Sportsbook.com cash out

**Illusion** · 01-21-06, 05:29 AM

What method are you using to withdraw?

**Illusion** · 01-21-06, 05:33 AM

This is from their website:

"We accept withdrawals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and all withdrawals are processed within 48 hours."

**Winston Smith** · 01-21-06, 05:43 AM

Unfortunately, you may find that "Withdrawls are processed" is not equivilant to "Withdrawls are sent."

If this is your first deposit, depending on your method of deposit, they'll have a series of hoops prepared for you in a few days.

**707782** · 01-21-06, 06:16 AM

I use online echeck.

**Illusion** · 01-21-06, 06:43 AM

I didn't see how long it takes for an e-check. They only had paper check posted. Unless I somehow missed it.

If anybody knows please let 707 know.

When I first heard about sportsbook.com, a lot of those are positive commen, that's why I registered account with them. However, seeing all the complaint here, I really need to do more research next time.

Or maybe they're indeed pretty decent.

Don't overly worry about it. They're not the best book in the world but they are nowhere near the worst. Most of the issues are due to their CS and some odd management decisions. Your money is safer there than a lot of the higher-rated books.

Having said that, I'd change your password (and always change to random letters/numbers) after the recent spate of accounts seemingly being hacked into and balances emptied on obscure casino games.

**Illusion** · 01-21-06, 06:54 AM

Depending on your limits I suggest VIP, BetJamaica and of course the cream of the crop Pinnacle. Cris is also a solid book. Hell, every book listed at the top is awesome.

**tacomax** · 01-21-06, 07:01 AM

Yes, lots of better books - don't get be wrong. Pick any from the top and you'll have a better overall experience. I just meant you shouldn't worry too much about your pending cashout.

**707782** · 01-21-06, 07:02 AM

Yeah, If I heard about the bad one, then there's no way I won't recognized the good one, right.

I already registered an account with pinn......

Illusion, you said you like to play poker, where do you play at?
Partypoker? Pokerroom?

I just played couple blackjack at pokerroom, after the play, I could honestly say that it's pretty good, at least it's a lot better than the others that I have tried.

Personally, I like pokerroom.

i believe Marc mentioned before it was 2-3 days in regards to the payment of funds.

also, lakerfan did make a post about changing your password. so, you might want to do that as well. below is the link to that recomendation.

Trust me there is nothing positive about sportsbook.com.
They were my first offshore book and when I request a payout. It took them 3 weeks to pay me.

by the way, it was also e-check.

When did this happen?

**pags11** · 01-22-06, 04:35 AM

I'd get the cash out of there as soon as they allow you to...

**Pooper Scoopers** · 01-22-06, 11:15 AM

sportsbook.com

I knew nothing about sportsbooks and asked my handicapper which
sportsbook is safe to use. He recommended sportingbetusa and sportsbook.com. I used both and doubled my accounts in both. Both paid me quickly but after reading this website I put all my money in pinnacle and cris. I was very scared I would not get paid
but luckily I did.

My withdrawals are now under "management review." I've been waiting a wee for them to process 2 withdrawals totalling $11,500. Evry time I call They tell me it will be another 24-48 hours. I found 1 manager who said if I call him tomorrow in the afternoon, he would try to get some info for me. If you send these guys money, you have to do it by credit card, and you have to be prepared to do a charge back

**raiders72001** · 01-23-06, 01:13 AM

That's the good thing about credit cards. You can always do a charge back. I know that marc's not a scammer but there is a good percentage of people that use credit cards to scam. If you do this it can come back to bite you in the ass down the line.

**pags11** · 01-23-06, 02:09 AM

"management review" is another term for we're going to try to find a way to f%$K you...

If anyone plans on being involved in this industry for any amount of time, I would suggest that you never charge back under any circumstance. If you have to take the hit then take the hit and make sure everyone in the forums knows you took the hit. Don't strip yourself of income down the road just to recover one deposit.

**Patrick McIrish** · 01-23-06, 06:57 AM

Yeah they like the management review technique pags mentioned, lot of them often use the "internal audit" excuse. Anything to delay the pay-out. Of course you will usually need copy of your DL's, electric bill, front and back of your credit card etc....

Easy to get your money in at most of these shit books but much harder to get it out.

**Bill Dozer** · 01-23-06, 10:24 AM

This book is cleaning house. In 2005 they flat out cheated advantage players. Until recently the knock was incompetence and bad CS.

**marc** · 01-23-06, 10:41 AM

Doing a charge back, is something that I would only do as a very last resort, but there is comfort in knowing that I could. The players whoses funds they confiscated for being advatage players were players who deposited by neteller, and had no recourse. There is comfort in knowing that I always owe them more than they owe me.

**marc** · 01-23-06, 03:52 PM

After speaking to a CS manager, it appears that the reason for the "review" was in retaliation for me claiming that someone stole $3709 from one of my accounts.

My guess is they are going to try to claim that I somehow abused thier bonus system (eventhough sports.com just gave me a $500 cash bonus no roll requried, for being such a loyal cusotmer). And once they lable me a bonus abuser not only will they not have to take my claim of unauthorized use (eventhough there are at least half a dozen other players making the same claims), but they will likely also consider confiscating bonus and winnings from the past 3 years. Essentially they have declared war. I'm going to give them afew more days to reconsider, but at the end of the day, if they refuse to pay me I will call my credit card companines and ask what is involved in a **********, and how far back can I go. But i won't sit back and let these guys rob me.

**pags11** · 01-24-06, 04:31 AM

business is business marc...if they are going to try and bend you over, you've got to do what you have to do...

**marc** · 01-24-06, 12:32 PM

UPDATE

Not sure what Roberto did. But he did something. I spoke to him after he got back from Vegas yesterday. And he said he would take care of getting me the $18,500 in withdrawals I requested so far. He told me it would be taken care of today. Have to admit, I had my doubts. But I just recieved confirmation that the first payment of $4000 was sent out. I imagine the others will be soon to follow.

Thank you Roberto for all your help. This has not only removed any concerns about having to do a **********, but it insures that I will have the funds to pay my bills on time, without the need to make massive amounts of withdrawals.

**bigboydan** · 01-24-06, 12:37 PM

glad to hear it worked out for you marc

**pags11** · 01-24-06, 03:53 PM

definitely good to hear Marc...

**Illusion** · 01-24-06, 09:20 PM

Great news marc. Make sure to let us know when you recieve the rest of your balance.
