Bodog Slow Payouts?

[pokerdog21]

hey im just wondering if u requested ur check b y courier or by mail? if so do they give u any tarcking #s? damn im' still waiting for mine, i reuqested on april 7 and got approved on 21st but nothings in today so just pray and hope it'll come oson!

It came by Priority Mail. I didn't get a tracking number, but I didn't ask for one either. My advice is be patient. Since your request was a week later than mine, I would say you should get all of yours by end of next week.

well.. i did get paid.. but your article is interesting

Bodog eat dog

Well, it's now May 17, and I'm still waiting for the $4200 that was an approved payout (via check by mail) from Bodog on April 13.

BoDog Check Bounced

After BoDog said my check was on it's way April 6th for $1,000, I received it last Friday (5/18), and it bounced today! BoDog is a sinking ship. They said the "routing number was incorrect". Yea, right, routing number was wrong. This is total crap. Now I have to wait another 7 - 10 business days for the check to be "Fed Ex'd". I don't know of any FedEx service that takes 7 - 10 business days. BoDog sucks!

But cannot possibly be experiencing a SLOW PAY from BODOG

After all they would clearly have been downgraded by SBR if they were in SLOW PAY mode, ADVERTISER or NOT

**NOTE** THE SARCASM

I suggest anyone being slow paid by BODOG ask John or Bif Dozer why BODOG has not been downgraded.

About 2 months ago Bodog sent me a $1500 payout and I deposited the check. They sent me an email about 2 weeks later saying there was a problem and not to cash the check and they were sending a new one. The first check cleared and I was simply planning on ignoring the second check when it came. However, my wife opened the mail and simply deposited it about a week ago without asking me first since she just deposits anything sent to me that she sees. Given all the hassles with books since late last year I have decided not to correct their mistakes anymore.

If they find their error I am fine with them deducting my account $1500. However, as of now I have been double paid by Bodog.

[BigBollocks]

How BoDog is above a C is truly beyond me. The forums are just littered with folks who haven't received checks requested via FedEx for months at a time.

What BoDog is doing to North Americans is flat out wrong....

[xavierinthenati]

Does anyone know of an online site that actually does payout on time AND have checks that don't bounce?

[claggart]

Bodog poo

Well, I'm just praying that my checks from Bodog don't bounce if I actually get them. Bill's contacted them on my behalf, and I called today, and they're saying the mid to the end of this week is the most likely time frame (May 23-26). This is roughly six weeks from the approval date (April 13) and this is what it seems most people have been reporting (at least for checks by mail, which is what I requested for my $4200). I do know this-- I will never, ever use Bodog again. I just hope that someone on here can suggest a reliable, honest book that will not give North American players any "Bodog" (to suggest a new coinage). In other words, what A+ book do players recommend? The last time I choose an A+ book, it was downgraded to A shortly thereafter. Need I say more?

Ouch. Can't blame you for being upset. Did you try to use **? That might be the fastest end to this. Make sure to let them know about any fees you incurred from your bank.

Please do keep us posted Claggart. Two fellow players who were waiting from the same point received theirs today. We are going to call in the morning to find out the source of the bounced check problem. Hopefully it has been addressed and they are willing to compensate for the issue.

Regarding A+ books servicing the US, BetJamaica/Greek have the only perfect post-Neteller record. Books are still on bumpy roads and it will probably get worse before it gets better when football volume peaks again.

Amazing how no one from SBR addresses the BODOG Rating

Amazing the silence advertising dollars can buy ( along with the High Rating )

I received my check yesterday (5/21/07) that was approved for payment on 4/11/07. The check had a date on it of 5/02/07, so who knows if it's going to bounce.

[doug1616]

six weeks

I recieved a 5k payout on 5/8 that was requested on 4/8
I have a 1k payout from 4/13 thats still overdue. I hope wait times dont keep increasing bdog is my main poker site. I love their software and would hate to switch.

[DrunkenLullaby]

For God's sake, people, keep the payment processing info confidential.

Good luck with that.

