Although I was down in CT this past weekend so I made a pit stop at Mohegan and the end result was them paying me $200 to sit around, play blackjack and drink their booze. Not much better than being paid to drink and bs

    Mine was sent on the 22nd, got the 24-48 hours dance for about 2 weeks now, and today received notice that my withdrawal was still "pending". Also, it seems like they "lost" $3000 of my $3500 withdrawal which they are now "looking into". Yes, it does seem like people are being paid. However, I don't know if this company can fully recover from 2 months of horrible press, chargebacks, and loss of business. I want my $$ ASAP, then it's bye bye sportsbook for me. Any reputable poker sites out there that don't send checks via mule?

    How everyone else gotten this email!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?

    Dear XXXXX,

    The current withdrawal delays we are experiencing are lasting a good deal longer than any of us had anticipated, so we thought we owed you a more in-depth explanation.

    As we explained previously, this situation is a direct result of the US Legislation passed last year. After a time, the processors we used for both deposits and withdrawals opted to pull out of the US market which left us no choice but to find other alternatives to get you and thousands of others their well-earned cash. This was where we were a few months ago.

    In a situation like this, with your money and our reputation at stake, we had to make sure we were making the right choice for all involved. The new partners had to be comfortable with this task and commit to the high standards of trust and expediency we expect. After an exhaustive and stringent selection process, we eventually narrowed down the candidates and made our choices. However, there were still several factors to keep in mind.

    Although this had already taken far longer than we would have liked, we couldn't just send every single pending withdrawal out in one batch. In order to prevent a similar situation occurring, our new partners are forced to limit the value and number of daily transactions occurring. Also, our new partners are located offshore, so our delivery times have had to increase. This is where we are now.

    Your $XXXXX withdrawal is currently in a queue. As soon as it reaches the top of that queue, it will be on its way to you. Although our customer care team is more than happy to help you at all times, there is unfortunately nothing they can do to speed this process up.

    The backlog is shifting (we are processing a lot faster than new withdrawals are occurring), but it will take time. Your money is safe and with a company who could afford to take the time to ensure that it was never anything less than safe. We will be around for as long as the US public wants to make the right choices for themselves, and you are making that happen right now.

    We thank you and all our customers sincerely for your understanding at this time - it is wholeheartedly appreciated.

    Regards,

    The Sportsbook.com Management Team.

    I think it's possible that they sent the information to processors the 27th along with info for many other dates... and they just got way too backed up and it would be impossible for them to send all our withdrawals as well as deal with all the banks regular customers... just think of what a pain in the ass it is for the bank to just have thousands upon thousands of requests to deal with along with what their normal business would have been. I think we need to stay optimistic and wait it out till the end of next week before anyone freaks out. if commonsense got paid there is still hope he badmouthed so many people im surprised they didn't try to cancel his sh*t and keep his money for being a true d*ckhead... it's people like him that are making everyone freak out.. give it till the end of next week and if nothing happens then we can bombard them with chargebacks or start planning alternative actions.. I think the money is on it's way.. they just didn't anticipate that this could get as out of hand as it did...

    whatever the fock that means. Either its pending or processed.

    It seems like they just made up a new phrase.

    I honestly would rather them take their time and get this sh*t settled... instead of them trying some sneaky sh*t to transfer all these funds and get f*cked and then we will have no chance of seeing our money.. there is no way all these posters are employees of sportsbook.com and if they are this is way more f*cked up then i had ever imagined. It's like some movie sh*t and they are infiltrating us and messing with our minds.. I am going to copyright this story for a crazy blockbuster

    WOW unbelievable

    here is the latest:

    Lional: Your wire withdrawals were processed by us in the last 10 days of March. This means that we sent those funds to our payment processor on that date. The payment processor was experiencing their own delays in sending the funds to your bank account, but they are now beginning to improve the speed that the wires are going out. Wires which were 'Done' on our end on the 21st of March were sent by the processor to customer's bank accounts on 4th April. Wires done on 23rd March went out on April 10, and wires done on 27 March went out on 11 April.

