Poker Situation affecting Sportsbooks?

[MattRegaw]

I have recently been informed that a few sportsbooks have bounced checks because of problems with the processors.



Curious if the connection is in payout processors.



Anyone else getting this?

Yes it is because of the processors because the books outsource their payouts I think. But this has been an on and off again problem since UIGEA was passed in 2006, for all books.

I think you meant to ask if it had anything to do with the recent busts (if not I apologize). I don't know the answer to that. Wish I did.

use western u and money gram.

Not really an option for reasonably large bettors.

Just tried to deposit at two different places and was turned down. Seems like all they have is ** or ** right now.

How long till they go back to other methods?

[Cuse0323]

My deposit wasn't able to be processed at a certain book, now I'm suppose to find another way to send them the money after I lost it all.

My payment has been sitting in customs for days. Starting to get nervous.

WileOut,

you were correct that is exactly what I meant to ask.

I recently got a payout--xxxxx and it bounced. I talked to the book and they said it was a processor problem and they will take care of everything on Monday......

Matt, could you please PM me the name of the book and when you received the check..Thanks!

[mr.inpak]

can you list the banks the checks where drawn from

I recommend avoiding all types of check/instant deposit deposit and withdrawals. Can't trust the legitimacy of the funds. As Randy Moss once said, "Straight Cash Homie."

This is not true at all. I get 2K through ** every few weeks from BM, no problem. Sure there are fees but in my mind it's like leaving a good tip after an expensive meal - it comes with the territory.

Pros avoid fees wherever possible, they do not consider them a tip. It's hard enough to beat the vig, no reason to pay extra.

I stand by my statement.

This is especially true where Cris is concerned. A massage should come with those fees.

how long in customs?

[daneblazer]

how long in customs?

Working on 4 days. I don't know if this is normal or not. I emailed Bodog and they seem certain that it will be received by early next week. Easter is probably slowing shipping down too.
