    Do they still have GP as a payout option?

    No GP as of now option taken out. Reg mail sucks waist of time for only up to 3k.

    That's a little bit longer than before. I still remember that I requested several check via regular mail. All of them took less than 3 weeks.

    My last regular mail check (received last month) took 3-4 weeks (right in the 15-20 business days that they state). I'm currently waiting on two more, requested 1/24 and 1/31 respectively, will post when I receive them in the payout thread like I always do and here if I remember.

    This certainly isn't optimal, but if they continue to come in 3-4 weeks for such a low fee (yes, free would be better, at least one per month), I can live with that. Everyone has their own priorities as far as what's important though, so if you find 3-4 weeks unacceptable, I can certainly understand.

    The only way I withdraw from Matchbook is via the Greek. 15 minutes to transfer. Then I play with the money for a few weeks and withdraw in one day.

    I do this once every 6-24 months and give the Greek plenty of action so never been a problem.

    They are paying - maybe it takes a month - but thats better than all the books that arent paying. So not sure tghere is really a need for all the moving money to get it a week or so quicker.

    Postmarked 1/6 or somebody said it was Processed on 1/6 ?

    Once the stuff actually gets into the mailstream it should be moving along. Was it sent on a sailboat from Curacao or wherever ? I doubt it was mailed on 1/6

    Legions, I think he wanted to Withdraw his money. B2B is not a withdrawal. Its a movement of money. Then maybe you have a fee or a rollover. Im assuming he wanted his money in his hands

    So B2B transfer and request a payout after a mere 4x rollover.........seriously, how hard can this be to comprehend and more importantly, accomplish???????

    It's not like these books doing B2B are of the BetRoyal, BetPhoenix, or Sportsbook.com variety........they are A+ operations.

    fishhead- this is a huge annoyance. i do it all the time but to say that it is easily accomplished is bogus. if u have 5k in matchbook and want to withdraw it, transfer to thegreek and you have to put in 20k in wagers! if you are a 100-200 dollar bettor this may take quite a while (week- months depending on the player and season). then greek sends u a check in 2 days but you are back to being slowpayed. obviously the numbers vary. it is sadly the best withdrawl option but it is far far far from ideal.

    Would you guys say to just transfer the balance to thegreek, betjamaica , 5dimes right now? If it does close, i'm guessing check is going to be the only way for them to cashout?

    The rumours are false. Whats new? Matchbook not going anywhere. Can't wait for MLB.

    20 business days for a 3k check. $9 charge. Request a check everyday until you reach your desired withdraw. Its the best option presently.

    I would not do a b2b transfer and then have to roll it over, and then pay $30-$50 for courier check.

    I see some issues with your ease of this method.

    Someone cant wait 3-4 weeks for their check - so now they are going to have to move the money and roll it over 4 times?

    Not sure a 4x rollover is easily accomplished for everyone. Although many claim to be consistent winners, if everyone won at a 70% rate - not sure any books would be in business.

    The best method of withdrawal is as Chuck said - $9, 20 days (maybe 30) from what people are saying - and you have your check. B2B is not a withdrawal if you need to continue betting the funds you want sent to you.

    But honestly, If someone is that hard up for the money that you cant wait 20-30 days for the check, probably the best thing you could do is stop gambling.

    They are just not in the same class as THEGREEK, BOOKMAKER, or 5DIMES.................these are all A books.........BetPhoenix is only a B rated book at tops.

    Just think of having all of these accounts as 1 big solid account that all work together, and then u will think of it in a different way.

    I requested a check on 1/16. I recieved it today. I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting it to take another week.

    I have some checks in the pipeline, so we'll see how it goes.

    I received two checks today. One was processed Jan 27th, the other on the 28th. I probably requested them the 26/27.

    But if you are talking about a guy desperate to get a few hundred bucks in 3 weeks instead of 4 - I doubt he has all these accounts working together. He is prob small time. Of course you can arb your way to a rollover easily. Thats what Id do. But from reading the initial questions and then comments.. doesnt seem like he was set up that way to me. I could be dead wrong though.
