    Betonline $15,000 withdrawal more than 4 months overdue
    I am posting to warn others, yet again, that betonline is either running low on funds or is entirely incompetent. My hope is that betonline is not low on funds and this post will provide them some incentive to get my problem resolved.

    I requested three $15,000 wire transfer withdrawals from December 2011 to February 2012. I received two of the payouts, but I still have not received a payout requested on 12/23/2011.

    Their phone customer service has stopped letting me talk to supervisors and the low-level phone agents have screamed at me “why do you keep calling us?!?!” I have not once called back sooner than I was promised a phone or email follow-up during the most recent call or email.

    I have exchanged more than 30 emails with their email customer service, and I have been hearing the same story for months (see below for examples).

    MESSAGE FROM MARCH 7 (Payment more than 2 months late)--- “This is Jay from Player Services at BetOnline. We have requested a trace for your wire payout again to our third party processor, it was done last Friday by our payouts manager, they have confirmed us that it could take approximately 7 business days to receive confirmation on regards this, we will be making sure to contact you as soon as we receive word from them on regards. Thank you very much for your patience.”

    MESSAGE FROM MAY 2 (Payment more than 4 months late) --- “This is Danny from Betonline Player Services. We have sent an email to our processor regarding the wire payout. We are investigating this situation. We will be back to you as soon as we have a report for this. Should you require further assistance or information, please contact us by replying to this email or initiating a Live Chat.”

      No, the money was removed from my account shortly after I made the withdrawal request.

      At one point I did ask if they could just cancel that withdrawal request and start again. They said no.

            They owe you 15k and they say "why do you keep calling us? If anyone has money with them I'd seriously consider getting it out.

              I filed a complaint with SBR on Wednesday, and I am very grateful for their help.

              I emailed Lou before posting. As of this morning, he had not received a reply from betonline.

                  Clues that the country may be a fourth world shithole:

                  Red flags for me are when the nation's president (el presidente) wears a military uniform and carries a sidearm.

                  And I try to avoid countries that allow the free movement and pecking of chickens in the Oval Office.

                  One more 'clue' that a country may not be up to snuff is if at the border crossings there are no electric gates, rather they rely on the 13 year old 'soldier' in the way to big for him uniform to push down on the short end of that zebra painted bar to allow the 1959 Packard to rumble through.

                  And please avoid ANY country where it is permissible to have your non running automobiles pulled by a horse or ox.

                        HedgeHog,

                        I'm glad that you got paid.

                        I did fill out a complaint on Wednesday of this past week. I will update this thread with any news.

                          I remember when betonline was a solid book. I know it's a lot different then it used to be, hopefully this is a reminder to people that there are only a few safe books left. I hope you get your money soon.

                              Exact same thing is happening to me, I have a 8000 wire transfer that was processed on February 29th and I have not gotten it. I keep getting the 3rd party processor and trace review bull as well. I have emailed and called over 30 times and cannot seem to get a straight answer

                                            This is the original poster. My withdrawal plus the fee was put back in my betonline account today too. Betonline says that they will re-try the wire transfer. This seems to be progress, at least compared to the run-around that I was getting the last few months. I will update this thread again if the funds arrive.

                                            I haven't heard anything from SBR, but if this happened because you contacted them I REALLY appreciate it.

                                                So they put the amount back into your BOL account. Aren' you wanting to get paid though? It's easy to change the numbers on the screen.

                                                  Correct but in all disputes involving botched payments, the funds are reissued so they can subsequently be sent through either the same or another method. Hopefully, there are no additional issues.

                                                      I only said that this was progress because before they repeatedly asked me to wait another week while they "traced" the payment, implying that I might have actually received it. Now they are owning up that I (and apparently this other guy) still need to be paid. The problem is definitely not resolved yet, but that change seems a little encouraging.

                                                          I agree it's a good sign that the money is back in your account. It confirms that they know you haven't been paid. Sad that BOL needs SBR's urging over and over again to pay clients what they're rightly owed. Makes you wonder how many people BOL has fukked over who never heard of SBR

                                                            Hi all

                                                            If you ever have a payout delay, please feel free to send us a PM with your account details and we will look into this for you.



                                                            We have been in touch with those in the thread, and this was an issue with a processor, and we are working on sending this through an alternative method. We understand how frustrating these payout issues are, but it is important to remember:


                                                            1. BetOnline always pays all withdrawal requests. Yes, as noted here there are sometimes issues and delays, but the money will always be resent.
                                                            2. Often in these cases we work with the Player to find alternative methods, but we work with them on this.
