    Chad Esrath: please bear with me for a moment while I look into this...
    Chad Esrath: Well, yes some have been lost and we are now telling customers to wait approximately 30 days.
    You: Oh Great, more waiting?
    Chad Esrath: Yes sir, unfortunately one of the banks we are using in our pipeline is now rejecting transfers so they are getting stuck in the process.
    Chad Esrath: We are processing withdrawals via check again. Please note, due to the huge backlog of check requests as well as the fact that we're using new processors, your check may take up to 15 business days to be delivered to your address once processed.
    You: XXXX

    it seems odd that you were able to get them to easily admit this in chat no less... nobody i've talked to has admitted to wires being lost ect... not saying i don't believe it, don't know what to believe

    My withdraw was sent on Mar 22th as wire, and today it is the 10 business days. I still havent receive my withdraw and I went to ask the cs

    here is the response:

    Mark Hill: It has come to our attention that some wire withdrawals are taking more than 10 business days to arrive in customers' bank accounts.
    The Withdrawals Department is working with our bank to have all these transactions credited as quickly as possible. The funds should appear in your bank account soon.
    We sincerely apologize for the delay and thank you for your continued patience.


    and they told me will take another 5 days see watup.... :P

    Hi all, just found this site (and in particular, this thread) by Googling "sportsbook.com withdrawal delay". It sounds like I'm in the same boat as a lot of you, here's my scenario. I know it's redundant, but I figure it's worthwhile to mention:

    - Made a withdrawal on Monday, March 19th in the amount of $2,926.15, received e-mail confirmation from webmaster@efsplayerservices.com...

    - Got an e-mail two days later, on the 21st from support@sportsbook.com suggesting that "I might like to know" that my withdrawal was "processed and sent" to my bank via wire, which was the method I requested. The time given was 5 to 7 business days

    - 5 days go by, then 7, which brings us to Monday of this week, when I sent an e-mail and talked on live chat a few times. Here's the most recent chat:

    You: Hi Ahmed
    You: I am writing to inquire about my most recent withdrawal
    You: my customer # is xxxxxxxxxx
    Ahmed Jones: Please bear with me while I look up your account details...
    You: thank you
    Ahmed Jones: 2,926.15 sent March 19. This should reach your account this week.
    You: yes, that's what they keep telling me, first it was 5 days, then it was last friday, then this monday, then "by 4/4/07 definitely"
    You: you guys keep putting it off, when will it get there and why has it taken so long?
    Ahmed Jones: We have heard from some customers that their bank rejected the deposit because they did not recognize the bank it came from. Please contact your bank to confirm this is not what happened.
    You: well, if it rejects the deposit wouldn't it just come back to you guys?
    You: You should be able to see if that has happened
    Ahmed Jones: Please contact your bank in relation to this.
    You: yes, but the money just doesn't disappear, you should be able to check and see that the money came back if my bank rejected it
    Ahmed Jones: We can, but I would have to send a request to accounts, and they would have to contact the processor. It is quicker for you to contact your bank to see if this is the case.

    - Ok, so that was yesterday, today I contacted my bank, and they said a wire never was received or rejected. It's a US bank, and I've never had issues with withdrawals between 1k and 3k before.

    Anyway, I'll post again if I get my cash, fingers crossed for tomorrow. Good luck to everyone else playing the waiting game...

    That is quite interesting that this dude was a fake if in fact that is true... This would certainly be a dream thread for anyone wanting to **** with people... If I didn't like some of you guys I would for sure play like I was waiting on a payout and they told me they aren't going to pay me for two months or whatever I could come up with to freak you guys out... Man how easy would that be.. Some of you would probably cry right online with one of those expression things.. hahahaha It would only take one person too... Ten can get paid but it would only take one...

    It's like the harder you try to find something out the worse it gets... Try finding out who god is..that is like trying to find the REAL TRUTH on this situation... Good luck to all...

    I'm very confident everyone will get paid and my 10K may be part of it..lol Just don't leave yourselves open for someone from another book to do what I suggested above and play off of your fear...

    who could possibly be that sick... If that is true in any way that guy deserves a shotgun facelift preferably at my hands.

