New Bodog Payout Option - NuCharge

[SHnewbie]

Bodog has added another payout method to the site, NuChage. NuCharge has been a deposit option for a while, but is now listed as a payout method. I believe you buy phone time and can cashout phone time credit on Nucharge. Anyone have any more information on this new method? I have sent an email to Bodog, but would love to hear everyone's experience with it.

Do a search on these forums, but if memory serves, there were all kinds of threads about how shady an operation NuCharge seemed (for deposits, at least). Several reports of poor CS and funds not showing up where they were supposed to.
That was 6 mos. ago though so things may have changed. Guess we'll see in the coming weeks...

well i just got this email back from bodog when i asked about nucharge

Dear Mr. [censored] GUINEA PIG

Thank you for contacting Bodog Customer Service.

Effective July 6/2007 we have been able to establish NUcharge as a
payout option. Please note, as NUcharge has been your sole deposit
option since NETeller ended its relationship with US customers, any
payout request must now be sent through NUcharge.

We expect that the new NUcharge payout option will be more expedient
then the current Check by Mail/Courier payout time frames.

• The maximum amount that can be paid out per transaction is $2,500.
There is no limit on how much a client can request in a single payout or
have processed in a day/week/month. As with all payouts, clients are
permitted one free per month, with additional requests costing $20.

• Once a payout has been credited to the client’s NUcharge account, they
can withdraw the funds via Direct Deposit (like DBT), Bank Wire or by
using their NUcharge Cirrus/Maestro Phone Card.

For exact details on receiving your funds from NUcharge, please contact
them directly. We have provided their contact information below:

NUcharge customer service: 1-866-760-1861
Email: support@NUcharge.com

Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards,
Customer Service

From the looks of the NUCharge web page it looks like you get a phone card that has Maestro and Cirrus written on it. Is Cirrus part of the ATM network? Could you take the card to an ATM and cashout your balance?

[CanIPlayII]

Cirrus is part of the Mastercard network. There are 10 within 2 miles of my house that would be awesome. 1 free then $20 for a month is MEH then card fees. Say they have a $500 max withdrawal, $2.50 per withdrawal, $45 to get $5000 a month out. Sounds Good!!
I miss WU!!!!!

They don't, Bodog will transfer your payout to your Nucharge account, you then must request an ACH payout through Nucharge which to my knowledge has never been done by anyone here yet. Rumor has it, it could take 30 days for Nucharge to ACH the money into your checking acct. So anyone that get's this whole process successfully completed into their checking account please post how long it took. I hear Nucharge sucks for customer service and payouts. Guess we'll all find out soon.

This isn't available for US players is it?

Yes it now is, and Bodog is saying if you have deposited via Nucharge then that's who they are processing your payout through. I hope Nucharge comes through with fast ach's. As I said before that remains to be seen.
