    Problem with youwager and first fidelity
    Okay I have made many many deposits to youwager.com over the past year. I brought my balance up to over 11k and asked for a withdrawal. They told me they wanted to first refunds all my credit card charges then send me a check for the rest. They were suspossed to refund 6200+ worth of credit card charges. I have waited and waited and only 2497 have been refunded. I have spoke to them and they said that they have done everything on there part and that the processor is out of business. They told me to call my bank and dispute the charges as they have no other option. I called my bank and they are saying it has been too long and they can no longer help me and dispute the charges as per cardmember agreement. So now Im stuck. I have emailed them telling them I will send in my credit card statements showing that only 2497 have been recieved but they dont even answer anymore! They know exactly which credit card processors are no longer in business and just hoping i can a loss i guess? Below is the chat from them if you dont believe me. The funny thing is when all this started the transactions were over 4 months old so there was no way i could dispute them like they wanted.
    info: Please wait for a site operator to respond.
    info: You are now chatting with 'LUKE'
    LUKE: hi matthew
    LUKE: Welcome to our live chat service.
    147xxx: lincoln and dayana are working on a refund issue for me are either of them around?
    LUKE: Hello. How may I assist you?
    LUKE: one min please
    Dayana: I'm sorry Matthew unfortunately I'm afraid you will have to ********** the transactions since we don't longer have access to what the processor is doing
    147xxx: i really dont want to have to ********** any of the transactions as i have already paid off all the credit cards. is there anyway to just put that money back in my account so i can wager with it?
    147xxx: if not i understand im just not trying to go that route
    Dayana: I'm sorry sir we can't
    Dayana: we don't longer have access to that information or to the transactions that we refunded
    Dayana: we sent a request long time ago we did everything in our side if you said you haven't received the money yet then you will have to ********** the transactions to have them credited back to your credit card
    147xxx: lincoln does i talked to him 2 days ago and he knew exactly which had been refunded and which had not
    Dayana: he doesn't really know which one are refunded or not
    Dayana: since we don't have access to your bank statement
    Dayana: we can give you the dates & descriptor with the amounts of all refunds we processed in our end
    Dayana: and you can start from there when doing the **********
    147xxx: okay im pretty sure after 30 days you can not charge back transactions so im going to pretty much be stuck with them?
    Dayana: no sir you can ********** even 2 months after you processed the transaction

      FF will resolve this properly. You should have 90 days to dispute a transaction by the way with your credit card company.

          Strange, wondering if they're having financial problems. I'll find out soon enough when I do a ** cash out sometime this week.

            I 'm hoping they are not hurting, cause it sounds like they are and are looking for a way to keep your money.

            They have been calling me every day asking for me to fund them.

                  But they've been doing that to me since I joined over a year ago. Seems like the norm to me, just like what Bookmaker is constantly doing.

                      Wow. I went to their website youwager.com and they are offering 105% bonus and gamblers insurance. Those are two key items listed on a sportsbook's site that SCREAM RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. I truly love to read the logic behind gamblers insurance. I was at Betus 5 years ago and they came out with that bullshit.

                        thats only 35% percent free-play. The rest of the stuff has little to no value. I think they had similar promo forever. However, I just deposited there. And they do sound desperate. They better not **** me.

                          I don't understand why they would ask somebody to do a charge back. That doesn't sound like a good withdrawal method.

                              My team has played there, and will continue to do so. I don't have any first-hand information suggesting they are having financial problems.

                                  It seems weird that they want to refund your card. They should only do this for the latest deposit amount. Anything over that should be your choice.

                                              First Fidelity is straight up in all my dealings with them. Ivania in payoffs dept is great and I get my withdrawls fed exed in 48 hours max. Not the best offerings all of the time at FF, but Easy in and more importantly Easy out with the money, plus a dimeline in baseball makes them one of my favorite books here lately.

                                              The calls used to be annoying, but about six months ago, I emailed customer service and told them the all the calls were very annoying.
                                              I got a return email telling me, they would slow up with the calls.
                                              I responded thats not good enough, If I get one more call I'll never use you again. "I don't want any calls."

                                              they said ok and I haven't gotten any more calls.

                                              I'm sure you will get your money, and I would recommend you call in and ask for Ivania or email her at Ivania@youwager.com

                                                This dispute is subtle. There's no clear wrongdoing on either party, but this will take time to resolve.

                                                  Subtle?

                                                  If there's a problem with processors, is it really that hard to just send the guy a check for his money? In my mind it's not acceptable to play that processors angle out against players; as if the book is just becoming aware of it.

                                                    If there's a problem with processors, is it really that hard to just send the guy a check for his money? In my mind it's not acceptable to play that processors angle out against players; as if the book is just becoming aware of it.
                                                    Ok, how about subtle and complex?

                                                    I don't want to post any details at this point. Both both parties are working with me towards resolution.

                                                      i've always had great dealing with FF as well. really like the dimeline in bases up to -200 i think.

                                                      glad to hear a resolution is being worked towards.

                                                            Your balance is fine. They've paid out pros 6-figures with no hassle. This is an unusual case.
