What happened to the Bubba/Bodog non-payment thread??

[Chambers99]

Does anyone know if this is resolved?? I ask because I am in the same exact situation that Bubba was in. I'm a NY resident, am a VIP customer and have been given 0 current withdrawal options. Bubba, can you please comment if/how this was resolved? Thank you.

Wow, that's shocking. Maybe Becky or an SBR admin can comment on why it was deleted? I get the feeling that your story is legitimate because I am facing an almost identical situation as yours and don't know how to go about proceeding.

i dont think bodog/sbr would argue that it is not legitimate. that facts are pretty clear. i was not accused of lying, just a few differences of opinion in the thread. i cant imagine the reason the thread was deleted.

for the record, i filed a complaint on the issue about a week ago and sbr hasnt helped me (yet). i have heard from lou but no assistance(that i have seen) yet.

The thread was removed because despite multiple requests throughout the Sportsbook forum that payment processing methods for specific books not be posted, every 2nd post contained them in that thread - even after we'd edit previous posts and include a reason as to why.

You are welcome to discuss any issues with any sportsbook but you cannot mention specific processing methods for Bodog or any other book. If you are unsure as to why it's important that this information be kept off of the forum, please feel free to contact me via PM.

I'm willing to abide by that and I agree that payment processing methods should be left for pm's. But the question that remains is that Bodog takes a lot of pride in stating that they have never missed a payout. In all my years there, I have had more than my share of problems with them but they have ultimately always paid. I expect that they will ultimately pay Bubba and myself but I am not as certain as I once was. They don't seem to be looking for solutions or want to solve these 2 problems and they are at the VIP level. I am not looking to hurt their business by posting and would like to post a positive result but they have not presented any reasonable options to me.

Of course you're allowed to say that bubba

And you're more than welcome to continue updating everyone on your case either in this thread or by creating another one if you wish. I just ask that everyone abide by the rule of not posting specific processing methods.

If you feel you're getting nowhere with your situation, the best thing I can suggest is filing a complaint form out with SBR so it can be looked into. I've never played with bodog but from everything I've read on the forums and heard from people privately, their ability and willingness to payout has never been an issue.

Bodog Becky has gotten to you! I kid I kid. I actually use Bodog as one of my outs and they've always treated me well.

NO ONE GETS TO SHARI91

In all seriousness though, I've spent a good chunk of my SBR time during the past 5-6 months reading threads - old and new - in the Sportsbook forum just so I could get a better grasp of the industry as a whole, as well as specific books. And the posts/threads about Bodog usually dealt with an aspect of the book not related to payouts.

How many times do we gotta tell u bubba, u know how and what to do in order to get your $. Dont blame bdog due u recall the stars and tilt bust, well guess where the doj for that bust was, omg NY. And guess why bdog stop processing certain stuff to NY, i think u can figure out the rest. Bdog is good and always has been your just to lazy to mold to the ways or until things cool off.

If that's the case, they shouldn't be accepting deposits from NY residents in the current climate if they can't pay them out.

and all they have to do is 1 of the many many options i have presented. they have given me an unfair "take it or leave it" offer. being forced to depsoit in order to withdraw is unfair period.

or at least put up a warning!

dont be fooled, bodog is not paying me in an attempt to protect themselves, not to protect me. i have given them many options that should work for both parties, they are being unreasonable here.

[BodogBecky]

Just to update this thread in particular, I’ve been in touch with the Managers involved and although I’m still unable to comment on the details of this situation, I can assure you that bodog is doing all they can to assist this player in receiving his funds. Considering the situation, bodog is asking for some flexibility on the player’s end to facilitate the transaction as the options available to him are limited.

Thank you,
Becky

Unfortunately, Bubba is not the only one dealing with this situation and I am sure that there are many others. I don't see the flexibility, at all, that Becky is referring to. The honest truth is that I would like to continue playing there, as there are many positive features about Bodog but how can anyone in their right mind deposit at Bodog if they can remove their withdrawal options for a player at any time that they wish, without providing a viable alternative for them?

im willing to be flexible and have offered many options to bdog. as of now i have been provided with basically 1 take it or leave it option from bodog (which involves me depositing more $ with them). im being flexible here, bodog is not.

Sounds to me like your too broke to deposit 50 dollars using a CC or a bank account. Pretty pathetic IMO.. Not the books fault that you are gambling when you obviously financially should not be.

[blix177]

If only they spend 10% as much effort as taking fund, we would never have a problem with non payments.

if this were the case, then i dont deserve my payout because im too broke? if players really need money, then lets not give it to them! genious point.

reminds me of this lois ck clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjqy2lJ5yoU

brian- have you ever been forced to deposit at a book where you have a 4 figure balance?

[Igetp2s]

I don't understand what the problem is with sending a check to NY state as opposed to any other state. Can't any AG freeze funds in any other state? What difference does a player's location make?

