Bodog Update Regarding Neteller & Payouts

[SirArthur]

Just got off the phone with Bodog Support.

In addition to no longer accepting Neteller deposits, they are no longer doing withdrawals through Neteller either.

Also, as of two hours ago, they are no longer sending out checks as he told me banks are not honoring them any more.

I found this hard to believe & questioned him on it twice & he kept telling me that's what the Finance department was telling him. I asked him jokingly if the check said BODOG on it or something, he said no.

I had to link my bank account directly through Bodog so they could process a wire transfer to my account.

Anyway, I hope this works, geez...

I hope this works. Bodog sounds like they are trying to run for the hills with our money? Please keep us updated on how this turns out..

[SirArthur]

I will let you know what happens, they said the wire transfer should take between 1-3 business days before it hits my checking account.

With things changing almost hourly, I'm a bit concerned as I've left much of my roll on Bodog.

I doubt they bought Betcorp and Bowman's US player base just to close down.

They are not leaving with our money.

This crazyness has to [censored] stop.

Bodog now says (through email & subsequent phone call) that they need verification of my bank account.
I just photographed some cancelled checks & my bank statement & sent it to them.

Why they didn't tell me this verification was needed before, when I was on the phone for 20 minutes with them requesting my cashout & giving them all my checking account information I'll never know.

I don't think Bodog is trying to screw anyone over. There's a lot going on here. People are withdrawing large sums all at once and information is changing by the hour.

SirArthur, are you pulling your whole roll out of Bodog?

I'm watching this thread with interest, as I have a sizeable chunk of my BR on Bodog. I wasn't planning on moving it (or at least not all of it), but if this is the only method to cashout I need to set up the EFT -> checking account mechanism, too.

Please update this thread as you get more info.

Thanks.

Edited to add: I am not panicking, as I don't expect Bodog to go away, but I'd rather be prepared...

Just got off the phone with them -- they said they were having a problem with their usual check-processing company (i.e., a completely different story than the one you were told), but also said that until it gets resolved, they were covering all Western Union transfer fees.
