Bodog payout directly to US bank account?

[likewhoaa]

I got an email maybe yesterday or the day before, stating they were backed up w/ payout requests so to help speed along my transaction they had a "temporary method" to deposit my payout directly to my bank account. Called them up to ask and they said yes its only temporary would show up as "VAT" and would be in my bank account within 4-5 biz days.

He then went on to say they will have a permanent way to payout to banks within the next 2 weeks.

Post the email.. I cashed out 2 days ago.. got my western union today. Bodog has 2 cashout methods right now... Check by Priority Post and Western Union.

The check looks great! should be mailed within 17-20 business days LOL

lol so they changed your payout method without your approval? That doesn't sound right. They don't have my bank account info though.. wish they'd put that stuff up for everyone if it's available

[fusting4321]

Well, i guess they figure why would i mind?

I deposited with InstantEchecks, so they had my info. Probably why they did it for me and not you.

Im guessing they cannot use it full time, got a huge rush of cashouts and used it as a reserve to speed things up. Probably why it comes through as "VET", im guessing no one but them knows what the money is for

[fusting4321]
