    Everyone saying business as usual for Bookmaker, but...
    ...why are there no payouts reported in the payout thread for June? Multiples from 5Dimes, The Greek and other top rated books.

    I got one Friday. There was one hanging out there from before the things went down. I didn't like having to send them copy of bank statement to prove that that one didn't go through, but after I did that they put the money back in my account and sent me it again the quickest manner possible for free. Amount would qualify as above average for the average SBR poster withdrawal I would guess.

            sbr would have notified if anything serious had happened at bookmaker( financially speaking of player funds), more than money, it was a internet address change

                  I know of 3 different mid-5 figure payouts since the DOJ action. All were at the same speed as before.

                    I think part of the issue is that it's likely that the method used for large payouts is perhaps not taking as long as the methods used for smaller payouts (and most SBR posters are waiting for smaller payouts, myself included).

                      Justin7, what do you think of CRIS charging a fee for payouts that are advertised as free without notifying the customer first. Cashier's page has not yet been updated. I didn't mind so much at first but this is certainly not behavior of an A+ book.

                      Suddenly charging new fees? Business as usual?

                          It is reasonable to change rules... Their free processor went down.

                          But, if their cashier page says payouts are free (under certain circumstances), they should honor that. If they charge a fee that is unjustifiable by their rules and/or cashier page, it is a foul.

                              Went ahead and asked to be reimbursed the fee by CRIS and was told that they would not, even when I showed them where is says withdrawals up to $2500 are free on Mondays. I don't really mind because I have won so much there in the past. But it is still wrong as Justin7 agrees above. Is it a waste of time to file an official complaint over $30?
                              By the way, they said that they have someone working on updating the cashier's page.

                                Don't hold your breath, Bookmaker told me that almost 2 weeks ago when the fee/maximum for another method changed.

                                    I may be in the minority, but I do think people need to ease up on the books that just got nailed... they are probably going through a bit of an overhaul. At least they are still doing what they can..

                                      I've just about given up on posting the above sentiment. I'm beyond tired of reading "BM is going under" and "why are payouts taking longer than they used to?" posts.
