Ultimate Bet Cashout

clive5 · #1 10-18-2007, 07:40 AM

I want to cash out all the money in my UB account ~$5000 as quickly as humanly possible. I'm looking for reccomendations on the quickest way. Is it better to have them wire me the money (is this even possible)?

I know UB has been really shady lately.....How likely is it i will have problems? Also, would it be better if i left a couple hundred bucks in my account?

Or should i have them send me a check.....

Anybody have an educated guess at how long it will take me to get my money.....I've never made a large cashout with them before....Will that be a problem?

Also, would it be better to leave a little money in the account....Maybe they won't give me as much trouble if they think i'm going to continue to be a customer?

I know that's lot's of questions....Thanks in advance for any help!

i cashed out of UB through Moneybookers. (had to make a small deposit first)

It was only $800 but it was in my MB account the next day

i cash out by check every other week (if i'm lucky). invariably, ub takes 2 days to process and 4 (business) days to mail it. and then bank of america takes 10 days to clear the funds.

Awesome, thanks! Do you have any idea why it takes BOA so long to clear the funds?

Bank of America customers may have to wait three to eight weeks, but that's not a given, says spokeswoman Gillian Breidenbach.

"We don't have a policy to automatically put a hold on foreign checks. It would depend on the size of the check and the customer's relationship with the bank. We put it through a scoring process and a hold is either recommended or not. If it's not recommended, we give the customer their money right away.

"If a hold is recommended, the collections department sends the check by mail to the issuing bank in the foreign country. If it's a "slow pay" country, we can tell the customer how long it will take, and it may take three to eight weeks. We're dependent on the responsiveness of the issuing bank."

My last UB check has been on hold for over 3 weeks now. Previous (identical) checks went thru very quickly.

how do you get a tracking number for fedex through UB?

pokerjedi · #7 10-18-2007, 01:40 PM

I usually cash out by check, and use the courier service (UB uses Fedex) so that I can track it.

It gets to me in like 2 days.

I usually cash out like 2k-3k.

don't worry your money safe. I am leaving my 6 grand there no problem.

UB is not going to close down or deny withdrawls, its not in the best interest of the company so don't panic [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Any new news on UB? I made a deposit (foolishly) on October 10th and have been trying for nearly 2 weeks to get a cashout. Here is the email log:

Any status updates on this? I tried withdrawing again and didnt even get an email, just the amount credited back to my account. I contacted the payment processor and received this message:

I am having a problem withdrawing money from a vendor because they said that my deposit from Oct 10 has not cleared yet. Can you please tell me when this will clear?
Thank you.

Dear Brad,

The transactions from October have gone through with no delays. We can see a deposit to Gator-pay of $300 on 10th of October which you then subsequently withdrew onward to Ultimate bet 2 minutes later.

If you have any further queries please contact us on
1 8667601861.

What is going on here? It has been nearly 45 days.

Hello,

Could you please let me know what the problem with the cashout is? What requirement needs to occur for this to happen? How long does this deposit take to clear, I made it a month ago.

We have received your withdrawal request, however, while reviewing your account we have verified that there is one deposit you made through PPTel which is still in pre-auth status, therefore, we have cancelled this withdrawal request until that deposit is cleared.

Anybody have a clue why this is taking so long? I spent a half hour on the phone with customer support and all they ended up telling me is that the deposit hasn't cleared yet. I'm no rocket scientist, but I'm pretty sure checks don't take a month and a half to clear. I used add-funds to deposit, and am trying to use epassporte to withdraw.
