Bodog: The End of an Era

[donjuan]

Josh or Dan,

Any idea why certain accounts are eligible to get bumped up and others are not? I'd pay a small fee to get mine bumped up.

[Fuerza]

First off, Welcome to the SBR forum

Bodog is having some serious processing issues at this time sir. If you need some assistance with this matter, please feel free to send an email to SBR moderator JoshW at: josh@sportsbookreview.com and he will inquire to them to find out latest on your withdraw.

Thanks a lot BigBoyDan. I will wait and see if how much trouble it ends up being to get paid.

Cheers

according to Bodog Customer Service today the 40 working days just went to fifty and then add two to three weeks for delivery. that adds up to 13 weeks to get a payout. Can there be a worse site out there than these guys?

[Bill Dozer]

That's not a good sign for "deposit season." Volume and demand on their processors will only increase after this month. We will ask for an update and continue to monitor and help current users get their payout.

Hmm, I am a new member here, although I have been reading the forums for a few years. Anyway, I too am a waiting on a cashout from Bodog. I am hoping I can MT it out by this weekend, but also have three checks coming (hopefully).

[JoshW]

No one is getting bumped. We just send them cases to get updates, and make sure they are focusing on them. Those who have waited the longest seem to be getting paid first. If someone has been through bounced checks or extremely long waits, and somehow isn't getting paid still, them looking at the account might get them acting quicker. But largely it is just about getting better information for players, and making sure that no one is falling through the cracks.

65 business days and counting since 6/26/08

[SR]

I got mine today.. after 100s of emails and phone calls. And an equal number of lies from them.

I had it approved on June 26th as well.

The check is from a strange Canadien Co, so who know how long the hold will be....if it doesn't bounce.

coincidence?

[daneblazer]

Has anyone received your payment and requested it after July 1st?

[daneblazer]

You can really tell a difference at their poker site. the $100,000 guarantee had 603 players. So that's $34,000 they're losing on that one tournament. I'm not sure if there's light at the end of the tunnel anymore

[Marco C]

Not when you've got a rigged game and the house guy wins. Then you've made all the players money.

That should be plain as day.

[Mr Handicapable]

I'm been waiting on $1500 since July 11! I don't understand why they can't send the money by W. Union or Moneygram? They got my money in 20 seconds off my debit card? They suck and its too bad because it was really juicy pokerwise...even earlier this year! I've played there atleast 2.5-3 years and used to get a steady check from them. How does PokerStars do it? Their bank is out of California and their checks still come within a week?

We are talking about Bodog, not UB/AP. Unless you actually have something to show like the POTRIPPER HH, you should probably keep your anti-Bodog spam to yourself.

[durito]

Exactly. Does anyone think The Greek would leave himself that exposed by having money in deposit in the United States aka, "The Land of the Free"?

you'd be surprised.

[Marco C]

At least we know your shill cheque is getting through, Donnie me lad.

How stupid do you think people are on this forum? Do you think nobody notices the common link between UB/AP/Bodog, all controlled by Kahnawake? Do you think nobodys ever seen the picture of Calvin Ayre and Joe Norton of Absolute standing together and Calvin supporting him?

UB/AP was a slip up in the grand scheme. It wasn't an isolated incident. It goes on all the time. It's why Bodog can put on a $100,000 guarantee with only 603 entries. Ding dong, wakey wakey, there's going to be 602 losers, and Bodog isn't going to be one of them.

But keep it up. When it all explodes for the last time and the people who lost there money on here with you being the big brave lad complaining about the truth being "anti Bodog spam" have a look back at how you did your little piddly assed bit to keep the sheep heading toward the pen, they'll remember you for the lying cocksucker you really are.

Don Juan? Yeah, right! Dick Wad would be more like it.

[I.R.B]

They can pay quickly if they are motivated. I got mine overnighted after SBR got involved.

I ended up reloading with them because they are the only ones that accept my debit card and also the 20% bonus isn't too bad. Hopefully they will get their shiit together when I withdrawal hopefully end of football.

I also went thru a tuff payout with them... Once SBR came into play i got my money the next day...

