    Withdraw Request Limit....

    well I finally found a flaw with bookmaker....besides their casino software....and I wont even go there...lol

    they limit you to 1 payout request per 7 days

    as I found this out tonight....when I tried to make a second request in that period

    for me....that tells me one thing....its the old hold onto the players monies in hopes they spend their balance (and as us gamblers know we WILL spend daily)... ...reminds me of the old SIA and Intertops days....my first 2 online betting sites....they LOVED to hold that money....but they did always pay....just when they felt like it or got around to it

    well I have been meaning to make a deposit with 5 dimes....I have played with them before during the neteller days....and they paid me the same day...the one payout I did request from them about a year ago

    I went ahead out of my own curiousity and contacted 5dimes live help about payout request limitations

    they said **=1 every seven days
    f ex check=1 every 5 days I think

    and last but certainly not least

    1 per day via **....hmm...thats odd...thats who bookmaker deals with right?...how come they cant do the same??....its cause they dont choose to....ive heard around the forums that they would have no problem paying $50,000 and blah blah blah....but yet they need to hold my little dime for 7 days....

    ive only been playing with bookmaker for about 4 months now....I killed them the last couple of days with ORL magic bets...the pats (of course who didnt)...and the broncos earlier tonight....you really dont know a book until you attempt that first withdraw request....well I know them a little better now....and thats enough for me to take my action elsewhere

    we should be entitled to our money when we want it....I know its shady with offshore after the law passed...and getting paid is the main thing to be concerned with....

    but if a different soild book dosent have this limit while bookmaker does....when its obvious its not something that ** is limiting....that tells me its time to move on....Im sure they arent worried about my little $100 a night action....they are big time....or so I thought

    this is just a opinion by me....you may not feel the same way

    William Hill has the same rule, if you want to withdraw with bank transfer. You have to wait 7 days to request a new withdraw.

    there is NO reason for these books to have this rule

    the books that do this just want to hold your money

    wouldnt you agree?

    I agree, I remember I was very angry when I could not withdraw. Yes, they hold your money, and maybe you change your mind, and..... lose the full balance.

    They added this rule, when neteller was no longer an option and they got flooded with withdrawal requests over loading their processor. I have seen this rule at other books. It may be time to remove the rule now, as things seem to have stabilized. If it were my sportsbook, there would be one free withdrawal per week for any amount as long as the bettor is giving my book action and not using it as an offshore savings account. Any additional withdrawals beyond once a week would be charged a fee. Professional bettors would also get free withdrawals, as they help the book set the line, and balance action.
