    Is 7-10 business days for a bankwire too long?
    Bowmans.com (bet365) is informing me that that's how long it will take....

    Surprised at that Bet365 usually are a whole lot quicker, maybe they dont control Bowmans payment processing, i dont know

    But 7-10 days seems to be acceptable for offshore books, i for one would not be happy with that, i probably been spoiled with quicker payments from european books.

      On an international wire, depending on how it's sent, that's only a bit slow. From shops that have advertised that time frame, I've always gotten it faster.

        Even international wires should never take that long, i receive and make payments all over the world and at most it takes 5 days, why are sportsbooks any different.

        Though these anti terrorism and anti laundering legislation crap is now starting to create delays and providing excuses for bookies along with processing delays, people on holidays and all othe BS.

        Makes me wonder why bookies are not forced by licensing authorities to hold X amount in banks at all times to facilitate faster payments because as we know some bookies on occasions end up waiting for deposits to pay winners which is not on.

        But seriously i dont know you all do it when you ahve to wait weeks ofr payments,

          I think that's just a standard customer service type answer. In most cases they arrive faster than they claim.

            Yeah, 5 business days is the longest I've actually waited, and I've had wires received as fast as the next day. I think they build in a little time to get the thing sent off, maybe because they only do certain kinds or a certain number of payouts on certain days, and they build in a couple of days just in case something unexpected happens.

              It takes two days to wire anywhere in the world. And that is only because of people getting in the process--otherwise it would be "same day". The extra length of time is stalling by one or both banks to gain interest on the "hold". The money is being sent electronically, not by fed ex or mule train.

              Even sending to Russian banks, which are the scourge of the world, I have received 3 days. Normally, when you start asking for the "confirmation" #'s on the wire--the money materializes miraculously. I have witnessed this miracle many times.

              In the gaming world, 7-10 business days is the same as next day service anywhere else. relax and ask for the confirmation number if its not there in the 10 days.

                Takes 2 days anywhere in the first world with a normal transfer, once they've sent it. Outside that there'll be more security hurdles.