    My buddy who told me about sportsbook.com told me in january he was receiving checks from withdrawals in 2-4 business days, but he has not used the site since that month. I had to call this dude up just cause i started freaking out about what i read on this forum. I also told him to call anyone he knows that uses this site to see if that have been able to complete withdrawals. Thousands of people use sportsbook.com, they get thousands of bets every minute.

    WHO IS GETTING THEIR MONEY?!?!?! PEOPLE HAVE TO BE!! THERE ARE WAY TO MANY PEOPLE USING THEIR SITE AND NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HERE WHO HAVEN'T GOT PAID. IF NO ONE WAS GETTING THEIR MONEY THERE WOULD JUST BE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ON THEIR ASS, AND IT WOULD BE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. IS IT JUST US 50-75 PEOPLE THAT ARE GETTING ****ED WHAT IS GOING ON!!!

    Something is definately going on with sportsbook.com. processors are the most logical (other then blatently stealing our money), but they're also a great excuse when your trying to bullshit someone and take their money. all we can do is wait. These assholes are going home everday enjoying life (probably), the owners probably have fat pockets.. and here we are sweating it out just to get our rightly deserved cash, just like they rightly deserve to keep our money when we lose a bet. This shit is honestly driving me crazy, and the fact that there are so many of us that can't do a single thing pisses me off waaaaaaaaaayyyy more.

    who do these mother ****ers think they are. If they truly are lying...they are a couple of weeks away from me clearing out my bank account, buying a plane ticket, finding out were those cocksuckers do their business and just honestly wreaking absolute havoc on everyone there.

    SPORTSBOOK.COM IF YOU ARE READING THIS ALL WE WANT IS ANSWERS, WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON OVER THERE. HOW DO NO OTHER MAJOR SPORTSBOOKS KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITE THAT HAS THE PREMIER .COM FOR SPORTS BOOKS... SPORTSBOOK.COM YOUR ****ING URL IS WORTH SOOOOOO MUCH ALONE SELL IT AND GIVE US OUR MONEY (PROBABLY NOT NOW SINCE YOU TARNISHED IT). HOW CAN YOU MOTHER****ERS BE SO DISHONEST!

    Hey Jenny. I am waiting for a wire for 3500 supposedly sent on 3/21 that I have yet to receive. I was reading thru the pages of threads and was wondering if Sportsbook.com and Mysportsbook.com are procssing at same rate as they are both owned my same Co ? They also both have the same CS #'s.

    seems so wrong that collectively not one of us on here is able to talk to anyone aside from the regular reps, if ********** was a good option for me, i'd be doing it right now.

    is there a single person on here with 22nd wire that has received it?

    sportsbook.com is a piece of shit

    the only reason i picked sportsbook.com is that they accept ************. i figured it is a nice way to win some money and earn some airline miles at the same time. but i am regretting it now. they're dicks with forms...i remmeber when i opened my account i had to fax or email them bunch of forms...it was such a hassle. now i am encountering the same problem as you guys. i request the check early march...couple of weeks before the tournament. they first told me that they sent out hte check. i even got a confirmation email too. i call them everyday asking them the fedex tracking number, they keep telling me that they're "processing" the checks. then two weeks later they told me they're putting back the money to my account and resending them through wire. that was three weeks ago. i am still waiting for my wire like all of you guys. tomorrow is the 10th business day. i hope i'll get it then. once i get my money, i'll move it to bodog.com since it got a pretty good rating. i have no idea until now that sportsbook.com is ranked D+

    what a piece of shit website, their line managers are bunch of crooks. don't get me started with thos assholes. everytime i requested a limit increase on a bet, they always refused...and those bets turned out to be winners. and the ones that they accept turned out to be losers....just my luck. if those assholes let me bet, i would be up couple more grand. once i get my money...more precisely, if i get my money, i'll go to a site that is rated A or above.

    i suggest those of you who are still using sportsbook.com DONNOT deposit anymore money in that piece of shit website. the rating for this site dropped from B- to D+ in less than a year.

    credit card charge back

    are you guys sure credit card charge back will work??? if it works, then people would deposit 6000 and bet it and if they win, they'll take the money out and if they lose, they'll use the credit card charge back. that sound too good to be true.

    have any of you successfully gotten money back to your credit card?

