well there goes my theory. dodgers, are you a MVP member? 3 weeks for a 1k check? there seems to be no method to this madness.

i seriously doubt his 1k check was sent out on the 15th... i think it's highly likely it was sent out last week, which is when they said the first checks went out.

[LeoHolem]

Like i said, it hasn't been sent out. Its been in "processing" since the 15th. When I called sportsbook last thursday, they said it'll be sent out by monday. Of course when i chatted with them yesterday, it still wasn't sent out yet.

Well, good luck to you (non-sarcastically). Most of us on this thread who have been on it for awhile have actually been waiting for our money since the end of februrary.

[Dpiddy]

I am one of the "lurkers"... been waiting since Feb. My payment "went out" on the 22nd so I will let you know if I get it before Friday...

[jstblaze]

Can Any Report A Wire Received Today?

[David929]

I've been a long time lurker also and am now contemplating a **********. Quite frankly, I was up $400 - $500 before losing all of my profits over the weekend. I'm just not willing to wait a few months, if that, for the money that is rightfully mine. For those that have chargebacked, are you really saying that it's a phone card company? I don't know whether or not it is the best route to just be honest and say it was an online casino. Has anyone who chargebacked said it was an online casino? Please let me know, thanks and good luck to all waiting for their money.

David, I took the honest route and the bank wouldn't charge back my items for a total of $4620. So if you want it to go through, DON'T TELL THE BANK THE TRUTH!!!

I don't know what lie works best, but don't make the mistake I did and "come clean'. It doesn't work and it screws up your chances for a **********.

[Joey12345]

All you do is call up and say...."I have no idea what these charges are...I have never heard of egames and sport4u, please remove them."

end of story.

[Ralph Martin]

By the way, they now told me "1 extra day" meaning if your check was "processed" on March 22nd, then you would have to wait "eleven days" instead of ten.

On the bright side, today was the day I half-expected them to be closed and gone, so at least that didn't happen.

[fortunescore]

I received the other half of my money today as a wire, it was "sent" on the 19th, I got the first half yesterday. They only hit early in the morning it seems.

[David929]

Ralph, thanks for your information as I was going to take the honest route. The problem is, I've used my CC at sportsbook before. Will that be taken into consideration or what?

[Boobie9188]

BLASPHEMY... i cant keep waiting "3-5 extra days" and "one extra day"... i need my money. i have stuff i need to take care of.

[andrew730]

are most of the people here having the problems with betonusa.com?
I am in the same boat with my wire request, requested mine about 7 business days ago, they said 7-10, we shall see if i have my money by friday

[ModernManshustle]

I received the other half of my money today as a wire, it was "sent" on the 19th, I got the first half yesterday. They only hit early in the morning it seems.

thanks for the update, if you don't mind posting it...what bank was it, i wonder if it will be certain banks that will end up being the problem

[civilaction]

I spoke to a very helpful customer service agent today who explained the whole situation and why we were waiting so long. She said the money goes through 2 different banks before it hits our accounts and this institution can only send out so much at a time. They have 28 million that theyre trying to disperse and they have to send out so much a day. If you happen to be part of that batch then you could get your money on day 8 or day 100 depending on how long it takes. Point is we just have to be patient and if you need the money to pay bills youre a degenerate and your family will starve accordingly. If youre real hard up for money send your wife or girlfriend over my place and ill send her back with some cash. Your children will prob die of malnutrition and then youll stop spending your money like an african american monkey ape.

[Boobie9188]

So this time i talked to him he got a little snappy with me lol...

I'm prob bugging the hell out of these ppl but i juts want honesty.

