Matchbook rejected my interbook transfer from WSEX citing my "churn to balance ratio does not justify another transfer." That is, because I already have a sizable balance at Matchbook, they are refusing additional incoming transfers. Curiously, the email then explained other deposit options available to me including interbook transfers from Pinnacle, BetCris, BetJamaica, Olympic, and 5Dimes (WSEX was ommitted from the list).

This decision makes no sense as I play there as a market maker for a specific marketplace. Every day I seed both sides of that marketplace which requires a lot of money in reserves. Most of my balance is usually in play. Of course, most of my offers expire unaccepted which is why it may appear my "church to balance ratio" is low. I responded to their rejection email with my explanation and asked for a supervisor to review my request. That was two days ago and I have yet to receive a response.

Something is clearly wrong with this situation as their decision is not in anyone's best interest. From this you may draw your own conclusions on 1) WSEX's financial state 2) Matchbook's financial state and 3) the competence of Matchbook's management.

broke, heavily in debt, not competent in the slightest

This happened to me many months ago, right when I was about to get the last of my funds out of WSEX. I had to wait for a check instead, took about 6 weeks if I recall.

i am also waiting for a review after i was told that because i transferred to 5dimes 4 or 5 times since december right after i made the rollover from transfers from wsex i can not do any transfers from wsex.. i did not transfer even close to half the amount to 5dimes that was taken from wsex. so now i am waiting for a surversion to take another look. i have deposited 10's of thousands and have not had 1 check or wire withdrawl. only 10000 to betjam and the 5 dimes transfers. couple thousand all together.how am i using them when i have had withdrawls that total less than 20% of what i have deposited. thought i would hear from them the same day. but i guess not. must be real difficult to figure out my intentions.

I basically have my MB account on "hold" as I don't deposit or transfer with it PERIOD until I am through getting everything (minus a couple thousand in the unlikely turn for the better) out of WSEX. This will be a true test to see how MB responds as they can't use any baloney sandwich "pass-through" bs on me.

I'll keep this thread informed if/when they cut me off. After reading this I fear their only excuse to deny on my account would be my balance at MB, as originally I was told those who were denied were withdrawing/transferring soon after they transferred via WSEX.

My MB account is basically held hostage, and it would be good to know if they continue to allow my transfers via WSEX as this was my most consistent/timely EXIT strategy.

Thanks TomG and others for this important information. Please keep us posted as things develop.

[trixtrix]

this is preposterous, exchanges like matchbook thrive solely on liquidity, which means they can only benefit positively from cash inflow. i can understand imposing a churn restriction when there is an outflow, but never for deposits. this wouldn't even make sense even if it was credit, unless the default risk from your counterparty outweigh the benefits..

from WSEX only? or all other books?

"Thank your for your email. Please note we have rejected your below WSEX transfer request as we are only allowing one transfer per 30 days as your last transfer from Wsex was on April 15th the below is not approved as your are still within the 30 day period. In light of this may we suggest the following alternative deposit method to fund your account during this time......."

Well for those who can still receive them, this was an interesting tidbit. Now one total 2500 transfer via WSEX per month. So the downward trend continues. It should be most apparent now the final/next step will be to cease transfers via WSEX PERIOD.

thanks for the new disturbing information. unfortunatly. of course you are right. next step is obvious.

Havent tried from anywhere else so dont know fro sure but suspect just wsex

[trumpdown]

Well apparently MB doesn't like transfers via WSEX at all anymore as I am now officially cut off too. Good luck to those that can still use this as an outlet.

All I, and the CS rep could gather from this is my balance at MB is too high. Every other (imo) unjustified rule I followed to a tee, so now if you win at MB they don't want money transferred in? Interesting policy. Or more apparent they don't want to cover WSEX if they don't need to.

MB to 5D no problem a few hours very smooth

[Doug]

This is probably good for those that use MB.
