Then they charged me the $20 for making more than one withdrawal a month. What a joke!! $20 to wait 4 to 6 weeks for my money.

I understand the frustration, but you aren't helping the problem. As stated in posts above, only so many checks can be processed per day. If you and others feel you have to withdrawl weekly, that's four times a month, creating the backlog, and pushing payouts back for everyone.

If everyone cashed out less frequently (but for larger amounts), perhaps everyone would be receiving their payments faster. This is why they're implementing the fee, not to profit off it, but to be able to provide faster service to everyone else.

And, Bodog, unlike FT has stated for awhile it was going to take a month (20 business days) to receive a check. You stated you got approved June 18th, nine business days ago and are screaming bloody murder because your money hasn't arrived yet.

It will come. Throwing a temper tantrum and creating a panic among other customers won't help things.

And, I would not fault you if you left for Stars due to their faster payments. That is a legitimate reason, and I too wish bodog were faster. I'm just saying that they have largely been upfront, and no one has not gotten paid yet.

Main differences between bodog and FT are that bodog answers the phones, give answers to the best of their knowledge, or if they don't know, say as much. They also don't deny when attempting to cash out that it likely will take a month.

The ideal poker site would have overlays and fishiness like bodog, traffic like Stars, and the customer service of the two combined.

I agree with you about Bodog's great customer service, but they were not up front about the cause of check delays. I could only get the truth after contacting Calvin. I'll admit I was spoiled on getting 3k a week free via WU. My anxiety is not stemming from my 6/18 payout. I made a check request 2/2, after 30 days of nothing, I received an email stating they had processor turnover and were going to EFT my payout to my checking account thru a new processor. I immediately contacted Bodog and just got a WU instead. My anxiety stems from this and just reading in many forums major issues with getting a check from Bodog. The bottom line is I love Bodog, but I really feel though they can do more to pay faster and are not. They make the majority of their money on sports and casino bets and don't payout much there. Poker and poker players are different. Payouts are our paychecks! Like I've said before, they can find processors to take my money fast, they should be able to do the same to pay me MY money. BTW, Bodog told me, its not the number of checks a day, its a set dollar amount a day,(supposively) that their processor will release. So actually, a big one time request is what slows the process more, that should not matter, I should be able to get a payout for whatever and whenever I want. If Pokerstars can do it, why can't Bodog?? I am doing is asking Bodog to step up to the plate. It's my f'n money anyway!! These forum's allow me to vent my frustrations and do effect change, because of this Bodog has changed their vague responses of "it's coming someday" to finally telling us about the processor issues, which they were never up front about. I am the customer! Not vice versa.
