I urge you both to file a complaint with SBR .. to get your money back ASAP !

whatever happens though .. never ever deposit another penny into Bodog .

good luck u guys

Thank you. I have filed that complaint with SBR.

In all honesty, I never wanted to make any negative posts on SBR about Bodog. I would have liked to have continued to have a relationship with them. I've been a very high volume player with them since 2006 and have stayed with them because they have always paid out quickly and efficiently. I've stayed with them because of their strong payout record in spite of the fact that they have never treated me very well as a customer.

It's so sad because it's things like this that leave a bad taste in peoples mouth .. It's one thing that they have horrible lines .. and another thing when they won't pay up .

just don't deposit another penny in that site .. even if u get payed in my opinion ..

Lou ? any SBR admin would like to comment on this situation ?

thanks

p.s : I am located in Canada , Toronto .. and I use Pinnacle .. and it always pays me in less then 5 minutes

Why did my thread about a bad check from Bodog get deleted?

[Chambers99]

Becky,

You simply told me via PM that I was already in contact with the individual at Bodog that I needed to talk to and that there was nothing else that you could do. You gave me no indication that you were doing anything additional on my behalf. It's nice to learn that you have made attempts on mine and Bubba's behalf. Have you been able to come up with a solution to the problem with them? If so, I would really like to hear what that would be. I can't imagine that there are no reasonable solutions here.

You are clearly manipulating the truth in regards to your claim that I am being given withdrawal options. I did receive 2 options. One happens to be illegal, so, no thanks to that one. The other option required having to deposit more money through another method, go through another detailed screening process, expose myself some more to an additional third party with all kinds of personal financial information and then if I were able to get past that, I'd have to wait an additional 30 days to possibly make a withdrawal. That is not a viable option. Nobody in their right mind would deposit even more money on a site that cannot find a way to pay them out. Bodog offered me no guarantees that this option would even work.

What confuses me is that I deposited on Bodog 2 weeks ago through a method that continues to be viable today (so as not to confuse people with a recently shut down method). They wholeheartedly accepted my deposit via this method and then decided to take it away from me as a withdrawal option AFTER I made the deposit.

This morning, after being very patient and silent for many days while giving Bodog a fair opportunity to find a way to pay me, I was told by the VIP CS manager that "we do not see a change in your current payout options in the near future." Those were his exact words. Is that supposed to make me feel optimistic or confident that I will be paid?

Hi Becky,

I haven't heard a response from you in regards to the payout options that have been presented to me. I have explored all of the options with the VIP CS manager. I accepted one of his crazy offers on a way to pay me and it ended up with me opening myself up to a third party, additional exposure on my credit report, cost me additional out of pocket money and then after I completed all of these steps, he told me, "sorry, my ecommerce team says that this is not going to work." You would think that he would have explored that before he offered the option. He then gave me a second "option" and I took more time exploring an absolutely off the wall, crazy scheme that I later found out was also not possible from Bodog's ecommerce dept, also with the same CS manager giving me incorrect information, driving me berserk in the process.

The bottom line here is that I have presented many options to Bodog and they are refusing to accept them. I know that Lou has done his part on my behalf as well and, as of yet, has not been able to make any headway with them. I thank Lou for his assistance, albeit for naught.

So, I guess it remains that this is going to remain a non-payment on Bodog's behalf? I find it absurd and unaccepable that they would accept money from me via a deposit method that they refuse to pay me out through, for no good reason. This payout method is currently viable and is being offered to many other people, including people in my state.

I currently have zero payout options from Bodog, as has been the case for the past 10 days.

this is basically stealing .. they need to and MUST pay this mans money .

Lou or any Admin please reply to this thread .. this person has given more then enough time to bodog to pay him .

Either lower Bodogs rating .. or do something .

bodog is giving you the run around game .. don't play it with them .

bodog has shitty lines too .. so no point in using them

I just got off the phone with the VIP CS manager once again. He told me I will not be paid unless I accept his one option that includes illegal activity on my part. Even if I accepted his illegal option, I know that it will not work because everything they have asked me to do has not worked. He told me that he has no other option for me to receive my money. Simple as that. He told me that no further option will be offered. I guess my high four figure balance there is gone. This in spite of them making hundreds of thousands of dollars off of me over the past 5 years in poker rake and sports wagering. Bodog has no remorse whatsoever. Unbelievable but 100% factual. What a criminal sportsbook.

