    SPORTSBETTING.COM - Received a check today. Are these still bouncing?

    To my surprise, FedEx rang today with my check from Sportsbetting.com. I requested it about 2 weeks ago and it was still being "processed" as of last week. I was very surprised to get it today. On live chat yesterday the CS rep told me it could be 20 business days and they could also not give me a tracking number.

    I have read on here about these checks bouncing when trying to deposit them. Are they still being denied, or have the problems been straightened out?

    I will try to get to the bank later today to see for myself.

    could you give me the exact day you requested? This is more proof to everyone to not even bother with customer service. They don't know anything. ask them again today about your check and I'd be they stills say 20 days.

    Are the funds from a Canadian Bank? They should be fine...I cashed a couple last week.......

    I think I requested it on the 18th. Yes, it is from a Canadian bank. I have cashed several checks from other books drawn on Canadian accounts with no problems.

    I cashed 2 checks from sportsbetting early last week....no problmem as of yet. I know from prior experience that it can take a couple of weeks to find out about bounce. I honeslty dont' think you have much to worry about. 18th thats only a couple of weeks...it appears as though they are getting back on track. i'll put in for another one today. Also I'm waiting on a wire and they have yet to send it.

    I requested a wire on Sept 18th. I got an e-mail from customer service stating that they're sending a check instead via FedEx. That's after I inquired through
    e-mail. I pasted their e-mail message below in quotes. It sounds like the wire thing isn't going to happen. Hopefully, these checks will start showing up from FedEx. I still haven't seen anything yet but I will let you guys know.

    "Your withdrawal request of $1,500.00 placed through Money Wire option will be processed through check in order to process your withdrawal as quick as possible."
    "We are sorry they were not informed beforehand; however, the payments were already processed and sent out. Company made a decision in order to have all withdraws processed in a timely matter."

    I got a $1500 check today too.

    Took about 3 weeks from request to delivery.

    I got a check today too

    I got a check today too for $1500. This one is actually from the wire that I requested on Sept 18th. They sent me an e-mail stating that they had trouble doing the wire so they were sending a check via FedEx instead. The check is from a Canadian bank. If the rest of you guys did a wire request, I assume that you will get a check instead via FedEx. I still have about 5 checks that I'm waiting on from requests that I made the 2nd week of September.

    I will let you guys know if the check that I received today bounces or clears in a couple weeks or so. I'll also update you guys about the other 5 pending checks.

    I'm hoping by Halloween weekend most of these clear so that I can celebrate in style

    Good luck gentlemen!

    Well, relaxing with receivables due is fine, but, as any student of business knows, recievables lose value with every day they are overdue.

    Factoring.

    This book should get their shit together and pay people on time.

    Peep its not the book its the US Government. If you play online it doesn't matter who you play with .... I'm waiting now 9 days from 5 dimes.... This place is doing its best to pay. Do you honeslty think they want to waste thier time with people emailing calling etc.? They are doing all that they can. I have been getting checks from them for months in 3 biz days. They had one problem with bounced checks. The bottom line is you will get paid except the fact you are doing something illegal and realize its going to take time but they aren't a scam shop...

    Honeslty thing about this if you got paid at the begining of the month and put it in the market your 2500 would be worth about 2000 now

    I deposited my check yesterday, and today it is showing up in my available balance. Does this mean it has cleared, or can it still come back later with problems?

    It is my first time withdrawing from this sportsbook. All in all, in took 12 days from my payout request to the check arriving in the mail. Much faster and smoother than I expected after reading all of the problems other posters have had with this book.

    'Available' is not necessarily the same as 'cleared'. My online banking statement shows me my available balance as well as a 'collected' balance. 'Collected' means the check has cleared as they have actually collected the funds from the issuing bank.

    I would wait at least 10 business days before you touch that money. That check can still bounce on you. I deposited one from a sports book and everything looked cool just like you mentioned. Then 7 days later I saw that it bounced.

    Ok, I will wait to see what happens. Fortunately, I don't have any prior experience with checks bouncing on me.
