One max check received and deposited to my account, and the check has been posted to my account after 24 hours. So far so good, I'm still owned one more check.

[Harmy G]

I'll see that TV and raise you your life.

String-raise! That's just a call.

[Monte]

I don't know how they make the payouts now, or how they even got in all that mess in the first place ofc.
My point was just that...can you imagine a book like Wsex actually stiffing ppl, and the industry like bookmaker etc. simply will watch the bad news spread?
I honestly can't, and that's why i still feel rather safe there...only time will tell if that is a fairy tale or not.

[n00bee]

update: as stated earlier deposited replacement check on 10/08. Still looks okay (i.e. it hasn't bounced) but was waiting on it as the last one bounced after 5 days, so I'm feeling a little less hesitant. Might actually take out the money now. FWIW I called twice a week after the first one bounced, maybe the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

[Absolutelyonfire]

Just got off phone with WSEX....been promised check next week

how many times have I heard that story ?

Told them if I don't receive by Thursday, I will be at their offices Friday morning !!

good luck --- i was told the same thing the week before i got my check,by olivia. i wanted to believe her, but did not. hope you get yours next week and any others you may have coming quickly.

[Patrick McIrish]

For the record the one I recently got did not bounce. Hate to admit it but if this continues I will eventually be back to give them another shot. Always liked this place.

Actually starting to believe I might actually see one of my payments in the not too distant future....I'm Player 2 on the slow pay list

[sneak-a-peak]

Its nice to see they are paying people from August! While my checks from March and April are still up in thin air.

Unbelievable

[sneak-a-peak]

August 30th that is- might as well be Sept (last month)

Phuck this book forever for me!

[Kenpetros]

I'm still waiting on one more payment from Feb 2nd. They have paid me $6000 this year at a snails pace. As sneak-a-peak states, how the hell can they pay people from August when they can't pay me from February. Unbelievable indeed. WTF?????

[Absolutelyonfire]

It's unbelievable payment is made from end of August when I've been waiting 241 days and haven't received one single payment yet !!! Unreal !!!

[obamaismyuncle]

**** wsex. someone would have to be an idiot to deposit there after all this. hope the thieves pay you soon. **** wsex

[BackDoorCover]

Its definitely not FAIR, but it doesn't surprise me, financially stressed businesses do this all the time. They can pay you $21,000 and have ONE customer paid in full (and not complaining) or use that same $21,000 and probably pay off at least a DOZEN other customers in full. Usually the largest liabilities in these situations are the last to get their $$. Definitely not fair to you, but I'm sure wsex is trying to maximize the bang for the limited bucks they have to pay out.

Well, I just received a check for 5,000. I received one for 3,000 a few weeks ago. Assuming this check goes through that will pay off my 3 checks. The furthest one dating back to 2/23/10. I dont know if this means they are going to start paying again. Part of me wishes I would have continued to bet there for the hell of it and the other half says no. I still have 5500 in my account. Dont know what to do.

i got 1st check(7 months late) 2 weeks ago(it did clear). called and cancelled 2nd check for the 30% bonus. hope more people do the same. so they will have money to pay me but even more important is that this book gets back to where it was. i like playing there. like the set up. like live betting there. but all this is meaningless if they can't get back on thier feet. and that takes people trusting them again and depositing. do not see why anyone would trust them already but -- i did and hope others will.

[carysb7478]

received a tracking number when I went on their live chat this am.....hopefully this one doesn't bounce like the last. Still awaiting 2 more

Looks like I've given this one enough time after depositing it to confirm that it has cleared my bank fine, unlike the first check they sent. Still waiting on 2 max checks from 4/2 & 4/5. They won't give me any sort of time frame. Frustrating but at least I'm more confident they will pay up

[Absolutelyonfire]

Just received check for 1 payment exactly 8 months from withdrawal request. 6 payments still pending.

I too love the site and live betting but i have way too much money in my account to take a 30% bonus. I don't recall receiving that offer either. I respect your loyalty. I am still on the fence.

i know what you mean. i only took the 30% bonus because i had under a $1000 left. the week before i was able to move over $3000 to other sites, in live betting. good luck - in whatever you decide to do.

[Russinat]

Just received my second of three max checks today from March. Once this clears down to one!

I'm not on that list, but I would be Player 4. I am owed 15k dating since January.

[bayman]

I requested a payout ($1000) last month. I was told it would take 20 business days to process. 20 days passed this week, and I just got an unsolicited email with a FedEx tracking number. Color me cautiously optimistic.

[ByeShea]

I honestly can't, and that's why i still feel rather safe there...only time will tell if that is a fairy tale or not.

At what point can we call it a "stiff"?

Let's just say I requested a payout for $2000. 1 year later I do not have that $2000. Have I not been stiffed?

If a local owes me $2000 and avoids me like the plague for a year ... and only pays when he has no other choice, how do I recall that experience - that I did not get stiffed?

I say, "that's the guy who stiffed me for 2 grand! Finally got paid a year later!"

You tell me if he ever gets any action again.

I hope you all get paid, I hope WSEX recovers into the normal, dependable book it once was - but this has been a shitshow.

[thesharkman]

I have just been paid again just 10 days after the last payment, 7 days from the actual request, but more amazingly; with absolutely no reminder from me. GL all.

[carysb7478]

just did my daily chat with wsex.....was told to expect a tracking number by next thurs for check #2 out of 3.

[Monte]

There is one thing that confuses me in this mess, very few ppl who are waiting for checks seem to try to get a b2b to matchbook (do they transfer to other books?). Does this not work anymore, same slow-pay? Or what is going on?

[trumpdown]

I was told Matchbook would "consider" resuming transfers via WSEX, but only under the condition that I transfer at least the same amount back to WSEX before I could cash-out or transfer elsewhere. Disillusioned, I figured there are better ways to slowly withdraw some money out of WSEX. Truth be told if you are actively using this book I find it near impossible to draw down there whether they pay or not.

[Monte]

nm..

[RickySteve]

Still waiting on 14 checks from February and March.

[bayman]

Got a check today via FedEx for withdrawal request made in September.

[doryj]

still waiting for 4 checks (the earliest from 6 months ago) - just requested another today. Don't get why some people are getting paid ahead of those of us waiting forever.

Coz they pick whom they pay. You are prolly a sharp bettor.

[sky1]

WSEX has gone downhill in the past year or two. They:

• have slow pays (took me a month to get paid)
• use to have Live Betting offerings everyday . . . now some days they have none
• use to offer Live Betting totals betting . . . but have not in the past several months
• Pause Live Bettingseeminglymore often than it is available to bet.

Their sister company, Matchbook, is much better for Live Betting, customer service, and odds.

Leaving $$ at WSEX these days is like betting . . . only bet (or leave at WSEX) that which you can afford to lose!

Nothing has changed since I posted this over 4 months ago . . . do not trade with WSEX . . . sooner or later you will be unhappy if you do.