Amusing but delusional. I'm currently waiting on a check from Bodog and I'm not happy about the wait times. However, you're a nutcase with some strange vendetta against them as evidenced by the fact that well over half your posts are simply trashing Bodog. They deserved their downgrade (at least if you live in the US) but they still haven't stiffed or stolen from anyone a la Sportsbook and anyone who can't beat poker there is a tard of the highest order. I'm quite interested in why you are so obsessed with them, though.

How long had you been waiting?

Has anyone received anything over the last couple of days?

I'm at 33 business days today, can't wait for the 40th day so I can cash my check(s). haha, I almost believed that for a second.

Seriously, if I do end up getting paid out, I'll reload with them but only via Rapid Transfer moving forward.

[grumpybear]

I am on day 18... Hope they still have some money when it gets to be my turn.. Kinda funny on the 40th day it is your turn to get paid. They could pay if they wanted to

[ico2525]

You guys make it sound like Bodog is your average unknown book nestled away in the world of online gambling. Bodog Entertainment was HUGE. Calvin Ayre was a billionaire, and he's still close to that level since he got out. The US gov't clawed at Bodog, and they keep searching for payment processors and Bodog money. I'm sorry you guys are in this boat, but you should have gotten your money out as soon as Calvin Ayre left.

Thanks for the productive post, very helpful........

[mr.ed]

I received a check last week that was ordered three months ago. They always pay in the end, so I would advise those waiting to sit back and relax as you will eventually get paid. For those that can't afford to wait then I would withdrawal your balance and post up elsewhere, as Bodog is not for you.

[CalBear]

First time poster but have been browsing the forum for quite a while, and i just want to say thank you very much SBR because after i filled out a complaint form about my payout problem from bodog i got this email the very next day:

Good to see CalBear. Please keep us posted.

Welcome tot he board.

[JoshW]

Player reports being payed 9-18-08 for $600 via check. 61 days from time it was requested (July 1).

[Krisfnbs]

Wow, Its a good thing I asked a simple question. I would have never known about this thread

[trypsin]

payout times

Requested payout July 16. I talked to CSR 2 days ago about my payment. Finally received tracking number today Sept 23 and should be arriving tomorrow morning.

No more bodog for me -- though I love their juicy poker room.

[CalBear]

Just received my tracking information today as well, check should be coming in tomorrow. After waiting since July 23, so its been a while.
I would like to know though how long i should wait after depositing to actually withdraw any of the money? and if anyone had any problem deposing a check from Canada into their banks without having them ask questions?

calbear,

ive never had trouble with a check from bodog in the past 3 years. They just take FOREVER to send you one. Regardless however, I don't ever touch my money for a good 2 weeks.

On another note, Sportsbook.com once gave me a check and it didn't bounce until 3 weeks later and that check was drawn from US bank.

[Utah]

fwiw - Fedex tried to deliver a bodog check today from 60 days out. I couldn't receive it because I am currently in Siberia Russia on vacation. I assume the check is good but I won't know until next week.

[meffa]

60 business days, or 60 calendar days?

Is that 60 business days for you, or 60 calendar days?

Today is the 38th business day for me, or 53rd calendar day.

[verbalkint]

received my check today, requested on july 20th, hopefully my redneck bank wont have problems with the canadian check.

[langdon36]

I received my 7/21 request today from fedex. It is from a canadian bank. Will deposit and advise if any problems. I will let you know that you need to get a xerox of the check just in case it bounces. This comes from experience of just having a $900 check from sportsbook bounce. it is a royal pain in the butt to get this taken care of and you will go back into the normal payout queue, no special treatment for you just because they screwed up. I also complained to bodog last week, i talked to a supervisor named keisha (very nice) ext 5059. She gave me a bonus to my account and maybe it was coincidence but the check showed up a week later. I did ask for the bonus though.

[daneblazer]

i cashed my bodog check last week and it went through. So far, I haven't heard one person say the check bounced...just the time it took to get there was way too long.

It'd be hard to recommend them right now, but the poker room is laying ridiculous overlays in their tournaments. If you can stand to wait a month or two, it may be a risk/reward type of thing.