    The timeframe to receive the money in your bank account is 10-15 business days from the date that the wire was sent to your bank account by the processor. We're already getting reports that wires sent on April 4th are hitting accounts, so they're coming in ahead of schedule. We are absolutely confident that if you haven't yet received your wire, you will be receiving it within the 10-15 business days.

    We do sincerely thank you for your continued support. These delays are most definitely a temporary concern, and we intend to return to a normal payout schedule shortly.

    Just got off the phone with a Sports.com Guy

    My deal is with Sports.com, but they are all affiliated with sportsbook.com and, thus, having the same withdrawal issues. I requested a wire withdrawal on March 21 for $3,000 and one on March 23 for $1,000.

    I just got off the phone after a 20-minute conversation with Diego from sports.com. Any of the stuff he told me could be total B.S., but if it was, he was pretty good at it. Here's the gist of what he said.

    He's been with the company 3 1/2 years. I told him I noticed that as of mid-February, withdrawals started getting slower and slower. He said the U.S. govm't has put lots of restrictions on how off-shore companies can pay their U.S. customers. Many of their previous options, Neteller, etc. are no longer options. He said they needed to find a new processor to handle the withdrawals. That backed everything up 2-3 weeks while they made the change over. He also said right now it is VERY slow in the gambling biz, nothing like football season. He said he understands everyone's frustration as he gets calls from over 100 sportsbooks that his call center handles.

    But he assured me over and over again that my money is safe and I will be getting it. In fact, he told me the withdrawal I made on March 21st was SENT on April 3, but he said allow 7-10 business days. He also said, "Honestly, it may take up to 15 days fro some. But you will be gettting your money." He also said that my withdrawal from March 23 is "Still Pending." So, there's something with the w/d after the 23rd. Don't know.

    He said he's seen some bad times in the time he's been there and "this change over is getting lots of people frustrated, but everyone needs to remember that their money is safe and they will be getting it." He said lots of people are doing the ********** thing, etc. and that's not helping them b/c they will be banned from playing in those sportsbooks.

    So, did I believe him? Actually, yeah. Am I a sucker? Probably. But we'll see if my money shows up in the next few days.

    What is this? You yourself say there is no more info for them to find?

    I bet if we give you our bank account numbers everything will be right in the world and sportsbook.com will start hemorrhaging money.

    That's what I'm saying. I've tried to believe them through many rounds of this whole situation.

    It took them 23 days to figure out the wire has not actually been sent on 3-21????

    The Latest Excuse: After waiting another 17 busines days for my money....My 9k withdrawal processed on 3-21 was actually sent on 4-4. Another 10-15 "business" days I'm told. I'm so ....ing pissed about this whole thing.

    One other thing: Why would anyone reload with them? Even the people that were supposively paid. They will never see another dime of my money.

    Paying or Stalling for Time?

    What does everyone think about this new development of the processor delay? If they know the exact dates the processor has sent out wires received on certain days from them, then they have certainly known about this second delay for a while and been feeding us total lies. Now they expect us to wait another two weeks plus any made-up holidays? Can't SBR or any of these forums that advertise for them do anything?

    ask wilheim the master dick f*ck over at the rx.com, im sure he is getting his checks from sportsbook.com on time.

    i dont think sbr advertises sportsbook.com, and i dont think they want anything to do with this situation.. at least they are letting us use their boards.. they are getting an excessive amount of hits to their site because of it.. thats better then being directly associated with sportsbook.com

    I made 6 ithdrawals around march 15th taht were sent out on the 19th and 20th, and I recieved all 6 last week

    I than made another request on the 28th, whihc was processed on wednesday. I then made 4 other withdrawsl on the 30th, and the 1st. Those have still not been processed. Sp payouts are going out, but as Bill Dozer reported they are going out slower than the withdrawal requests are coing in. So the backlog is growing instead of shrinking. Current wait time now for withdrawals over 2k is 5-7 weeks
    Marc, it's irritating that they seem to be picking and choosing who they wanna pay. I requested my wire on the very day (3/11) that option became available. And I have yet to receive my piddly $2700, when you've rec'd tens of thousands. I should've been paid before any of ya!