Chat InformationHello, my name is Eamonn Brown. How may I help you today?
You: Hi, if my wire was "sent out" on march 22, can you tell me what day at teh very latest i should receive it in my account?
Eamonn Brown: Please bear with me while I look up your account details.....
Eamonn Brown: Can I have your customer ID number please? (You can find this number underneath your name on your betting ticket when you login to your account.)
You: i have asked thsi quesiton before and never been asked my ID number. My username is XXXXXXX, do you still need the Id number?
Eamonn Brown: Please bear with me while I look up your account details.....
Eamonn Brown: XXXXXXX (account number)
You: ok thanks
Eamonn Brown: It may take a little longer to receive your wire as this is the first time our new processor has sent bank wires. Please allow several more business days to receive your withdraw. Sorry for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
You: i was just told not 5 hours ago i would receive it in 7-10 buiness days. When am i supposed to receive it now?
You: and why did you need my ID number to tell me that
Eamonn Brown: To access your details quicker
You: are my details different from anyone else that had a wire sent out on the 22nd, or 21st, or 20th for that matter?
Eamonn Brown: No
You: Then i dont understand why you needed to access my details to tell me it would take longer
Eamonn Brown: I can access your account details quicker with your customer id Sir, thus providing you with an answer quicker.
You: Ok eamonn, i just dont understand why my account details are different than anyone elses, and why my accound details would have anything to do with when my wire will arrive
Eamonn Brown: Your account details are total different to everyone elses, you have a unique id
You: I understand, by how does that relate to when my wire will arrive?
Eamonn Brown: Your account details contain information about your account, and hence your withdraws
Eamonn Brown: Because I can see when it was sent.
You: ok, well i told you i was sent out on the 22nd. was i right abotu that?
Eamonn Brown: Yes
You: ok. so can you please tell me what day at the very latest i should receive my wire?
Eamonn Brown: No, sorry, that is not possible.
Eamonn Brown: It may be 10 business days or 14.
Eamonn Brown: Please allow more time to receive this, thank you.
You: ...Are you kidding me? Ive been told 7-10 for the last two weeks
Eamonn Brown: I understand.
Eamonn Brown: It may take a little longer to receive your wire as this is the first time our new processor has sent bank wires. Please allow several more business days to receive your withdraw. Sorry for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
Eamonn Brown: We are aware that wire transfers may take longer than expected and our withdraws department are working with the banks to ensure you receive your funds as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
You: I feel like this is just a staall for you guys. I feel like i'm continuously being lied to eamonn, not by you in particular, but by every rep i have talked to, i hear a different story almost every time. I want the truth because i've been dealing with this for almsot two months now. I need to know if im actually getting my money so if im not, i can do what i need to do to take care of tihs situation.
Eamonn Brown: It is not a stall!
Eamonn Brown: You are not being lied to.
Eamonn Brown: Time frames change.
Eamonn Brown: They have been changed.
You: Eamonn please dont get defensive. I am not intending to be rude, i apologize for my skepticism
Eamonn Brown: I fully appreciate your frustration. We are sincerely sorry for the delay.
Eamonn Brown: Please understand, we do not have an exact time.
Eamonn Brown: For receipt.
You: But i have been told 7-10 days for weeks now. How deos it go from 3-5 days, to 7-10 days, to no time frame at all?
Eamonn Brown: You will receive your funds.
Eamonn Brown: This has taken longer then expected.
Eamonn Brown: Please allow up to 15 business days, and if you do not have it by then we will trace it for you.
You: Ok, question though, how can you trace it at 15 business days but you cannot trace it now?
You: Eamonn the only reason i am so worried about this is because my baby sister is having her first birthday party next weekend, april 21, and i have to have enough money to get home so i can be there for her.
Eamonn Brown: A trace will only result in it going back in to your account as you have not been able to receive it.
Eamonn Brown: I understand.
Eamonn Brown: Hopefully you will have this very soon.
You: Ok. So if by 15 business days i dont have my money....
Eamonn Brown: Then please get back to us. Sorry for the delay Sir.
You: Ok... one more thing...
You: I heard that the reason its taking so long is cause there is a lot of money that needs to be sent out, and the banks can only send so much per day, and it juts depends whhich batch of money your money is in. is that true? and if so, would it make sense to think they send out the money in the order they get it? or are they juts randomly sending out money in random orders?
Eamonn Brown: It is true, they are sent in order.
Eamonn Brown: But you should have your withdraw this week.
You: Do you truly believe that eamonn? or are you juts telling me that to keep me content? again, no hostility in my question, i simply want to be spoken to with honesty.
You: And is there any specific reason you say that now? like did someone just inform you that maybe ill get it this week? or is this just your gut feeling?
Eamonn Brown: I know of a wire that took 9 business days, but others have taken longer. So, I would imagine you should get it this week.
You: ok. do you know what banks here in the US seem to be accepting the wires quicker? or does it not matter.
Eamonn Brown: Sorry, we have no further information on this.
You: ok
You: alright eamonn... thats all the questions i have. i am hoping my money makes it by this week
Eamonn Brown: I hope so too
Eamonn Brown: Thanks for chatting! Please contact us again if you have any further questions. Also, if you have a moment, please hit 'close' and then fill out the feedback survey so that we may improve our service.
You: yall are prob tired of hearing from me by now. sorry for the hostility. thanks. bye

