Sportsbook.com player owed $19,800 since October

A Sportsbook.com (ag) player writes SBR with a payment dispute. The player requested two withdrawals in October 2011 for $9,900 each. Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) recently updated their payment time-frame to six to eight weeks. The player points out that he has been waiting in excess of the posted time. On June 3rd, SBR reported that management would attempt to fast-track payment for a player also waiting longer than advertised.

Sportsbook.com moved their non-US players to Global.Sportsbook.com, an operation headquartered in Malta; one that is managed by YouWin Ltd. SBR reported on 28 September 2011 that players with pending wagers had their bets cancelled, an unethical decision that caused a great deal of criticism. Sportsbook.com later redacted its initial letter to players with a few conditions. Sportsbook.com's US operation is based in Costa Rica.

Sportsbook.com (ag) players with feedback or complaints are asked to submit a sportsbook complaint form,

You are one sharp dude

I just got a largish wire from them. It was quicker than expected, but there is several hundred dollars missing (looks like a currency conversion issue). I am going to contact them.

But they have been paying (not talking about 2007 stiff jobs obviously)...

My missing amount is about 0.45% which I think it is middle fee, but not sure.

I received a wire in November which was missing a small amount (about 0.67%). The wire I received this month was missing over 5%. They put the missing funds in my account, so I am happy.

Hopefully this player gets paid soon. I have little doubt he will get his money, but it shouldn't take so long.

does sportsbook.com have any connection to superbook.com?

Why are you playing there when other books will pay in 2-3 days (or less) and they state openly a 4-6 week timeframe?!

One of the reasons is that sportsbook.com is part of the Merge poker network which accepts U.S players, and has good traffic. By accepting U.S poker players, their payout processors are under attacked by the DOJ. So, it takes so long for payouts nowadays. I'm sure this is driving their U.S sportsbetting customers away.
