SBR will probably get them to pay.

This is how a "top 5 book" operates I am LMAO at the offshore industry.

Send ur money to a stranger in a different country and if you ever happen to want a payout you get to send him all your personal info. Address/id card/driverse license/ credit card/ utility bills.

What could go wrong ?

i know it sucks

[captrobey]

Is this the first time you ever withdrew here? Have you ever got payouts before?

of course I've received payouts before been gambling their since they were bodog. That's not the point , the point is you don't make any customer wait like this for a payout.

[LeahMichele]

Still no payout? Its a shame they act like its not the players money. They act like its their money and they pay if/when they feel like it.

I agree almost 2 months now is bad . Is the way you withdrew a new way.If it would have been the first time you ever cashed out maybe there was a paperwork problem or something . Although your right it still should not take almost 2 months. ? It took them a month way back with me and it was why i never redeposited there . Actually it took longer then that if you count all the times i had to resend them stuff. Either my picture was not clear or something was not right on the fax. After they said everything was good it was a month from that point.

Bovada management has said the poster's cheque was sent on June 21 and is expected to be received within the 10-15 business day time-frame. The reason his 3 payouts were consolidated into one was it would have taken longer for the payout to be received.

Also, the normal time-frame is 7-10 business days but had to be updated due to a backlog after the card method was delayed. Bovada expects the regular payout time-frame to be restored soon, and has added bitcoin for faster processing.

[Auto Donk]

After these dopes crashed a weekend $100k gauranteed poker trny while I was the chip leader, just so they wouldn't have to fund the substantial difference between the 100k and the buyins, I haven't touched the f'n site......

there's a reason i call this scuzzy site "BLOWvada....

[TheMoneyShot]

Money, if you don't mind me asking what book tried to stiff you before? If you don't want to discuss it's all good I understand. Personally I've only been stiffed by FullTilt Poker and Bodog. This was several years ago, last decade when the feds seized their websites with that eagle logo and all that bs that went down. The only thing I know for certain is that Bookmaker and 5Dimes always pay. I've never known anyone or heard of anybody getting stiffed by those two books. I don't think I'll ever use another offshore book besides those two going forward. Possibly Heritage cause I hear a lot of good things from people on here but nobody else but those three. It's not worth the risk, even for better lines or quicker payouts. I'd rather be guaranteed the money is coming and wait an extra day or two to get it, then roll the dice and wonder if it's ever coming.

V-Wager was the name of the book. Summer of 2004. Website seemed to be offline 90 days after they paid me.

well I'm glad they told you that , only problem is that it's not true.

just got off phone with them and they denied even saying check was sent which
it wasn't . Instead they said I'm on my 3 rd business day only

because of a Canadian holiday , I'm laughing my arse off over theese lies now.

may 7th this all started , please get your facts str8 ok, they made me cancel checks, because they
deliberatly broke the payout into 3 checks. 3 checks to wait for and pay fees to cash, they keep
giving me stall tactic.

Please check your email, I think there's a disconnect with whoever you've spoken to at the sportsbook.

i don't know what you mean by that, but what I can assure you is no check has been sent to me yet that is true

[TheMoneyShot]

Rac

SBR just posted that your check was sent on June 21. That's confirmed.

It says please allow 10-15 business days for you to receive it.

So... all you have to do is wait now.

bro no check has been sent yet ok, you think I like saying that.

Rac... I'm all for you pal. SBR wouldn't make a post and lie about the time frame.

Perhaps you spoke to a customer rep at Bovada and they misinformed you?

According to what I'm reading... it looks like the check has been sent. All you have to do is wait out the time period for delivery.

That is a good point . I think every time in the past i have gotten a *********** it was 7-14 Business Days sent Fed Ex. I would say just give them that time since SBR says it was confirmed. If nothing comes in that time frame there are a bunch watching this it would make them look even worse, which is why i think you are going to get it.

And wait, just so i get this right. The amount they are sending you is not the amount you asked but 1/3 of it right? Because you made a comment about having to pay 3 fees before. If so that is not right unless they cover the fees. But for now i hope you at least get the first payment soon.

[Jliao4]

Can anyone confirm if this issue only applies to non-bitcoin withdrawals?

[7deuceoff$uit]

OP, I hope that everything works out for you. Today I received a bovada check that I requested June 10th and was approved June 11th. Mine was only for the minimum amount, but I figured I'd drop in here to let you know it was 12 business days for me to get mine. Again, I hope you get paid out. BOL!

[Mike1029]

I just received a cash out from $3,200 from Bovada. I submitted my cash out request on June 7.

[SBR Forum]

We were told the player's payout was confirmed as delivered, looks like he didn't update us.

[michael777]

Bovada paid me by bitcoin yesterday in about 30 minutes

I always enjoy it when people come to SBR beg the mods to help them resolve a situation which they are absoutely certain is fueled by malicious intent. Than when everything is said and done, and their problem is fixed they leave without a trace and not even a thank you for the people at SBR that helped them or even a report back to the community as to how the situation was or wasn't resolved.

This is why we cannot have good things.

If books would just pay players in an honest, timely manner, then people wouldn't have to come here and make threads like this one, among countless others. There's no satisfactory explanation as to why a book can take your money in seconds or minutes as a deposit, but takes weeks, sometimes months to pay when you win and request a payout. None. I'm glad this site exists and that people have problems though cause it's very telling. You start to notice patterns and draw conclusions. I know that personally thanks to reading threads on this site I'll never deposit at any offshore books other than Bookmaker, 5Dimes, Heritage or Nitrogen. I agree with you that the OP should've at least followed up and said thanks.

The problem I have with people coming here complaining about not being able to withdraw as fast as they can deposit is that alot of times these delays are not the fault of the bookmaker but rather the legacy financial systems they must rely on to process these withdrawals. If you've ever worked with a bank you'd know that to get money out is alot harder than to get money in. The same applies to these bookmakers who must be moving thousands each day in and out of their accounts and for each transaction you can sure as hell bet that the bank wants some kind of verification and KYC/AML before processing the transaction.

Case in point someone above claimed Bovada processed their Bitcoin withdrawal in 30 mins. So clearly its not like Bovada is purposefully stopping you from withdrawing your money. Bascially if people want to be fingerpointing it should be at these legacy financial institutions and their long winded compliance requirements.

Because offshore gambling sites, especially those with about 100,000+ customers, hundreds of employees, and hundreds of processors should never have a problem paying every single request in a few days in today's legal and financial crackdown environment. The thought that someone might actually have a delay once in a while is unthinkable. Let's face it, every legal business pays its customers on time, every time, with a 100% customer satisfaction rate, and certainly a grey market business should too.

I hope the sarcasm came through.

[Grivas_Digeni]

If I register to Bovada and deposit bitcoin (say $1000), how long would I have to wait for a withdrawal of a similar size? Any fees? Do they send BTC withdrawals during weekends (because betDSI doesn't)?

I have received several payouts from Bovada. It takes a while but I have received them.

It's just not that easy when you're talking about an illegal activity for most of us and offshore books combined with a banking industry set against us, yeah what could possibly cause delays. It's the nature of the business, one that I am greatful for using and don't want to see go away but understand that it's going to have it's hiccups.

[steady hustlin]

All the Costa Rican bookies suck. They treat you like shit, the process is incredibly informal, and they could give a fk about us. Nothing beats a good local, nothing. You get the whole amount in cash and you don't have the headache.

[JIBBBY]

Takes a month to get paid on Bovada via card or bank funding.. I know I just did it.. They'll pay though.. Just wait...
