    so bookmaker's fees for withdrawing money is OUTRAGEOUS!

    cost $600 to take out $20k???

    i think i need to find a new book after i get my money out of here?

    or is this the normal fee throughout the industry?

    Book to book is cheaper.

    "Normal" for the industry? Cashing out 20k from most books is like finding volunteers for exploratory dental surgery. Huge pain in the ass. They have steep fees. You get your money as clockwork as smaller books paying $600 payouts.

    Send 10k to another book. It will cost you only 200.

    If you're a smaller player, you should look closely at 5dimes if you are still welcome there.

    Average European and Aussie books might charge $5 for a $20,000 transfer..international then maybe like $50

    I transfer 10,001 to another book. Remember that your bank will file with the IRS when you get a wire in excess of 10K. Another option may be taking small chunks out via DC. Congrats on the win!

    "Only" $200. Most Books that do B2B, charge nothing. Regardless, and more importantly, this new book will likely require a 1-2x rollover on the 10k. Depending on the player, this could take some time and cost hundreds more in juice lost on "forced" action. Not sure this is the best route for most IMO.

    I don't think bankwires trigger a CTR. Only cash transactions.

    IMO....$600 for 20k is a small price to pay for a large amount!....I would also NOT recommend you having 20k wired to your bank because they WILL notify the IRS for anything over 10k coming into your account....so at the end of the year you're gonna owe taxes on the 20k in addition to the $600 that Bookmaker charged you.

    Do your homework and see which book has the lowest fees with the fastest payouts and transfer small chunks (3-5k) to that book then cash out at that book.

    and that's what makes bookmaker suck - 600 is outragous - all the payout options are too high - transfer money for 200 but then you will have to roll the amount transferred over at new book. and it's 200 for small amounts to be transferred also - bad lines--high fees=why play there, because they pay, so what, other books pay without making a fortune in fees. again, they suck.

    $600 fee for 20K is pretty fair

    if most were asked to pay 15.00 for a 500.00 w/d they would say 'fine'

    All bank wires are logged. Every last one of them. Cash transactions of $3,000 and up are reported.

    If it costs the same to wire $500 and $20,000, do you think it's ok for the Book to gouge 40x the fee on the larger amount? Most of us don't.

    Just pay it and accept it as part of doing business. I don't like bookmaker because of their juice but $600 to take out $20k sounds fine.

    If you made 20k 600 is change. Unless your in Canada or overseas I would just do a wire for maybe 4k. ** the next week for 2500 and the following another wire for 4k. youll have your money in a month but safe from IRS hounding you

    Dude if you get more than 9900 from overseas wires especially if your at a smaller bank, of course they notify the IRS.