If what they want you to do is ILLEGAL .. then tell them to fkk off and threaten to report them for endorsing illegal activity .

If i were you .. I would wait at most 1 more week .. If they don't pay you .. go take a trip to Costa Rica and show them who's boss .

If that was my money .. and it was high 4 figures .. and they jacked me around like that .. I would seriously fkk THEM UP bad .. It will be a lesson they will never forget ... but hey that's just me .

they are basically stealing your money .

also do NOT PLAY online poker or online casino at any website .. they are ALL rigged .

trust me on that one .

good luck to you and I hope an SBR admin comes here to help you out some how .

If not I urge you to either pm an Admin and see what they say .

good thing I withdrew my $395 from bodog a month back .. I encountered no issues personally ... but then again I am located in Canada , Toronto .. so I am not sure .

[Chambers99]

Bodog has decided to not pay out my high four figure balance and have given me 0 withdrawal options. I filed a complaint with SBR about a week ago and no progress has been made.

Maybe they know that they are pulling out of the US market any day now and are trying this non-payment route as a way to stiff the customers?

In any case, they have essentially stolen my money, and I have no recourse whatsoever. I would suggest that nobody deposit any more money onto this criminal site and, if you have a lower balance, try and get it out of there ASAP so you don't wind up being stiffed by them like I was.

[thetrinity]

withdrew over 2k 2 weeks ago 0 problems got it in 4 days

[SBR Lou]

Chambers,

Bodog needs you to make a minimum deposit through another method. They will not force a playing requirement, and will refund that deposit + your funds afterwards.

Additionally, you are able to have a relative in a different state receive payment on your behalf. It's an inconvenience certainly, but a problem unique to certain players that can no longer use certain methods.

Lou,

Sorry but that is not entirely the whole story. To use this other method, I would need to go through a background check and give out all of my financial information to another 3rd party. In addition to that, I would need to wait 30 days until I would be able to withdraw. The chances of this company being around in 30 days are not very good. If Bodog were to guarantee that this would work and would assure me that I would receive my funds in another manner if this were not to work, I would consider it, but they have not guaranteed it. I'm sure it would take a lot longer than 30 days to withdraw it anyway, since they seem to have small max deposits/withdrawals.

Additionally, I have been down this road already with Bodog. I tried another one of their unique withdrawal "options" and it took a very long time to open the account with this third party because, in addition to needing all of my personal information, they needed to check my credit background too, which hurts my credit score. I also had to pay a fee to this company to open this side account, which Bodog later said was rejected by their ecommerce department as a withdrawal option and I was not refunded the money by Bodog that I need to pay.

So, given that, why would anyone try another bizarre scheme like this and hurt myself some more? Why can't they just pay me through the company that I deposited with less than 3 weeks ago??? They are a viable company that processes withdrawals every day and it is available in my state too.

As for the relative in another state, I don't have relatives in another state. How is this my fault?

[jesuseatsnubs]

Lou .. given the situation and chambers patience with bodog .. I would be very surprised if you don't downgrade bodogs rating or do something about it .

He has done almost everything on his half .. bodog is just being a pain in the ass and giving him the run around .

Please do not waist anymore time on this drama and just downgrade bodog already .. unless they will pay him by today .

no one should have to wait this long for a withdraw of there OWN MONEY .

what bodog is doing right now is nothing less then STEALING his money .. simple as that .

Good luck to you Chambers and I hope bodog pays you ASAP .. and by that I mean today .. if not by the end of the week AT MOST ... DO not let them give u the run around .. u've been more then patient with them .. after all that is YOUR MONEY .

[bubba]

update on my situation- was contacted by bodog today and it sounds like they will send my withdrawl to a friend/relative of mine. will keep you updated (fingers crossed).......................

[ElLoco23]

Chambers99, Can't you drive to the next state over, PA, NJ, CT, NH, VT, Rhode Island, etc, and just go to one of those Mailbox Etc. places, so you will then have a valid "street address" in that state, even though its really just a po box. Then have Bodog send you a check there?

