    Question for the forum about Bookmaker

    For the 2nd time in my last 4 withdrawal requests, Bookmaker sent me a check that bounced.

    My bank debited my account a $10 check return fee which I thought was more than reasonable.

    However, when I asked Bookmaker to cover the $10 fee charged by my bank, they REFUSED TO DO SO.

    I find this completely unacceptable as Bookmaker is 100% at fault here.

    What do you all think about this?

    Its not a matter of the $10 that bothers me but Bookmaker's refusal to pay for their own mistake.

    They should cover the fee in my opinion

    That's because Bookmaker is the next Enron of sports books. IMHO

    I'd be more concerned as to why the bad checks rather than the 10 buck fee.Haven't cashed out there in a long time but when I did,never had a problem.

    Next time try losing. Then you don't have to worry about making a withdrawal.

    I find it unnerving that more than one person has had a check bounce from bookmaker. Does anyone know why such a large operation would have a checks bounce?

    I am getting worried about Bookmaker. Recently, they changed the Credit deposit method. Good thing is that there's no minimum limit to deposit (was used to deposit $24 and up), but except no minimum limit, you have to fill out every information such as your home address, phone number, full name, and stuff stuff in order to deposit. Bookmaker didn't require player's info back then . I am worried that they might sell my info to third party or cops are investigating our stuff.. I don't know it just worries me..

    Put it this way, I just recently moved. I thought I was free and clear from all this gambling spam sent to my name, well low and behold out of all of my accounts, Bookmaker was the only account that I updated my new address with, and sure enough, I'm getting mail spam from various scam books especially BetUs !!!!