[BigBollocks]

I have read this, and have also read that the recent bust in Las Vegas involving BetUs and four as yet "un-named sportsbooks" also made reference to Philipino citizens being hired to process payouts. Is this what it has come to? Posters yakking away with info that should be kept private, and the next thing you know, the Feds are on to one of Bodog's payment processing methods. Bodog has tried to legitamize online gambling the last few years, and as a result, they have become a target of the DOJ. Now they probably have to contend with the DOJ closely watching every ** pymnt. coming out of the Phillipines and who is recieving it. I think Calvin Ayre has sacrificed enough for online gamblers. I read somewhere he made his fortune by hauling fruit across the prairies and astute stock-market plays. For God's sake, people, keep the payment processing info confidential. Next thing you know, Bodog will be going the way of BetOn Sports, Gary Kaplan, and the DoDo bird. Extinct. And Ayre could be made the poster-boy for anti-gambling forces, Focus on the Family, John Kyl, Jim Frist. I know Calvin Ayre was a business partner of Jack Abramhoff, and look what happened to him. Let's not let the same thing happen to Calvin Ayre. He's fighting for us!!

Wow first post in and you dote on Calvin Ayre for a paragraph? This is so absurd and laughable it's ridiculous. Calvin Ayre has helped online gambling and is "fighting for us"??? Calvin Ayre is a con artist---always has been, always will be. His showboating and grandstanding are part of what has drawn such a spotlight on the industry. I have no doubt that he'll be busted sooner rather than later, and when he does I also have no doubts he won't return a penny to BoDog punters (he may just stiff everyone eventually anyways, as BoDog is already taking two months to get bad checks to North Americans as is). He hasn't done one damn thing to help this industry, and has hurt it more far more than he has ever helped it....

Speaking for myself. Both my checks so far have been good no problem. First two took a month. coming up on a month and a half for the next...5x smaller...one. I don't think that there is proper evidence that the sky is falling yet. I do wonder though, what is causing all this that is bodog specific.

Bump

[xavierinthenati]

Will the second BoDog check bounce too?

Ouch. Can't blame you for being upset. Did you try to use **? That might be the fastest end to this. Make sure to let them know about any fees you incurred from your bank.

I got my second $1K check today to make up for the "wrong routing number" on the first check that bounced. We'll see if it clears in a couple days.

[claggart]

The check is (no longer) in the mail

Well, just got the $4200 that was processed on April 13. It came today (May 29) via FedEx. Here's to praying the checks don't bounce!

Just an absolutely spectacular post. I also greatly appreciate the fact that you spelled 'ridiculous' correctly. That's a rarity in the various sports forums.

Again I will point out to everyone that the timeline of significant negative events taking place in this industry seems very much to owe its starting point to the Forbes interview of one Calvin Ayre the Billionaire.

[brismi]

i have been with bodog for years now, and never had a prob with payouts, i requested a payout via west union, just like i usually do and they told me i asked for it normal mail, BS, i know what i said, and now ill be waiting forever to get the dam thing

[The Heim]

Come on guys...if you're semi-serious about sports wagering you
shouldn't be using Bodog anyways.

They're a square book the dumps anyone that has a clue....

[DoctorJ]

Made a deposit 2 months ago, it cleared my bank within the first week. And of course, still pending on bodog so that they can't send me a payout.

[BuddyBear]

These kind of statements are retardad....the other day Bodog had TB +144 while Pinnacle had them +131 and Betjm had them +135. Now if you are serious about sportsbetting and wanted to bet TB which book would you place your bet at?

Well, that would just be a blatantly false statement.

partner a "square" book leans with favorites so in your analogy
the price on the favorite would be greater than Pinny and other
books....

Try getting on a dog streak with them and then tell me what they
cut your limits to...

great book if you like having limits of $250...

So where would you place that bet i was talking about if you were serious about sports betting?

Even though they aren't an A book....it is also worth noting that SIA has done a good job......

bodog tournaments

just curious.....i play most big bodog tourn and they never have enough entrys to equal guarantee...typically they have 600 entries in a 50k guarantee w a 50 entry....is bodoog throwing 20k in?....how do they make money....its like that every big tournamnent

[Wild Reet]

Requested a ** withdraw from Slodog today. They told me 5-7 days.

[ColdEyeMe]

What happened to this thread. Did everyone suddenly get paid by Bodog?

You'd think we'd have heard something.

You'd think we'd have heard something.

not yet, I have 5 checks apparently on the way but the 15-20 business day minimum has not yet been reached on even the 1st check so we'll see.

I'll have a better idea on how slow they are this week...

[boredtodeath]

Did Everyone Get Paid!?

I doubt that everyone got paid. The posts are split between this thread and the Bodog employee thread.

I am not getting anywhere with support and I am down right MAD!

They refuse to change it to western union even though it has not yet been processed or even close to the check being issued. They first advised me 5-10 days on courier now they say it can take up to 30 days. THIS IS BS

Some thing is really wrong. Even non-us players aren't getting paid and checks are bouncing.

No where to turn. THIS SUCKS
