Bodog Update Regarding Neteller & Payouts

[I.Rowboat]

I did the WU method yesterday, and it seemed extremely sketchy to me (though successful). I had around $30k that I wanted to remove, so the thought of doing this 10 times seemed like it would raise the profile of my transactions to a level above my comfort zone. When I found out they now offered checks, i was happy to just request one. They assured me that my bank would cash it, and if my bank doesn't, well, I will take it up with Bodog. I don't know how much you need to withdraw, but to me, after having done the WU thing once, a check seems a whole lot cleaner. YMMV...

I requested a WU payout on 1/19 and have not heard anything...

hey thefish, you have to check your mail box through the bodog software. Click cashier and then click your messages. I was waiting around for an email and didnt get one then realized the information was there in my bodog cashier. It definitely is sketchy though, i went to a liquor store to cash mine and thought I was going to get robbed. There were guys in there scraping together pocket change to buy 40s so when they saw the cashier guy count out $2000 to me and give me a 1000 check, i thought for sure I was gonna get robbed.

So why go to a shady liquor store? Go to grocery store, drug store?

I had one WU payout go through but they sent it to my old address.. so since that's 10 states away they wouldn't give me the money, have been waiting on them to fix the error. Figured that might take awhile so I made another withdrawl, still waiting on that one too. Checking account balance $16.23... Funds in limbo $1500.. Seeing Peyton Manning lose in the superbowl.. Priceless.

FWIW I'd much rather use a check than western union, but it wasn't an option on my withdrawls.

Okay, I called Bodog about the "check by courier" thing. I expressed my concerns about cashing the check. A very helpful and friendly support agent told me they had a 3rd party issuing the checks, that it was a Canadian bank, and that there should be no problems cashing or clearing. I told him to go ahead and convert my cashout to this method. He said the payout would be approved/processed later today and that it would take 1-4 business days for the payment transfer to be completed and the check to be delivered. I'll post again when I see it.

Has anyone cashed one of there new checks yet?

Unlikely, since apparently they just started cutting them last night.

I think the check will clear but your bank is not going to give you the money the next day like a regular check. It will take a few days to clear or weeks if like the old Sportsbook.com checks.

Withdrew a good amount last night threw the check option, although i didn't do courier. They said expect it be delivered in 7-10 business days.

[rsigley]

do you think bodog will carve out the inside of the bible and stuff it with 100s and fedex that to my house?

seems like the safest way to get my money