[jstblaze]

David,

it does matter that you have aprevious sportsbook.com charge, from a while back.

it does not mean disputing will be harder, you just have to then say that it was because services were not provided accordingly.

meaning you paid them and got no goods. if you go this route, it wont matter who teh comapny is, or if you have previous charges by them, tell them you have tried to contact the merchant and they provide no help or information.

if you say you got no service, and tried to your best efforts to recove rit yourself, it doe not matter what the case is really, unless sportsbook proves they sent you yor money, you will win the dispute no worries.

[jstblaze]

Thank you fortune score for the update!

[ShamsWoof10]

If youre real hard up for money send your wife or girlfriend over my place and ill send her back with some cash.

hahaha that's funny shit... I agree it could be a problem with the procedure or the actual banks we just don't know but what that rep. said actually makes more sense then anything a rep. has said up until this point... Fore I am so glad to hear you got your money today I was starting to wonder after constantly looking in throughout the day... Your situation indicates IT COULD be a bank thing but who knows...
Well ya'll wanted honesty and they said it could be a minute so let's see how each day plays out... I am not owed anymore as I got my check yesterday and unfortunately I am not waiting on that lovely 104+K parlay... Say what you will but I would love to be stressing about having to wait on 104+K... Wishing ya'll the best..

Requested 3-14

Later

[Boobie9188]

shams you got your check yesterday? how long did it take?

[ModernManshustle]

Your children will prob die of malnutrition and then youll stop spending your money like an african american monkey ape.

this seems believable... what i don't get is why they can't confirm which batch your wire was sent out in, most of us counting the days to 10 is kinda pointless i suppose since we don't know when our wire was sent to us, just when it was sent to the processor. Technically there is a chance my wire on the 22nd has still yet to even be sent to my bank...weak.

[Tsetse Fly]

I have been reading this since last week to see how many other people were having problems and didn't plan on posting until I received my wires and/or check, which I haven't, but I had to post today in response to some of the comments.

I have one wire from 3/13 outstanding and one from 3/20, and a check from last week sometime.

I have dealt with the fact that I will never see this 5k and will be happy as s**t if it does come in, but Boobie, if you are counting on this cash to get to your little sister's bday party you may want to start walking now or maybe go check out the greyhound schedule. C'mon man, were you not planning on going if you hadn't won this money??? Get yourself together and start earning the old fashion way and use this cash for fun stuff. I don't know who said it earlier, but if you are using this cash to pay bills, you are a degenerate and you might be better served cutting down the time in this forum and focusing on freshening up the ol' resume.

Good luck on receiving cash to everyone, I truly hope that we all get paid, but considering the whole thing is illegal to begin with, I would start to plan on the alternative.

[Boobie9188]

Tsetse... its not that i dont have the money to get home, im a student right now and dont have much money at the moment... I'm trying to ration it for the three weeks or so left of school... i juts dont wanna spend most of it for my trip home and then not have anyuthing left to live off the last week or so..

[Boobie9188]

Ha... funny guys...

[ShamsWoof10]

Hey guys I can't believe no one has pointed this out... Marc and Doug you were in on this thread by TLD about sportsbooks bouncing checks.. I STRONGLY SUGGEST EVERYONE READ THAT THREAD!!! It really shines a new light on things and what could be happening...

[king of the deck]

this chat happened 5 minutes ago.

Hello, my name is Jody Jackson. How may I help you today?
Jody Jackson: one moment please
Me: lookingn for the status of my cashouts
Jody Jackson: still pending I'm afraid

Me: because i have 3 that are pending
Jody Jackson: there are delays across the boards I'm afraid
Me: you better be more specific
Me: i have a wire that went out a week ago, a check that went out a week ago, and a wire from last night

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[chigoldcoast27]

This was basically my worst nightmare... that i was actually going to find soooooo many people in the same ****ing boat as me.

