Never use bodog

[Raston56]

I had something similar to what the OP is taking about happen to me.

My old CC number was stolen (2nd time in 2 years since moving to Miami btw) and when I requested a payout Bodog said that I needed to confirm that card too. Problem was that I shredded that card months ago.

I called customer service and told them that the card was deactivated 6 months prior and was irrelevant to the deposit from which my payout came. The guy I spoke with was very helpful . He said that he would look into it and see if he could verify the card for me. Within 30 minutes, he called me back and I was good to go. This may or may not be normal for them - the card used for my deposit was a reissue of the stolen card, so the first 8 numbers were the same.

As for taking a long time to get checks - i received my last check 2 or 3 days after I put the request in! I don't know where they ship the checks from, but if they are sent from the Caribbean - where I live may very well be the reason for that.

See . . . I don't have all bad things to say about the Dogger.

I have never had a problem with them.

BoDog is one of the few trustworthy books..
I currently don't use them, but I recommend them to anyone who asks me about gambling online.

Must say that while they are a bit unusual in their policies at times I have always been paid promptly as well.

ya last year I remember it took a bit longer to get a check sent to me. But being with them so long, I didn't care (or I wasn't worried) because I understand that it's not the same as it was 4 years ago. They always pay. A while later, back to normal. You guys need to realize they have to do shit differently now to pay US players and sometimes there's a temporary delay.

New players might freak out if that happened initially I suppose.

I remember working at vip.com in Curacao. I guy got his VC declined for $40 because he was on a Blacklist for charge backs. He posted shit about us at 2 different forums. I spoke to the guy and even offered to cover the fees if he could send $50 ** but all he did was yell and swear. None of what he said was true but others probably believed it.

The whole sportsbook/pokerroom practice of verifying the card when you go to cash out is bull even though it's totally standard. If I made the charge on my card months ago, and have played for an entire season, you can't send out a check in the same name as the card? If they were actually concerned about preventing fraud they'd require verification before or immediately following deposit. They just want you to keep your money on site, figuring most degens are too lazy to jump through the hoops to cash out. I for one don't like having to make the trip to FedEx but whatever.

You're exactly right that they should ask for the info when you deposit not when you withdraw. Back in the day WSEX did it that way.

I have no problem with them getting verification, but clearly it's placed where it is (at withdrawal time) for a reason.
