Default Re: BODOG STOLE MY WINNINGS!!!

Think of it from their perspective - if a scammer drops the $100, then BoDog is out $100. If a scammer earns $500 profit, then of course he'll make the $100 deposit available retroactively. And pretty darn quickly, too.

In your case, it was a simple mistake. But if BoDog let you get away with this, they'd have tons of folks submitting $100 deposits based on account numbers with subtle errors. It's just the reality of the situation.

Like I said, I made no attempt to try and cash out my winnings. I simply made an honest mistake and they should have honored my mistake after I gave them the information they requested which proved my account number was one digit short and not a bunch of randomly made up numbers.

Plus no one who was intentionally trying to scam them could ever cash out since their initial withdrawl would never clear.

They even state on their website that it is their sole discretion as to whether to return the funds which I interpet to mean that it is a case by case basis.

I played there in good faith and made the 100 withdrawl available to them the minute I found out about the error.

This is just bad business as who in their right mind would continue to patronize a site that wiped out your winnings?

Sorry but I am not a crook and should not be penalized for my innocent mistake of omitting the very last digit in an 11 digit account number.