[scott james]

give up on the chat wire..... they are worthless !!!! they don't know V.D. from moby dick !!!!call this #1800-632-6088 and talk to someone... one on one. !!! thats what i do !!!. i called them 3 times today...and what i got was my check from the 26th is in the mail !!! but not fedex or dhl.... the mailman !!! should get it by friday !!! the guy that i talked to, who could speek english... said they were having problems with "bankwires" that were over 1k, he said i was one of the lucky one's that re-quested by check !!! anything over 1k U.S. banks would not take. !!! heck i don't know whats going on !!! just hope every -one gets paid and soon !!! p.s. i want to retrack my statement "SOME U.S. BANKS WILL NOT TAKE BANKSWIRES FROM OTHER COUNTRIES "OVER" 1K good luck to all......

[ModernManshustle]

problems with bankwires over 1k, i think every wire reported on here was over 1k?

[ShamsWoof10]

What can I say guys I just found this interesting so I had to make sure it was posted on here even though most have probably already read this thread... I am curious about your thoughts on this situatioin and can it be related to ours since "SP" was in the mix at some point and from this post in the other thread I am glad sboo drops these guys...

Here’s the latest on this situation.

1. Check deposited March 20 from Greek (processor: SP): Bounced. I received a copy in the mail. Greek instructed me to Fed Ex it to SP which I have now done.

2. Check deposited March 22 from Greek (processor: SP): Bounced. Copy of check is supposedly in the mail now from my bank to me, but I don’t have it yet.

3. Check deposited March 15 from Greek (processor: SP): Will bounce. I received a letter from the bank telling me the account the check was drawn on is closed. However, they have still not taken the money back out of my account (it remains on hold—in my balance but not in my available balance) and don’t claim to have sent a copy of the check to me yet, in spite of the fact that this transaction was a week earlier than the two they’ve already formally rejected. Many hours on the phone with many people has not gotten me any information on why this one is taking so much longer, or when, if ever, they’ll send me a copy of the check, which I need in order to seek reissued payment from SP.

4. Check deposited March 29 from Bodog (processor: SP): Will bounce. I haven’t received any notification in writing, but they’ve already told me by phone that this too is drawn on a closed account and so will be returned, and eventually, hopefully, I’ll get a copy of it. This one is particularly irritating because when I found out the others were bouncing I hadn’t yet deposited this one. So I called Bodog to ask them if I should bother. They supposedly looked up the check number to compare it with a list of those issued from the SP account that had been closed, determined it was from a different more recent account that was fine, and told me to go ahead and deposit it. They were wrong.

5. Check deposited March 29 from Greek (processor: SP): Same as previous item, except Greek, unlike Bodog, told me when I asked that they had no way of knowing if this check was from the SP batch that was drawn on a closed bank account so they didn’t know if it was any good or not.

6. The mystery was figuring out the other check on hold. The bank told me there was a sixth check, and they told me the amount, but were unable or unwilling to tell me the payer or the date of deposit or anything else that would enable me to ascertain which check it was. But from the amount, I was able to narrow it down to two possibilities. But both were deposited way back in February and neither was from SP, so it concerned me that someone else was bouncing checks and that it would take this long for it to come to light, meaning various other checks I’d deposited in the interim were presumably now in question.

After countless hours on the phone stretching over a week, and a long meeting in person at my branch, we finally determined that this was simply a clerical error. Someone in the bowels of the bank had evidently moved the amount of one of the problem checks to hold twice, creating the illusion it was two separate checks for the same amount. They apologized and reinstated the amount back into my available balance.

So the (hopefully final) tally is five sportsbook checks bounced, four from Greek and one from Bodog, all processed by SP. What I’m supposed to do is provide SP the copies of the checks as I receive them (as I noted above, one I’ve already gotten and Fed Exed on to them), and they will reissue payment. Greek and Bodog both assure me that they take responsibility if somehow I don’t get paid by the processor, and promise that I will be reimbursed for all bank fees, Fed Ex charges, etc. that occur as a result of this fiasco, either by them or SP.

So I’m out five figures for now. Best case scenario, I eventually get reimbursed in full after a month or more delay from when I initially deposited the checks, and all expenses get reimbursed as promised. Even in that case, this has cost me many, many hours of labor trying to get to the bottom of all this, plus I’m losing the interest and such that I’d be earning on that money during this period, plus I’ve ruined my relationship with my bank bouncing five checks.

[scott james]

hope your right about the 1k,....it was probably just more of the same B.S.... THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TALKING ALL-ALONG ! YA know you talk to 3 people ya get 3 different answers !!!

[ModernManshustle]

in my experience it seems like the people on the phone bs more and tell you what you want to hear... they always tell me 100% i'll get my wire by 10th business day, the chat people say it may take longer, same with checks...
