Why is slow-paying acceptable with gamblers?

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Yeah in Europe this things goes very smoothly. When you have problems to receive payout more than 2 weeks,something is fishy there.

More than 2 days, I'd say.

Not just European books, most of the Asians and the likes of pinnacle pay in hours, sometimes in minutes.

My local is slow paying me. It's been 2 weeks, and he says we are cool. I've never paid late.

[Thremp]

A euro book decided to tell me I requested too large of a payout by.... cancelling my payout and never informing me. It just went into limbo.


Regulation = great for business!

Clearly I'd prefer that sort of business (or Paddy Power) over an unregulated Pinnacle any day!!!

[KKoz9]

It's the lack of accountability and the inherent degeneracy (new word?) of gamblers

[MarlinsFan2212]

Very simple

SLOW PAY is better than NO PAY.

This of course is assuming the slow payer is dead broke.

[lyon804]

i was slow payed before becoming a member of sbr. i use to play at a d rated book and didnt know it..it was a miracle that i was ever payed!

Don't blame the offshores. Blame the US government for making things so difficult. Shutting down so many e-wallets and processors affects ALL of their customers. Not just their US residents.

Without the UIGEA, payments would be in your hands within hours... and you'd damn sure have more than 3 or 4 ways to get your money.

[notsosharp]

slow-playing sucks and is a tactic used by far to many books so people lose back deposits.

[TobiasFunke]

As someone mentioned before, books that slowpay U.S. players often pay players in other territories instantly which tells me that most of the otherwise reliable books are not doing this by choice.

Because, Gambling is Ilegal in the States.

[obamaismyuncle]

it's mostly done in hopes you lose it back before you cash out

[pavyracer]

Because, Gambling is Ilegal in the States.

So because it is illegal they have to stiff the few that are brave enough to send them money? This is not a good business plan.

[Hareeba!]

Another lie from our resident liar.

MB is in full bore slow pay mode. Yet you somehow claim they are not.

Lies lies lies

So precisely where I have I lied?

You've never answered that question before and I expect you'll not change your behaviour now.

I've never been slow paid by Matchbook

Any Matchbook customers here ever been slow paid ?

[allabout the $$$]

My local is slow paying me. It's been 2 weeks, and he says we are cool. I've never paid late.

he is slow paying because his customers arent paying him you are dealing with a broke book and i have a hard time believing that you have never paid late everyone runs into an issue once in a while

[mikeanite]

tell me where i can go to get cash payout the same day and security and i'll post money there.

[EmpireMaker]

they accept money fast they should pay it out just as fast

[vegasinfom]

Best catch I've seen in a long time.

[GoldenRichards]

The state of the offshore industry is not good. Lots of slow pays out there

[Duff85]

Heaps of businesses slow pay invoices.

[MadTiger]

Very simple SLOW PAY is better than NO PAY. This of course is assuming the slow payer is dead broke.

True that, but watch out for signs of it happening to you time and time again.

[trumpdown]

Some of the slowest paying have been the most profitable. This is probably why "they" put up with it.

[Frogger]

slow paying not acceptable to anyone but it beats the hell out of no paying

[THEGREAT30]

I dont get slow payed. BetJamaica and the Greek dont slowpay

[OSUCOWBOYS]

+1

The easy money is often the slowest. The reasons are obvious.

[Hoja Verdes]

I agree... but tons of other businesses work like this. Not at the retail level but one step above, constant invoicing and slow paying, negotiating, and even stiffing. Just ask anyone in accounts payable/receivable, it's the norm.

Very true. Had a client try to stiff me recently, knowing I'd have to lawyer up to get paid. Had to spend half of what they owed me on attorney fees, assholes.
