.

Its so difficult to even imagine a bookie slow paying long term customers. Well, unless....

We need to all stay on them.

[Dizzy]

At the time of writing this post, the Pointbet website appears to be down again.

Is anybody actually getting paid from Pointbet or is everybody still waiting?

If people could continue to post here on the status of their withdrawls both paid and unpaid. This would help others get a clear picture of whats going on.

I have been looking at other forums on the net regarding this issue and some people just stop posting.

It is not clear if these people have been paid or just got fed up or went elsewhere.

My status is still unchanged. I am waiting on a Moneybookers withdrawl since December 22nd and Pointbet have stopped answering my messages.

[deltanovember]

Hi John I understand the subtext of your post however the most disconcerting aspect of the whole affair is not that they're slow paying me (although obviously I do find that worrying)...it's that they don't appear to be paying anybody anymore...the payout reports appear to have dried up completey. At least if someone was being paid I could sleep a little easier.

Pointbet is a favourite of arbitrage players. This is because, often, its odds are out of line.
In addition it offers attractive bonuses.

These things can spell trouble for any book that is not careful.
If pointbet does not tighten-up it will go out of business.But at the moment it seems to accept the recurring problem of getting hit.

[deltanovember]

althelegend I have to contend both the points you made in your previous post. I am a close follower of lines and I think it's a big stretch to claim that pointbet odds are often "out of line". In my experience, they are often first to react to major announcements and they are almost never too far away from Betfair odds. I also haven't seen any of the bonuses that you are talking about. I don't follow the casino side of things but their sportsbook bonuses are very frugal.

They are only out of line compared to the european soccer books.
If the asian market changes its odds, Pointbet follows this movement earlier than the european books. Therefore it seems Pointbet would be out of line, but most of the time finally the european books recognize that _they_ are out of line and sooner or later their odds go in the direction of Pointbets odds (I only talk about soccer now, which is at the same time the main sports of Pointbet).

[Gr8Scott]

I have been waiting for over a month now on my last moneybookers withdrawal.
the only answer i get every week is

We are process your withdrawal, we will send it as soon as possible to your account.

I realy hope that they dont shut down.

[deltanovember]

Any updates from anyone? I'm still awaiting 10 December bank wire.

I always thought Pointbet takes an early beating which sharpens them up. You are right that the Euro BMs are watching them, the island books as well.

Delta,

This may be the worst it has been for Pointbet players and slow-pays. It's clear that this is more than PB letting its only eWallet merchant account become underfunded. They have been struggling for months now.

Our Mgr. contact hasn't been on chat in quite a while but we will try to find out something more tonight.

[Gr8Scott]

Any news about this problem? has everybody got their money?
I have not, and same answer everytime- you will get your money soon.

[deltanovember]

Hi Gr8Scott I'm still waiting. This is by far the worst slow pay episode in my three year history with the book.

[jigger]

1 month wait now!!

Hi

Today (saturday) I have been waiting 1 month for my payout, I'm not sure if its worth going on live chat as you just get the same answer everytime to be patient, I end up losing it with them but think this will only delay my payout even longer?
Does anyone think they will payout at all?

The only thing I cling onto is years ago I was owed 5k by Internet 1x2 it took me allmost a year to get it out of them but in the end they paid!!

[adeandabet]

Whats really annoying is that not only are they not paying, I can never access their site? Is it just me (I'm in Oz) or does everyone heave the same problem.

Hope they pay soon, because I always realy liked them as a book

I haven´t been able to access their website for the last few days either, I got an e-mail from them 2 days ago with a new temporary link to their website, but it also doesn´t work.

[JTR]

I just went on their live chat and you can access their website through http://www1.pointbet.com

I was able to log in fine, I also like the fact that they gave a commission bonus on a bet I placed, no other bookie I have used has done this.

I think/hope everyone will get their withdrawals soon!

[jigger]

Poitbet payout

Just to let every one know I have been payed 1500gbp by pointbet this morning 16th Jan, I have had to wait 4weeks 3 days for this!!

Hope every one else gets paid soon!!

[boyowen]

They owe me around 2,000gbp. I requested the payout by moneybookers

I have been waiting for 5 weeks and I haven't been paid yet!

Most of the asian books are doing that.

[Gr8Scott]

Hi again, i still have not got my money and i wonder if you who got your money to moneybookers could be so kind and post the dates that you requested your cashout.
So we other can see where in line we are to hopfully get our money.

[Dizzy]

Today I am exactly 1 month waiting for a moneybookers withdrawl. Does anyone know what the situation is with pointbet?

Are they still paying players?

Has anyone else on here been paid recently?

Did you find out anything more that night, or any other night.

Still no payment for me.

[winning2007]

they paid for me after 3 week by bank wine.

[bigboydan]

Glad to see they finally paid somebody.

Might I ask how much they sent you?