Are you really down 6 figures with them? If so, for such a small amount of under 10k, they should have one of their agents/employees hand deliver the cash to your door. Shame on Bodog!

I would do that and it was discussed but it was ultimately rejected by Bodog unless I can prove residency there with a utility bill. I've tried to bend over backwards in every way possible. Believe me. I don't want to make a stand like this. I just want what is rightfully mine and Bodog is simply not cooperating. It's very frustrating but ultimately, I am powerless against them. I was hoping that Lou & SBR would be able to assist and I believe that Lou tried but they are stubborn and refuse to be flexible.

I thought the main issue was they couldn't send the funds to you because you are in NY. With Lou stating above that they would send it to a relative of yours in another state makes me think by your answer that they would require that relative to show proof of address on a utility bill as well? It just doesn't make sense. Maybe you can do like Bubba is doing and have a friend out of state get the funds for you. Your friend should be SBRJohn, Bill Dozer or Lou from this website.

It's great that Bubba is able to work this option out to get paid but I can't take a 33%+ loss on my money due to taxes. I report all of my income and if the payment goes through someone else, are they going to be willing to face the possible exposure of the IRS plus the requirement to add it as income to their tax return? Seems like too much of a burden to put on someone else, in addition to a 33%+ leakage of my funds.

if it is actually your money, why would anyone else have to pay taxes on the funds?

Thanks. I'm familiar with him and have talked to him in the past. He is one of the biggest reasons why I report my gambling income as opposed to many who don't. I don't want to wind up in jail!

I'm still waiting for Bodog Becky to get back to me with a solution. On my Bodog profile, I still have 0 withdrawal options. Does your silence mean that Bodog cannot pay me and will keep my money? I've made several suggestions on how they can pay me and they have rejected them all. I hope they are still working on a solution. I understand times are tough but there has to be a way.

[jesuseatsnubs]

Chambers don't let these idiots bully you around when it comes to your own money .. make a new thread to get everyones attention and title it " It's been a month and Bodog still HAS not payed me my near 5 figure amount ! " .. you gotta be like Cory to get admins attention to this problem .

Do not wait around one more day waiting to see what happens ... because i can promise you they will keep giving you the run around . best of luck

Why do you HATE all the books? Every conflict that comes up no matter what the book is I've seen you be an irrational child when it comes to how the person with the problem should deal with the book.

are u stupid ? forget i asked that ..

His been waiting along time to get his own money from BODOG .. they have offered him 0 payment options .

he accepted the only option they offered him and then bodog REJECTED that offer in the end through a 3rd party .. even though this guy had to pay the fee to the 3rd party and bodog did not refund him his fee .

they are keeping near $10k of his money .

you expect me not to say anything in support of him when he does not have any options ? why should I side with the book ? I don't see this guy being at fault AT ALL .. so dam right I will post here in support of him or anyone who's being given the run around by books .

they are basically stealing his money ... can't u see that ? how do you expect me to react when Admins are not posting here to help this guy out much .. so i am just trying to post here to get the attention of the admins to do something for this guy .. even if that something means to lower bodogs rating .

Oh I'm certainly on your side here. My issue was with jesuseatsnubs because he takes away from guys like you by acting like a child in any thread where theres an issue with a book. I shouldn't have even brought it up to him, but he seems to be popping up in all of these threads.

Best of luck getting your money, Chambers.

To update from my perspective, a solution was not found. I was forced into a ridiculous option that is going to net me a fraction of my balance and is unbelievably inconvenient for me. Bodog is assuming none of the responsibility of the tremendous cost that this is type of transaction going to incur for me. Not only do I have to pay Bodog, but I have to pay a third party a significant amount of money as well. In addition, the ridiculous Bodog fees for this type of transaction were not reduced at all, in spite of my being forced into it. Yes, times are tough and I don't believe that Bodog was trying to stiff me. However, to say that they were flexible would be horribly inaccurate. You would think they would share in some of my loss. They refused to share one nickel of my loss. They knew that they were in a position of power since they had my money and gave me a take it or leave it offer.

The only alternative for me was to receive nothing. To say that I am satisfied is far from accurate. I'm just glad to be done with this situation as I have been treated quite poorly.
