BODOG payout Review

**Dkid** · 10-29-11, 02:35 AM

i requested my check on the 10th. received my tracking number today.
but i got my check on the 24th... wtf? oh well im still waiting to make sure the check doesnt bounce.
leave bodog asap though.

**southpaw74** · 10-29-11, 09:05 AM

My payout was approved on the 17th but no check or tracking number yet. They just tell me that it's been sent out and they no nothing else. Good luck to us I guess

I'm sure we will get it though...it's just slow. I am only going to do P2P from now on.

2 to 3 weeks from start to finish in most cases, which they need to say instead of 4-7 days.

Hey guys- So, I have read a lot of bodog (and other sportsbooks) about scary stories about not getting money, checks bouncing, on hold, etc etc. So I will document my payout and lets see how it goes. Here are the major checkpoints: 1) Time to process payout. 2) Time to receive payout (in my hand) 3) Time funds are available in my account (ie check cleared). Note: I am in good standing with Bodog and everytime I have talk to them never used profanity (nor will I ever) and I will just post impartially (or as impartial as I can). Thanks and I hope this helps others (as well as me). STEP 1 Requested payout Oct 16/17 via courier. Approved Oct 17. (so according to their website "once processed from your eCash account, a couriered check should arrive in approximately 4 - 7 business days. This delivery timeframe is only an estimate and may not reflect the actual date you receive your check.)." Called CS Oct 25 - spoke to CS...they said its been processed and should get it this week. Business day 6 Called CS Oct 28 - spoke to CS...they said its been processed. Still no tracking number. They said they will let me know when the they get the tracking number. I asked her what exactly processing means - they said fund are approved to be sent out. I asked if they have sent it out via courier yet - they didnt give me a straight answer, just when they get tracking number they will let me know via bodog account. Business day 9 I wish they had sent it within the 4-7 day avg, but they did say its an estimate...so no reason to get all flustered yet. I will chill this weekend and probably Monday and then follow up on Tuesday. I hope I at least have a tracking number by then. I will continue to post my progress. Any advice or input is welcome...but lets all try to keep this civil guys. This can only help us (those who use this sportsbook). And I am aware of BodogBecky but I want to see how they handle their business before I involve other people and SBR...plus i certainly hope it doesn't come to that.

UPDATE: Business Day 10. Still no word. No tracking number. Nothing. I will Call tomorrow.

Dkid: did you deposit your check and it cleared? thanks

**shooms79** · 11-01-11, 12:36 PM

UPDATE: Got a FedEx tracking number today (Nov 1). FedEx states that it should arrive tomorrow. Business Day 11

**neil1218** · 11-01-11, 12:36 PM

Shooms I am worried too! My payout was approved on the same day! Oct 17 and still no word. Its been over 2 weeks now! This is my first time using bodog.

**neil1218** · 11-01-11, 12:38 PM

Im glad to hear that. Did you have to call them for the tracking number? Or did you get it in a email? How many days are they saying now? If you called what is the number? Thanks!!!

**neil1218** · 11-01-11, 12:39 PM

Sorry I just saw you said tomorrow

**southpaw74** · 11-01-11, 05:08 PM

I got my tracking number today and should arrive tomorrow. The 13th business day.

UPDATE:
STEP 2 -
Received Check today. Business day 12. Check is written from an in state place, so I was pleasantly surprised. I deposited today in my bank (a major bank) and had no problem. They said funds will be available by midnight. stay tuned....

**caseyman011** · 11-02-11, 09:04 PM

My bank wouldn't allow me to deposit the check. I opened an account with another bank, who is holding the funds for 7-10 business days. Let me know how your deposit went.

**PickCityz** · 11-02-11, 10:52 PM

I requested mine 10/23/2011. Business Day 8. Hopefully, my payout takes the same amount of time as yours. Keep us updated!

**neil1218** · 11-03-11, 12:43 AM

How do you get a tracking number? Do you have to call them?

