#2I'd be interested to know as well. Especially if they have improved the ewallet payout times. Their free half point promo is golden.Comment -

#3I went to live chat and talked to a man named Mike. I asked him about Neteller withdrawals and he said that payout times have improved slightly, "but not to the point where I would feel it proper for me to tell you it has.". It is taking up to around 3-4 weeks give or take.
He was very honest about it and didn't try to sucker me in somehow. Just all around a nice guy and a good representative of his company! He was also nice enough to give me the 100% freeplay deal despite not being an america. Top guy.
I haven't yet had the pleasure of ever going to pick up a ** (or whatever you americans use) with the name of some random guy in Nicaragua on it yet. I am sure the locals here will think I am a drug KingPin or somethingComment -

#4I played with Skybooks for a couple of years. They sent me promos and all the good stuff as long as I was losing, after a year or so I got lucky and hit a bunch of parlays that apparently sent me into the positive with them.
They wouldn't give me any more promos as soon as I got up on them. That wasn't the problem however. There were two, make that three problems:
1.The withdrawal fees are so high, they don't really justify playing there when you can play at other places and withdraw for free, like DSI or Bookmaker.
2.It appears that now according to the post above that they are slowpaying, which usually means the preacher is coming to give the book its' last rites. Why take this risk?
3.The third reason, and one which really pissed me off, is that they went from very polite in dealing with me, to pretty goddmamn rude overnight. As soon as I got up on them, they were really rude. So fvck them, I hope they die.Comment -

You will see that it is a recurring problem, but only with Neteller. The SBR newsfeed also has one slowpay report to bank wire, but that was in the middle of a big move for Skybook so I am willing to believe that it was just a one time occurance. I wouldn't go as far as calling it "slowpay" if a bookie has problems with one method but clearly demonstrates good ability to pay using ** or **. I haven't seen a whole lot of reports on skybook payouts though so I cannot confirm that they are actually paying fast using those methods, but I would imagine so, otherwise we would have heard about it.
The neteller/ewallet slowpaying is a recurring problem with a lot of the offshore bookies, including the phoenix group. But both BP and skybook pay out fast if you are willing to take other methods. It is way more expensive and a bit more of a hassle, but worth it if the book is good.
Thanks for posting your experience though! Appreciated.Comment -

#6First off, Mike at SkyBook is aces . No one goes out of their way more to make sure you're paid. However, SkyBook is not a good Book for Americans. When you collect it has to be by ** at $1000 a shot ($68 fee). So you'll definitely get paid, but only 1K at a time--plus expenses. Rec players only there, unless you're a pro that likes to grab your ankles.
PS BTW, their ** payouts usually go out the same day.Comment -
