The sportsbooks that are having trouble are Bodog, Betus, and of course Jazette/sportsbook.com and family. If any books are curreently being targeted by the DOJ, these 3 would be at the top of the list, which might explain why they are having such difficulty finding processors to work with them. The goods ones might not want to risk getting involved with these guys.
My issue isn't "slow pay'. If their processors can only handle a certain quantity a day, I'm willing to get on line and wait my turn. The problem with sportsbook.com is that they aren't paying people in the order the requests were submitted. It seems to be somehwat random. Their whole attitude has been just wait, eventually you'll get paid. Maybe not this month or next month, but with 6 molnths you should get your money. And if it takes longer, so be it. You would think, by now, a decent compnay would assign at least 1 person to make sure that everyone who has been waiting since Feb for thier money get paid right away. But those people are getting any special treatment. No one seems to care.
It also baffles the mind on why they keep insisting that a batch of checks went out on May 16th. Surely they can't believe that these checks went out, when everyone is reporting back that they haven't recieved them. So why are they making us wait. I wonder if they are just stalling for time to find another processor.
I think people who continue to deposit with them are begging for trouble. The German processors lasted less than 2 months. They can lose thier current processor at any time, and there is already a huge backlog, and right now it's slow season. So if they lose this processor, it could be another few months before people get paid.
Has anyone waiting on a check for $2500 or less called the processor recently. The processor would have no incentive to lie. Either they are still sending checks, or they've stopped.