It will be uploaded to your account once it become available, but I encourage you to give CS a call if you have any questions at all about this process, they will be happy to help!

**caseyman011** · 11-03-11, 02:07 PM

I just received a payout check two days ago from my original request on 10/16. I attempted to deposit it in a new account, since my normal in-town bank would not touch the check, and I received a call just minutes ago stating that the check has been labeled as 'counterfeit' and likely will be rejected. I will keep this thread posted, as well.

Step 3 - Business day 13 - Check cleared. I havent gotten a call from the man, so I dont anticipate any problems. Check cleared that night.

Note: I dont advocate or bash Bodog. The purpose of this thread was just to document a payout. Most people are concerned about the procedure so I documented my experience. As always, do your research when depositing in a sportsbook. I also recommend being calm and collected when going through any procedure. The minute you get upset or offensive, chances of you getting what you want (or entitled to) drop. Of course with money involved, people get more emotional. Just my thoughts.

Neil1218: They provided me with a tracking number on the message link in my account.

**neil1218** · 11-06-11, 08:51 AM

I got my tracking number 3days ago. The check is coming from singapore. Is this normal?

Hey BodogBecky,

What do you have to say for your site giving out checks bouncing and being labeled as Counterfeit??? Caseyman needs some answers on this. Dont be shy

**davidchong** · 11-06-11, 11:39 PM

Counterfeit?, WOW ....

**rasetsu99** · 11-07-11, 12:02 AM

Here is my advice to you guys using Bodog. When you get your check, go to the bank that issued it and cash it. If you deposit it, make sure you leave the funds in your account for at least 2 weeks, because chances are 2 weeks later it will be returned by your bank. I receive a check from Bodog almost every week. I'm a "VIP" player with them, they don't charge me anything for payouts, and that's why I do it weekly. Plus at this point in time, i don't trust them with my money so I cash at the max possible each week. But as of lately, the only way I can assure I receive the funds is to actually cash the check and have funds in hand

Unfortunately with the US laws there are some issues with payments at times, however I can assure you that you will always receive your payout from which ever bodog brand licensee you are playing.

Also, FYI, I asked a Senior CS Manager to contact Caseyman and they are in close touch getting this issue resolved.

Thanks,
Becky

**southpaw74** · 11-07-11, 07:54 AM

I received my check on business day 13. I live in Minnesota but it was from Florida. Took it to a check cashing place and they cashed it for a 3% fee. They accepted it. Received 1,500 - 3% fee from check cashing place so I wouldn't have to deal with my bank. I'm only doing p2p from now on.

**rynop123** · 11-07-11, 08:06 AM

I requested a check for just under 1900 today....Was approved within a hour...Will keep everyone updated on how long to receive check

My 10/21 payout from Bookmaker was also a check from Singapore. Deposited it on 10/21, and told by my bank it's fraudulent, and will probably be returned. $3000 up in the air right now. Frustrating.

I'm dealing with the exact same issue with a check from bookmaker. Are you still waiting? Do they have the check?

**thetrinity** · 11-08-11, 11:36 AM

gosh wat a mess got mid 4 figures there right now, i rarely let it get that high these days. p2p and pay the ridiculous fee might be the way to go. i sure as hell dont want a check and want to wait 2 weeks n have it bounce.

**Quarius** · 11-08-11, 11:43 AM

Bodog is safe..

**lmcjmat** · 11-12-13, 08:54 AM

Here's an update from Nov 2013

Here are the major checkpoints:
1) Time to process payout.
Nov 5th 2013: Requested payout
Nov 7th 2013: Payout processed, Please note that it may take an average of 7 business days before you receive your payment.
2) Time to receive payout (in my hand)
Nov 11th 2013: Received check via Fedex
3) Time funds are available in my account (ie check cleared).
Nov 12th 2013: Deposited check in my account (Check looked legit from Royal Bank of Canada)

Good to hear I am getting worried about mine.

They are one of the most trusted books out there. Why is this even here?
