Bodog Update Regarding Neteller & Payouts

Stop'n'shop...not national- but NY and all of New England.

Both places asked for 2 forms of picture ID- did you experience the same thing?

I only lied about the SS# because the first place didn't ask for it. Figured I was safer not sharing it when I don't need to.

No the Cash N Go only wanted my Drivers License, they photo-copied my License.
I called ahead of time & they said that's the only form of ID they would require.

Are neteller payouts going through for non Americans? I cashed out a little bit over a day ago and it still shows as pending.

If this is what it's coming down to, we are all in trouble. You shouldn't have to leap through shady hoops to get your money - no one but us true diehards will put up with this. No wonder I travel 4 hrs to AC every weekend - softer games and when you win, they cash your chips with no hassle, no Western Union, no shadiness. Time to move.

As far as cashin out are you guys being charged any fees or was that just rumor? Are you guys that gave fake SS numbers ever planing on withdrawing this way again? Im not a big fan of giving out my ss number especially to some habib ready to give it to his cousin in constanople. But if I have to do this again in future I dont wanna be hassled. Thanks

Bodog is currently waiving the fees for Western Union right now which, apparently are pretty steep.

As far as I know, there was only ONE person to give out a fake SS#.
I don't like giving that # out either (which I did) but apparently it's required for transaction amounts over $2,000 in compliance with the law.

Got an email from customer service last night. Hope this helps.

So that you are aware, we are offering our clients one free Western Union payout per week. For any additional payouts, regular fees will apply. Based on our Western Union
withdrawal procedures, the maximum amount that can be picked-up from a Western Union location per day is $3000.00. Withdrawal requests under $1000.00 can be processed 7 days a week however; any request exceeding $1000.00 can only be processed Monday to Friday.

Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards,
Customer Service

I got my second WU instructions via email from Bodog.

I've called around and most WU outfits don't do amounts at $3K.
The only one that does in my area is the one I went to yesterday. I'm not sure I want to go there back to back days since it might throw up a red flag even though I'm doing nothing wrong. I don't want to get "flagged" in their system somehow. If that's even possible?

Maybe I'll wait a day or two then go back, or call around to nearby cities.

*For those who haven't read this entire thread, I'm not panicking & cashing out my entire roll from Bodog.

I just got caught with far to much in my BD account for the levels I play and wanted to take a nice chunk out. I was planning on doing so anyway when all this crap started happening.
I'm leaving enough in there to continue playing my mid stakes NL games comfortably.

Also, Bodogs phone support overall has been great with all thats gone on the past couple days.

Just returned from second Western Union Payout.

I went to a Wireless Store that offers WU services & they cut me out three checks in the amount of 1K.
The Western Union checks are apparently done through Wells Fargo.

Went very smoothly, they did require a SS# (not the card just the #), & Drivers license information.
For transactions of 3K & up they require a SS#.

I cashed out $500 through Bodog and Western Union today as well. Requested the cash on Thursday night, and received the info late Friday.

According to the sign at the Western Union, a cash out of $500 is costing Bodog about $43.

Felt a little strange receiving money from someone from the Philippines (that is who sent me the cash), but it seemed to go smoothly enough. The clerk did request my drivers license and mentioned something about needing the DL #. But she handed me the cash (in 20s) and that was it...took about 15 minutes.