    They seemed confident that a lot of wires were going to hit on monday.. it just doesn't make sense considering its one of the biggest holiday weekends of the calender year.. I can't even imagine what those who have 10k+ on the line are going through, I think i would have had a heart attack by now and im in my early 20's..

    Credit card charge back to a legitimate sportsbetting website that actually would payout winners will result in a collection on your credit report. They send you to collections.

    I just chargebacked the other day on two ************- Citi and Chase. They have credited me with temporary credit and after I mail in some forms, they will investigate. In my opinion, since I'm not trying to jew out the Sportsbooks, Sportsbook will realize they have nothing to lose but a customer and won't fight it (especially since they have my money still pending). But if it was obvious that I laid down a big bet and lost all my money, I'm sure they can easily prove it and you will get owned.

    Anyone with experience know anything about this kind of stuff? I don't want my profits at this point, just want my initial deposit and bounce. What exactly is "collections"? Need insight, thanks in advance.

    Here It Is...a Final Thought...

    I want to vow that from this day forward I WILL NEVER GAMBLE AGAIN OFFSHORE AT ANY ONLINE SPORTSBOOK, CASINO OR POKER ROOM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

    THIS ISN'T AN ABERRATION THAT IS OCCURING WITH SPORTSBOOK.COM...IT IS THE NORM.

    I'VE GOTTEN STIFFED NOW (AND I'M COUNTING SPORTSBOOK.COM AS A STIFF) BY THREE DIFFERENT BOOKS AND WENT THROUGH ALOT OF HELL FROM MANY OTHERS STRESSING ABOUT DOING WHAT SHOULD BE THE MOST BASIC OF FUNCTIONS, PAYING OUT OUT THE MONEY THAT IS WON. I MEAN IF THEY DON'T DO THIS SIMPLE THING THEN IT REALLY ISN'T GAMBLING AND WE ARE ALL SUCKERS.

    I AM SO PISSED OFF I AM MAKING MYSELF SICK FROM STRESS AND THE BEST THING FOR ALL OF US TO DO IS WRITE THE MOTHER****ER OFF, CHALK IT UP TO A VERY EXPENSIVE LESSON AND NEVER GO BACK IN ANY POKER ROOMS OR SPORTSBOOKS AGAIN.

    I WILL NEVER EVER SEND MONEY TO THESE FLY-BY-NIGHT SCUMBAGS. I'M JUST GOING TO SAY TO MYSELF IT WAS MY FAULT AND I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER WHICH IS THE TRUTH.

    KARMA WILL CATCH UP WITH THESE BASTARDS SOMEDAY, I TRULY BELIEVE THAT, THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS STOP PLAYING ONLINE FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. IF YOU WANT TO GAMBLE, TAKE A DRIVE TO A CASINO NEAR YOU AND GET PAID WHEN YOU CASH IN YOUR CHIPS.

    I AM FURIOUS NOW BUT TOMORROW MORNING I WILL WAKE UP AND BE REFRESHED AND HAPPY AGAIN, SOLID IN THE KNOWLEDGE I WILL NEVER MAKE THIS MISTAKE AGAIN AND CHALK IT UP TO ONE OF MANY OF LIFE'S EXPERIENCES I HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY.

    I HOPE THAT I CAN INFLUENCE AT LEAST A SMALL PART OF YOU THAT POST HERE, I MEAN IS IT FUN ANYMORE? PLACES LIKE SPORTSBOOK.COM AND THE REST OF THEM RUINED IT FOR ALL OF US.

    Anyone would like to private mail me and discuss this more I welcome the company. I would like to start a mass exodus away from online gambling. Do we really need this in our lives.

    David-

    What world do you live in that you think it's cool to use "jew" like that on a public forum? I'm sure there are some morons on here who use the word just like you, but I would hope in the year 2007 you could keep your bigotry a little more under wraps. Ironically, it is you who is trying to CHEAT (I assume that's what you meant by "jew") the sportsbooks by not waiting for your money and charging back prematurely, when you have absolutely nothing to lose by waiting a few weeks since you have 120 days back to charge your card. I hope you can think twice about the way you talk in the future but I'm not holding my breath.

