    Betphoenix can take from 2-35 days, BetOnline takes 1-3 weeks some methods.

    If it takes longer than a couple days and they can't offer you an alternative method of payment, then its a slow pay

    I would consider a slow pay to be a payment time frame that exceeds the sportsbook's advertised payment time frame.

      Realistically it should NEVER take more than a week, but I agree that if you go in to a book that advertises up to 3 weeks etc. you can't really complain.

        I would totally agree with this, if the book advertise that for some method it can take 3-5 days and it takes that long, nothing you can complain about, another story is if they advertise that the payment will be in 1day or less and they takes longer.

          this is a very fair statement.. u basically get what u pay for.. read the rules and things before signing up.. most books clearly give a window of 10-15 business days on their pages to cover there ass.. if ur not willing to wait 15 biz which could be 25 regular days then u shouldnt play at any books besides betjamaica or one of the 24-48hr guys.

          with this being said I think a respectable time for a payout is 1 week or less.. anything above that (i dont consider stiffing/slow paying) but its below industry standards and u should be playing elsewhere if u need quicker payouts

              Agree 100%.

              Slow paying and paying slowly are two different things.

                If my Moneybookers account isn't funded within 24 hours, I'll file an SBR complaint.

                    so if a book has in small letters on there cashier page that all payout can take 25-30 business days, you would not count this as a slow pay. in my opinion 20+days to receive a check is a slow pay regardless of what it says on the website.

                    howeverif a book put in big letters on there homepage that it takes a month for withdrawls then i would have 0 complaint with taking that long (even though this is still a slow pay).

                    just my opinion

                      For me if a book is late more than 3 days via moneybookers is called a slow payment.

                        You're asking me if the font size of their withdrawal policies changes my answer? As long as it's listed in a reasonable spot (i.e. the cashier or rules page) and I can read it without a magnifying glass then I stand by my original answer.

                          Anything more than 60 minutes is unacceptable in today's age.

                          Unless you live in some wackjob country that makes it difficult for you to do what you want with your own money, that is.

                            2 different things but both are unacceptable no reason for a book to intentionally wait to send a check until 2 days prior to their max timeframe it is proven by many books that a fedex check can be delivered within 5 business days.

                            I have received checks from BetJamaica, 5dimes, Betonline, and carib all within the last 2 months and all have been delivered via fedex and all except for Betonline have been received in 3 days, BOL 3 weeks plus.

                                I guess it's what you've become accustomed to

                                Punters outside of the US expect and generally receive payment free of fees within 24 hours - over 48 hours isn't acceptable to most

                                  If BOL met their time frame, which you could/should have read about before you signed up, you have nothing to complain about. You may not find 15 business days acceptable and use that as a criteria for not choosing to use a book, perfectly understandable, but if they tell you that's the time frame ahead of time, it's on you, not them.

                                    problem is betonline exceeds there own timeframe from time to time. when your timeframe is managegable (almost all other books) and something gos wrong, you can handle it(2-3 days becomes a week). when you have an unreasonable timeline already and something gos wrong, then 3 weeks becomes a month and players get angry/nervous/frustrated.

                                      After 10 business days I will start sweating the payout.

                                      Thankfully it's never gotten to that point with any of the books I have played at.

                                        If a book exceeds their promised time frame, they're obviously in the wrong.

                                        As far as getting more upset when a book with a longer time frame is late than when a book with a shorter time frame does the same, while I understand the psychological and practical factors on the player's side, there really isn't much of a difference IMO. Again, it's your choice whether or not to play with a book that clearly states they have a long payout time frame.

                                          What is right and reality are 2 different things. Even though it takes 1 minute to send a moneybookers if the book has in the past said 2 weeks and it is under 2 weeks I accept that as the price of doing business.

                                            Exactly. So you either accept that "cost" or take your business elsewhere.
