I've used thegreek off and on for a few years. Never had much In the account so I never withdrew any money. Anyways I got on a hot streak earlier this month and made 7k. So now I want to make a withdrawal. I funded with echeck so thought it would be easiest to use that method for withdrawing. Then they tell me to send them photo id with my address. Clearly a stall tactic on their part but whatever. The problem is the address I gave them when I opened my account had changed a few years ago. So they want me to send my current address ID and an old bill with my previous address on it. How do they expect me to keep old bills from years ago. Am I boned?

what was the address you used on the echeckComment -
A lot of people are not going to believe you, but I do. I used the Greek some years ago. It has been so long that I forgot my password. I can not log in now. I sent a email and I also called them to try to get the info, but they dont have it or will not give it to me. They say I am not using the same email address as I signed up with. I mean this was like 4 or 5 years ago. I change email addresses quite often. The Greek customer service wise is a D at best. Finally, its there loss. I just want deposit or use them anymore.Comment -
First off, Welcome to the SBR forum
You can always request a previous bill from a utility company sir.Comment -
if the address on the echeck matches your current address and you provide a bank statement that matches your current address, you should'nt have a problemComment -
The address I've been giving them when I use echeck is my new one and they never hassled me about it of course until it was time to withdraw. Might see if I can request an old electric bill from 3 years ago. What a pain in the ass.Comment -
In their defense, do you want them to be willy-nilly with your $? It is a PITA, but as long as you have proof, it isn't a bid deal.Comment -
Greek is A+++
The Greek Pays on time everytime period! Send them what they're requesting and you'll get your money. I only believe in 2 books (Greek and Matchbook). Trust me when I tell you they are not sweating your 7,000 payout- chump change for the Greek. Would you prefer they have no security measures in place and let anyone withdraw from your account?
The Greek is the best in the business. You will get paid- take that to the bank!Comment -
Im just a bit frustrated. Never had these problems back in the neteller days. Anyone ever not get paid by these guys?

Give them the proper documentation and you will get paid 100% of the time.Comment -
Hope you get paid bro...Dont forget your family during this hot streak..hint hintComment -
It does seem like a hassle I went through the same situation but trust me it's worth the peace of mind that comes with playing with them. It's inconvenient but it's a one time thing only, once you get them the documentation you'll get the fastest payouts in the industry.Comment -
Greek is a pillar, no doubt. They have never failed on paying me -- EVER.
And the great thing is that after all this time I have learned to speak Jamaican!!!!Comment -
I would like to check out theGreek sportsbookComment -
What the Greek's doing is normal at all books when your depositing via CC or Debit. Depositing by ** or ** will probably give you less hassle and no documentation require.
The lastest stalling tactic that books usually put on people when requesting payouts is the Faxed required documents not being clear enough to read, and them forcing you to send it in several more times. It's probably better to do a scan and e-mail it instead.Comment -
I do have one thing to nit-pick .. and that is that I haven't been able to use the plastic. Said unavailable 3 times... so I w/d with other methods. But I'll try to do it again after this weekend.. (have to speak in vague terms)Comment -
Got this today from them when i requested a payout. I used my credit card one time to deposit $100. Anything they can do to put this off.
"Dear Mr.,
We sincerely apologize for you not being previously informed, however you
need to submit the following documents as well for withdrawal processing:
A copy back and front of the card you used to make your deposit
A recent statement for the card
A completed copy of a credit card authorization form which can be found on
the website at www.thegreek.com/ccauthorize.htm.
You may submit these documents by fax to 1-800-310-8304 or scan and e-mail
to accounts@thegreek.com.
Also, please submit the last four digits of your checking account.
Regards,
Neesha

The Greek would never slow pay anyone.

Space Monkey, as far as I can tell this is standard in the industry.....I don't know how I can reassure you anymore than others have already tried in this thread, but you will get paid. There are many, many crap books out there who will stall and slow pay; The Greek is definitely not one of them.Comment -
Everything appears to normal. They removed the money from my account andn I should receive its by Tuesday. Hopefully next it will be a lot simpler.Comment -
I just went through this at the beginning of the Month, although I was making an ** withdrawal. I had made withdrawals before, a while back. I sent my ID and stuff, but I had recently changed it. So, I faxed in my old ID with my new one. However, I had signed up with a PO Box years ago, so I had to find an old electric bill with the PO Box and then faxed that all in. So, I called in the morning they said everything was good and processed... I got my money the same day. It was a pain, true, but the payout was fast after that and hopefully, I won't have to go through that again, for a while...
Good LuckComment