I like the fact that Bodog is being cautious with states like Washington and New York.

im just not sure what the state of new york has to do with anything. i understand the state of washington has passed laws against internet gambling.

what has happened in NY? i understand there is the indictment of the poker companies. and the court is in NY? but isnt this a federal issue, not a state issue? if anyone knows, please enlighten me.

[NobodyUKnow]

YES...everyone should have to make a new deposit in order to get paid money already owed! Makes perfect sense...go incompetent sportsbooks who try to outwit the US and hurray for the players who support them

[Chambers99]

I have made every attempt imaginable to rectify this situation with Bodog. I posted here in hopes of receiving some help. I contacted Bodog Becky and she did absolutely nothing. I am in contact with the CS manager in the VIP department of Bodog and he could not help me. I feel like I've tried all avenues and that my high 4 figure balance is stuck at Bodog with no way out. After going through all of the channels, I filled out an SBR complaint form this morning. I am hopeful that they can provide some assistance to me.

What else can I do?

[mikeyg]

Bodog is a shitty book plain and simple. They screw people over again and again and just act stupid when you aske them questions.

All the way from the top the are nothing but scammers and crooks.

If you play there you are taking a huge risk

[Chambers99]

Bodog continues to absolutely refuse to pay out my high 4 figure balance. I have 0 withdrawal options. I've made a formal SBR complaint and have been in continued contact with the Bodog VIP department but it seems like they simply refuse to pay for no other reason than they claim to have no option to pay me out, in spite of having many resources in which to pay me. Bodog Becky provided absolutely no help. In fact, she didn't even contact Bodog on my behalf, as per her PM to me.

To clarify, I have been in constant touch with SBR and senior CS managers and the head of finance- at least 3 times a day for the past week, including over the weekend- about your payout situation and Bubba's. Also, bodog is not telling you that you have zero options, the issue is that you don't like the options available which I know is frustrating.

Our PMs confirmed that you were already in touch with a VIP manager which is what I would have been happy to facilitate if you had not been in touch already- this manager should continue to be your main point of contact at bodog. VIP Managers, CS Managers, Finance and I all work together behind the scenes and I am simply the messenger between this group and all of you.

If you don't believe me, ask SBR and they will confirm that we (including me) are all doing our best to get you paid ASAP, but it will require some flexibility and working with bodog on your part to make it happen as quickly as possible.

Thanks,
Becky

i find bodogs take on this situation to be unacceptable.

does sbr have a take on this? its been 2 weeks since i filed my complaint. is it acceptable for a sportsbook to tell a customer that they must make a deposit(not an easy deposit for me to make) in order to withdraw their remaining balance?

becky- there are not options available. there is 1 take it or leave it option from bodog that involves me depositing funds. i am UNABLE to deposit funds into bodog at this time. therefore i am unable to recieve a payout. bodog has to be flexible here. if my state is a problem, there is no reason you cannot pay a family member of mine in another state. there is no reason you cannot be creative and find a way to pay me my funds. unacceptable.

[SportSharpener]

Wait...bubba has under 50$ in his account? LOL

Let's be real: why are you gambling if you can't support a 50$ bankroll?

I haven't been on sbr long but so many of these complaints about sportsbooks are silly.

Such a huge stink being made during one of the toughest times for us bettors to withdraw regarding a 2 figure sum.

Becky,

You simply told me via PM that I was already in contact with the individual at Bodog that I needed to talk to and that there was nothing else that you could do. You gave me no indication that you were doing anything additional on my behalf. It's nice to learn that you have made attempts on mine and Bubba's behalf. Have you been able to come up with a solution to the problem with them? If so, I would really like to hear what that would be. I can't imagine that there are no reasonable solutions here.

You are clearly manipulating the truth in regards to your claim that I am being given withdrawal options. I did receive 2 options. One happens to be illegal, so, no thanks to that one. The other option required having to deposit more money through another method, go through another detailed screening process, expose myself some more to an additional third party with all kinds of personal financial information and then if I were able to get past that, I'd have to wait an additional 30 days to possibly make a withdrawal. That is not a viable option. Nobody in their right mind would deposit even more money on a site that cannot find a way to pay them out. Bodog offered me no guarantees that this option would even work.

What confuses me is that I deposited on Bodog 2 weeks ago through a method that continues to be viable today (so as not to confuse people with a recently shut down method). They wholeheartedly accepted my deposit via this method and then decided to take it away from me as a withdrawal option AFTER I made the deposit.

This morning, after being very patient and silent for many days while giving Bodog a fair opportunity to find a way to pay me, I was told by the VIP CS manager that "we do not see a change in your current payout options in the near future." Those were his exact words. Is that supposed to make me feel optimistic or confident that I will be paid?

[jesuseatsnubs]

I urge you both to file a complaint with SBR .. to get your money back ASAP !

whatever happens though .. never ever deposit another penny into Bodog .

good luck u guys