    Jonshields, relax. I have nothing against Jews. I apologize for using "Jew" as a verb and will be kosher about it when addressing other Jews in the future. You can release your breath. You do realize that if you pay off your balance, you can't **********, right? So say, in 120 days, I want to keep my credit in good standing and pay off my statements, I won't be able to ********** if I've already paid that charge. I don't see why charging back on Sportsbook for the initial deposit I've made would seem cheap, or cheating the system, or anything like that.

    Ralph, I have to chime in on your going away message. It is very likely that many of us are going to get stiffed and never see a penny from sb.com. My donation is $ 4250.00 which is alot of money to me. I wont say that I cant afford to lose it because at the very moment I ran my credit card thru I knew there was a chance and most likely a very good chance that I would loose. The thing that really sucks is this time I exercised good judgement and walked up to the cashier window with my chips in my sweaty palm only to be told that my chips are no longer being accepted. But I am past that. It is sad but this is exactly the kind of thing that needed to happen for me to loose interest in this disabilitating disease. I can't change what has happened in the past, but you and I and everyone else has a choice about our future. For those of you that wish I would shut the hell up and go away... I have an idea of how you can use the withdrawl delay to your advantage. Well the reason most people gamble is because they are addicted to the rush they get between the time they place the bet and when they find out if they won or not. Some people like it quick like those that be on dog races (approx 30 seconds) if you have the right dog. And some people are quite a bit more patient (like those of you that have wagered on who will win next years Superbowl). Anyway, my point is WE ALL STILL IN ACTION UNTIL WE GET PAID OR WE FIND OUT DEFINETELY THE MONEY IS NOT COMING. We may win and get paid or we may get stiffed and loose. I am sure most of you have lost at some time or the other. I would be willing to bet (no pun intended) that most of you have not had to wait 2 + weeks on a wager to see if you had won or not. Just a thought. Good luck and best wishes to all of you. Final thought: If everyone who was waiting for money cashed out of the gambling racket and stopped playing. It wouldnt take very long to save more money by being stiffed and quiting than by being paid and to have continued playing.

    I am waiting on a wire that was sent March 23rd, and I will be filing a dispute with my credit card Monday evening if the money is not in my account. Below is the US gambling law, to me it sounds like the banks are liable to some extent. I have been using my Citi Card to deposit money, and will give an update Monday evening as to what I said, and what they said. Good Luck to all, this might be a blessing is disguise as it will prevent me from ever gambling online again.

    ...Ambiguity is not just present in US law - which has been a main focus of late as it relates to online gambling - there are jurisdictions throughout the world that allow betting on some forms of activity and not others. Some online gambling jurisdictions do not allow betting with online casinos and sportsbooks located in the country itself by their own citizens while taking bets from outside the nation are okay and placing bets outside the nation is not clearly illegal. France reportedly has no laws prohibiting its citizens from betting online with gambling sites located outside the country but has been aggressively going after those individuals who run said sites (even outside the country - similar to the stance of the US).

    Recently, a law passed on the US Federal level clarifies that the acceptance of bets on US soil remains illegal but has now been adapted to the internet. The law further seeks to have banking institutions monitor such transactions that may be made from US citizens in order to prevent operators from collecting said betting funds. However, the banks and others have been lobbying to remove such language from this law that would hold financial institutions liable. Legislators have admitted that the wording in this law needs to be studied over the next several months. Poker may still be exempt from this measure, though that is yet to be determined as of January 30, 2007.

    c'mon guys it ain't over just yet, if it was only sportsbook having this problem then it would seem like we're getting f'd for sure, but it seems most of these sites are having these issues, sportsbooks size is probably making it much more challenging to just pick up where they left off with another processor, incompetence aside... over a dozen on this forum have received payment, so they are trying. I'm worried more about the new processors running into trouble and backing out, then sportsbook purposely stiffing us.

    i had to get out my "websters new world dictionary" this morning.......to see if i really knew the true meaning of "processed" (1) the course of being done. (2) course (3) a continuing development involving many changes. (4) a method of doing something,with all the steps involved. (5) to prepare by or subject to a special process. i just wonder if this means...... the checks in the mail ???
