    SBR won't do it but in my mind they are.

    Going into the 3rd month and they still won't pay me. They have apparently cut off all communication also and won't respond to my emails.

    They are no better than a scam book in my mind and I will never send another dime to them ever again.

    I can deal with their bad lines, slow lines and no lines but when they won't pay I say enough is enough.

      Yes Bodog is awful. Durito can get paid because he never has more than $50.00 to withdrawal.

      THEY DON'T PAY!!!!!!!!!!!

        No, Durito gets paid promptly because he is not American. We are the only country in the world getting screwed by these guys.

            Can't believe you guys even signed up with them in the first place. They have the worst lines ever! And parlay is virtually impossible with a lot of denied red matches.

                          baseball lines at Bo isn't that bad. I've gotten better lines than even Pinny on numerous occasions. but definately screwed on tennis lines. But even that I sometimes get better lines like when Nadal was only -200 for the French Open finals while it was -240 at Pinny.

                              The point is to alert people that they are not broke and stiffing people, but rather faced with the processing hurdles facing so many (especially the high profile ones that cater to smaller players) books right now in doing business in the US.


                              If you people would have put half the energy you put into complaining on forums about slow arriving checks into lobbying congress before this bill was passed, you'd probably be able to get Neteller withdrawls from bodog and everywhere else in 5 minutes like you could 2 years ago and like every other country in the world can today.

                                well your logic suggests that its not Bodog but the US government that wont allow kobe to get paid

                                SO WHY DO THEY TAKE DEPOSITS FROM THE US WITH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PROBLEM???

                                WHY DONT THEY JUST DO WHAT PINNY DID AND SAY "NO US"

                                HMM??

                                ill tell you why....cause they are a garbage deposit only book

                                they should have a warning on their site "we take US deposits and credit accts in 5 mins but for a payout it will take 6 months"

                                then NOBODY would play there....but Blowdog wont do that.....you know why??

                                cause those US deposits look so good comin in....with no withdraw going out

                                    You know what, if Bodog was upfront with me about their processing issues I wouldn't be so pissed. But I only found out about it because it was posted in this forum. All I got from them was "it'll be mailed out with the next batch".... Which was their response a month ago and again two weeks ago. In the meantime I keep hearing people being paid even though their requests were made way after mine.

                                    I even told them to tell me the approximate date when it'll be sent out and I'd leave them alone. But they refuse to even do that, always repeating the same BS as above.

                                      That is so ignorant on so many levels. The bill wasn't even debated on in congress because the Republican assholes attached it to a completely unrelated anti-terrorism bill at the last minute before they went on vacation. And no way any of them would vote against an anti-terrorism just prior to an election. But the republicans did face a backlash as the democrats took control of congress as they realized many republicans like to gamble online too.

                                        thats the key....they are misleading people by not telling them its a 6 month wait for a payout

                                            you are entirely correct.

                                            however a version of this bill was in congress for FIVE YEARS. Had gamblers organized something during those five years, someone may have done something to prevent it from being slipped into the port security bill at 3am.

                                              In that case, I would ask Bodog for a book-to-book transfer to get my balance out. If they have that option.

                                                all previous anti-gambling bills were SHOT DOWN. which is why they did what they did.......

                                                So blaming the US public for the passage of this bill is ignorant. if it had been put up for debate as a standalone bill on it's own merits it would never have passed.

                                                  Bodog was lowered to B earlier this month, and another downgrade to C may be in order. They're showing a complete lack of integrity. If they want to mail checks they can do so anytime. Has nothing to do with the anti-gambling legislation.

                                                      They can just mail out checks whenever they want? You realize they have to use 3rd party processors who frequently get shut down, right?

                                                        There's a point where an obstacle can become a convenience, isn't there? I can assure you that, if it were the other way around, and Bodog were at the receiving end of the funds, they would very quickly find a way around the obstacle. In other words, we're looking at a prime example of hypocrisy.

                                                            how come other books like Bookmaker and Betjam can find processors without a problem but Bodog can't? Is it because they are more wellknown or can't handle the heavier volume?

                                                            This is a legit question so if anyone knows the answer I'd appreciate it.

                                                              As for the assumption that they are a deposit only book, you'd be might suprised at theirs(and everyone else's)deposit failure rate for U.S. clients.

                                                              For a bill that had no bite the wounds are extremely deep.

                                                                Going into the 3rd month and they still won't pay me. They have apparently cut off all communication also and won't respond to my emails.

                                                                They are no better than a scam book in my mind and I will never send another dime to them ever again.

                                                                I can deal with their bad lines, slow lines and no lines but when they won't pay I say enough is enough.

                                                                    THEY DON'T PAY!!!!!!!!!!!

On the other hand people outside the US post that they get payments within hours not months... I played poker there occasionally and finally decided to cashout my balance as it been a few months since I've gotten around to playing there... 2 and half days later I have a cash transfer waiting for me to pick up... My experience (along with what I've read here and elsewhere) tends to make me believe their current payout problems are strictly limited to processing checks...
