    Thread talking about this already.

    I’m thankful to get paid something weekly in a shut down in sports right now.

    I'm guessing the books are sending these reload bonuses in an attempt to get some cash/bitcoin flow on the books to be able to con't to payout....even if its smaller limits. It won't take but 1x for a player to have an issue w/payout and it will blow up like the World Trade Center

    only able to pay 3k shows they are not prepared to payout, regardless of the circumstances.

    i agree - why can't they wire or send a check instead.

    Yes and it's really amazing there are people around here saying others should be "thankful" for unannounced dramatically reduced payouts. It's our money, not the bookies' money. As the late Tony once told me via livechat, "your balance is yours".

    Makes me wonder about the affiliation of some of these posters.

    That said, I'm pretty sure the big boys are coming out of this okay in the end. Will be interesting to see who goes under.

    The reduced limits on withdrawals sucks, as does the waiting period in between, but as long as I continue to receive my checks in a timely fashion, I won't complain. 2 for 2 so far.

    Guys,

    Let's put this into perspective -- even Amazon has slowed down, freaking Amazon. The A+ books are fine, these are needed measures during an unprecedented time. That's why there's added value with promotions on the table till we get through this and sports are back into the fold.

    I've been ordering off of Amazon all this week. No delays and I can receive my balance back to my card instantly.

    Not really a reasonable comparison imo.

    There have been many delays with different items and even media press on it. Regardless, the point is that businesses of all kind, even the largest in the world are making some changes that may temporarily inconvenience users with everything going on.

    I was going to respond

    Are there any other industries that have started holding clients' money until further notice?

    but at the end of the day argument by analogy doesn't work, I do actually have some pity for these offshore books and I do believe the big boys will pay out. At the same time I do think it's rough on those who were expecting payouts.

    No big deal. I feel 100% safe with my funds there. With little to bet on in the next month or so. I will not be doing too much wagering

    Yeah, the Amazon analogy doesn't work for me at all. Slowing down would mean fewer payouts processed. The Amazon analogy to this would be Bezos saying "sorry, we will still process refunds, but not for any item valued at over $100". That doesn't make sense. This is a move to keep as much money in play as possible. It has to be. Because the alternative - that they don't have enough segregated funds to cover all customer deposits - would be very, very bad.

    You really believe that any of these books actually segregate deposits? They use them to run their business.

    Lol, needed measures for this unprecedented time.. No shit I almost fell out of my chair over this post.. Got to be joke. No added value in a free 50 dollar casino bet from BOL, with btc deposit... When fine print states 50x rollover and not all casino games count towards roll over..

    Serious question to all... If I started a business and ask for investors, to invest unlimited money into the venture ( in a 3rd world country).. Catch was you could only withdraw 3k a week no matter how much you invested... What would any normal person call this... Hint.. Two words.. First word begins with a P and ends with I.... Second word begins with S and ends with e

    I’m confused by you.. One post your bitching about funds being held... Another post your sympathizing with books...Last post your worried about player payouts.. God dam son.. Pick a side

    Segregated or not, they should be able to cover deposits. I realize it's naive to think that they all do. But well run books should. Because if they can't cover deposits, then they're not a profitable business. Or they have a really bad cocaine habit or something.

    It takes the same amount of time to send $3k as it does $30k. No one is complaining about delays; people are worried about a hard cap on weekly payouts.

    Besides limiting payouts they no longer give rebates on horse racing. When did that change? They used to have good rebates.

    I wrote a few days ago indicating the lack of liquidity of the sportsbook and SBR deleted the post. The time will come when no one can withdraw money or the big sportsbook. If a client wants to withdraw 30K from the bookmaker, he needs 10 weeks !!! but when they deposited the 30K they didn't tell them that.
