    Bookmaker paid me today!!!

    In light of yesterdays events, I would like to report that I received funds from BM this morning. I'm not lying

    and I'm not a shill. However, oddly enough I'm still waiting on a prior payout request from May 13th. But, I did

    get paid today from my request on May 20th. I would reveal how I recieved the funds, but SBR might lop my

    head off. Thank You.

    I don't think it means much if the payout was sent before the seizure. Hopefully, payouts will go through without any problems. I have a 5 figure balance at CRIS. I requested most of it by Neteller yesterday evening US time. I hope to receive it today.

    BM has player funds many times over. The only time payments arent fast is when processing is an issue. They might slow if everyone takes a payout at once and then when everyone sees the money is good, they deposit it all back. Lots of transactions become the issue. This has been the case for years with the big books.

    Yeah, I think people are going to confuse problems and delays with processors and payments with the book being insolvent.

    I requested 2 payouts from DSI: funds were withdrawn from my account on 5/10 & 5/17. I haven't received either payout as of yet, which normally would receive in 3 days. DSI tells me my $$$ is on the way, but I'm not so convinced. Being the sister site of Bookmaker, I would like to think my $$$ is safe. Anybody receive a payout from DSI lately?

    I'm thinking the processors are just backed up with the avalanche of payout requests, hope it's nothing more serious like their processors getting pinched somehow.

    I am not and I dont really understand why people would be in such a rush now to withdraw anyway. This is a horrible time to withdraw, if you really felt your money was in danger it could get stuck with a processor and it could be weeks. This is turning out to be nothing like the poker busts, excluding BetEd which must have never been solvent in the first place.

    When the poker busts happened , you knew within the first few hours you were never going to play live cash games at full tilt,stars, UB, absolute again. Its nothing like that with dsi/bookmaker.

    I just sent another small deposit to dsi, its still the best betpoints program out there and I really havent seen anything to make me think this is just a domain name seizure and anything more. We shall see but its still one of the best books out there..

    really?

    well I guess A+ rated books can take 6months to pay as long as they pay eventually right?

    They are solid they will pay. it may be a little dicey on checks to the US though. These places make a lot of $$$ and aren't going anywhere

    That is good to hear. That tells me that BetEd is the ones that they were mostly going after.

    It seems that money held at Bookmaker is not at risk; the risk is asking for a payment to the U.S. and then having some type of seizure when the funds are in transit. I'm going to leave my money at bookmaker and not request any withdrawals until I'm sure the storm has passed.
