    My "progress" on my withdrawal from sportsbook.com

    Good evening Gentlemen. I'm new here and I wish I found out about this forum before I invested over a thousand dollars into Sportsbook.com. And let me reassure you that I'm not a shill for sportsbook.com. I'm just another gambler who wants to get his money he earned.

    I was referred to it by a friend who said, "it was great and Legit."

    And my experience was just that...until my first withdrawal attempt.

    I faxed my photo ID and utility bill, and it all seemed to go as planned. Then I got the email stating that my photo "was not legible." So I sent it again via fax, with the same response.

    the next time I scanned it and emailed it. Today I put in another withdraw request (my second) for 1100 via express courier. I do not have the "***********" capability.

    I will keep you guys posted on my progress on a dailly basis. And if there is any advice, please feel free to tell me.

    Thanks.

    Fortunately you no longer need Use My Wallet as they've added a wire feature, just received 1st one, no problem. They'll want a copy of a voided check I believe ... GL

    This is day 2 of my odyssey. And my withdrawal status is "pending" .

    In all fairness to to sportsbook.com they do say that checks are processed in about 2-3 weeks.

    So technically speaking, I shouldn't be annoyed yet. I will keep you guys updated on my progress on a daily basis.

    Ok, my withdrawal request has been cancelled and my funds returned to my account. I called customer service and the woman told me that I put my request for withdrawal in before they received all he proper information from me regarding my ID, and utility bill. She told me to put in another withdrawal request and this time it should be processed without any problems.

    For 1100, I'm willing to grind it out. I still have about 400 in my account balance with three pending wagers.

    I wonder how their debit card function works.

    Sportsbook has emailed me today and has said, "thank you for submitting your bank information. Your withdrawal will be made using this method...(I recently changed my bank account number)

    I however requested a cashier's check and called them requesting this.

    I know that this sportsbook has a history of bouncing checks, but we'll see how long it takes for them to deliver it and I don't feel comfortable relaying my bank information to a business off shore.

    The customer service rep told me 10-15 business days. I will keep you guys updated.

    This is an email to inform you that, as per your request, your pending withdrawal for $XXXXXX which was requested on 04/11/2009 will now be sent to you as a check via courier.

    they pay within 24 hours just set up with use my wallet as far as faxing info from now own take a picture of any info you need to send with a camara and sent it as a jpeg. This is what I have done in the past and never had any problems. Why in the world would you get paid with a check. use my wallet or wire checks are taking months. Use my wallet takes 24 hours!

    I don't have that option. Apparently you have to be "invited" to get use my wallet. I don't know the necessary steps to acquire this function.

    If you want fast paying books that are solid, play with Greek, BetJM, Legendz, PIG, you will have your check in your hands within 2 days! All give 1 free per month, except Greek, which is like $25, but Greek offers a lot more betting options and have higher limits.

    Good Luck

    Sportsbook.com has been nothing but a headache from the second I wanted to withdrawal. They bounced a $1300 check twice over a month ago and I'm still battling to get the funds out. Trying to get the wire worked out. Terrible place to do business with.

    Intertops
    First Fidelity BetPop or Youwager
    BetJam

    All of them paid me fast with no hassle, once credit card forms are verified. Those books will not play games and BS you with your money when requesting a withdrawal.

    my withdrawals

    i play at sportsbetting.com, pretty much the only site i use. made withdrawals of 2000, 2000, 1300, and most recently 1400 so far this year. first three all processed no problem, received them via wire transfer within 3 buss. days. last one is still pending and its been 5 buss. days. they said it was due to the easter holiday, easter is on a sunday so i don't know how that would slow it down but whatever. a lil nervous because they said it is still pending. i had problems with my first one as well with getting them all the info, but that has been the same with every site i've ever played on. i think the site is a lil more reliable than ppl make it sound, by far not the best from a customer service standpoint. anyone else having problems due to the "easter holiday" don't like the fact that they don't let you set a deposit limit either. has anyone been able to do that?

    I am "working on" a 4K withdrawal as well at Sportsbook.

    Been four days of this and that, but I think they are sincere, and the money is now out of my account and apparently will be on it's way Moneybookers tomorrow.

    Ok boys, I just checked my "withdraw status" today. and my check has been sent by courier today.

    I will keep you posted on how long it takes to be delivered here. And of course, I will let you know whether or not the check bounces.

    I'm caught in the easter holiday b.s. But I wouldn't worry about it to much to be honest I put in for my wire last Wednesday and it did end up processed 4/15 I would suspect it will be in my account today or so but I have ALWAYS been paid and have collected much biggers sums. never an issue although sometimes I have to wait it out it will be cool.

    I am in a battle with them now.. I received my checks totaling 7400 back in febuary.. My bank called I verify the checks validitiy and found out all were fraudulent. Then they closed my account due to trying to cash fraudlent checks. I tell sportsbook.com and they tell me to send copies of the check which I have now about 10 times.. Then I get a email stating they need the legal copies.. Well WTF I have the legal copies.. Then they state if I send in the letter from my bank which I did and still I get the same response "we need the legal copies" I explained to them that my bank didn't even deposit the checks due to them being fraudulent. I am still battling with them to pay me.. Any ideas on how to get them to pay up?

    I would suggest that everyone who plays at Sportsbook.com opt for the wire method. Their check payouts have been increasingly bad even for them.
