Todd, you're still rambling out of your ass. You're whole premise is that delay was caused by funds but you don't know shit and neither do I.

The only facts are 1) repeated lies by MB (on a variety of issues) 2) slowpay. WHY IS EVERY OTHER COMPANY ABLE TO PAY PEOPLE?!?!

**MatchbookMike** · 06-17-11, 08:33 AM

As the NBA and NHL seasons are now complete, Matchbook will start making a final payout to all US players with future wagers.

If you are one of the users, please make a withdrawal request and your payment will be processed immediately.

Warm Regards

Mike,

How can MB make these payouts? I thought this had been turned over to the "Antiguan Regulators"??!??!

**Monte** · 06-17-11, 01:19 PM

Just give it a break Thremp, you acting as if they would be a 2nd Wsex already...boring

**Thremp** · 06-17-11, 01:25 PM

Why do you care? You have something against truth?

Thremp, The Antiguan Solicitors who escrowed the funds on our behalf, have sent the funds to payment processors who are in the process of paying out expired future wagers on Matchbook's behalf.

**durito** · 06-17-11, 01:48 PM

What about people that didn't have future wagers that are still waiting to be paid?

Could you provide the name of the company that is holding player's money hostage? I would assume that MB has authorized the withdrawals and it is the SOLICITORS who're holding player's money ransom. I would also assume MB would like to reveal these thieves to the world.

Thanks.

There are 10 people who have had problems with the credit/DC paybacks that now have cheques on the way and probably have already received them.

There are 5 people from NY state where we have had incredible difficulty sending wires post April 15th 'black Friday'. We have now found a solution.

All future bet payments are being sent out now as the seasons just finished.

As I mentioned numerous times Matchbook is very well funded. If we didn't run into complications with our payment processors, post April 15th 'Black Friday', these payments would have been completed over a month ago.

Cheers

These solicitors were asked to hold the amount due to the players from future bets. Upon completion of the NHL and NBA season they returned the funds to the payment processors which are now in the process of sending funds on to the players. This is the service they provided for Matchbook.

I am happy to answer and legitimate questions or concerns.

Unrelated question. I know access to Matchbook from the US was blocked a couple of months ago. I am now able to view the lines/markets. Any reason for this change?

We now block Ip's upon registration, or during the bet process, as opposed to when they try to visit the site.

Cheers

**Thremp** · 06-17-11, 05:07 PM

So MB is slowpaying non futures and the solictors are slowpaying the futures?

perhaps you should inform Bodog of your solution so as others don't have to suffer Chambers' sorry fate

I wanted to post that MB contacted me today via email. 3 of my futures bets are now settled, and MB informed me that they will be sending me the proceeds (I am US based). Not sure the timing, but I do like the fact they were proactive and reached out to me on this.

Figure out 20-25 days. Thats what mine took via DHL overnight. lol

Thats very odd to read.

I received an Email from MB a while back saying that the funds were not being transfered to any regulators and were being held by Matchbook.

I fully recall posting a message about how happy I was when i received that notice from Matchbook.

This departure from the US market was a new story everyday.

**clarkacal** · 06-17-11, 08:00 PM

Matchbook Mike come on back into the US market, everything should be ok.

please don't !!!

that would be the signal for me to bail out

**TheMoneyShot** · 06-17-11, 09:11 PM

I'd welcome Matchbook back.... I enjoyed doing business with them. I'm so sick of our govt. F'ing up everything!!! Can't do anything right!! Bunch of white collar trolls.

Knowing that they have no funds - I wouldnt put mine there for a long time. And say what you want about me not knowing they have no money, blah blah.. It doesnt take 100 days to pay players. Bank wires not being accepted in NY is a lame excuse when you claim to have been sending checks. So why havent these people been paid by check?

The contradictions from the new management have been funny. Funniest part is the people still touting them just dont sit there and think about it.

I honestly would have never thought about them not having any money if I was still playing there. But taking so long to pay people. A wire takes 72 hours, max.

**jahpoker** · 06-25-11, 01:48 AM

Received my dhl package today...hope it clears

**JohnnyRotten** · 06-25-11, 02:44 AM

matchbook have always paid me quickly, and to be honest i think they are the best in the business

So when do the new currencies come Mike, that is still my biggest issue.

don't be silly noyb, Todd's a know-it-all, everyone else is a liar

**Thremp** · 06-26-11, 08:28 AM

Welp, we "know" they aren't paying out players using the WSEX excuse of "processor" issues. Despite thousands of player's receiving payouts via the same methods. Before they blamed Antiguan "regulators", then they changed the terminology to "solicitors", but they refuse to release who these people actually are. So... No one actually knows who or wtf is going out. New management has no prior history other than this 3+ month slowpay of players.

What else do we "know"?

**todd73nj** · 06-26-11, 11:16 AM

Then you explain to me - if they had cash - why did they slow pay over 90 days?

I don't recall them ever blaming Antiguan regulators or the solicitors.

Is this something you "know" or just another lie ?

Where's the link to it ?

**Thremp** · 06-26-11, 07:12 PM

I find it funny you continually expect me to use my non-existent search tool to educate you, yet whenever I ask you for proof of anything you sit on your hands (contact J7 who I'm banned from PMing, cite UK gaming regulations, etc).

I suggest reviewing the MB threads. The information is there the ranting about not being able to facilitate gambling in the US or whatever nonsense was propounded.

As I thought, you can't because there is no evidence of any such blame being cited by MB anywhere, so instead you just ramble on with irrelevancies.

**Thremp** · 06-26-11, 08:16 PM

So... They're just slowpaying because they have no money? I'm unsure what you're arguing now.

**austin** · 06-26-11, 08:32 PM

payout received within few hours via moneybookers 2500. excellent service. ignore the ideots who want to think they know anything about mb

yes, of course, I forgot your problems with comprehension ....

quite simply it is your inability to demonstrate the truth of this statement you made a couple of posts back:

"..... they blamed Antiguan "regulators", then they changed the terminology to "solicitors"....."

**chance** · 06-26-11, 08:39 PM

It would be great if they could get it together. I liked the small SBR interview. Absolutely Zero being traded live on the Sundany night baseball game.

hardly a surprise really

Europe is asleep at this hour

they really need to get more currencies before we can expect to see real growth - you can't blame the rest of the world for not wanting to put their money into USD
