Bodog payout

[lonn19]

So I requested a payout via check by mail, then they emailed me saying they will transfer the money to my checking account in 7-10 days. It has been more than 10 days so I emailed them. In the email they said that I will receive the money in my checking account this week or next week. But later in the email, they say that due to U.S. legislation, they cannout use U.S. checking accounts for deposits and withdrawals. Doesn't this contradict themselves? See the email below.

We appreciate your patience during this very busy time. As you can imagine, we
are
experiencing far greater than normal volumes with payouts. As a result, some
payouts
have been delayed. We can see that your payout was approved and processed to
your
bank account on Tuesday February 20, 2007. Rest assured that your funds are
safe and
we anticipate that you should be receiving your payout sometime this week or
early
next week. Please note the credit will show on your bank statement as “VAT”.
Although, we cannot guarantee an exact date, we can guarantee that you will
receive
your funds.

Although this is still an interim solution, we are working to find something
more permanent.

Due to the legislative laws that were passed on January 17th, we are restricted
from
using U.S. bank accounts as a deposit or withdrawal option at this time.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for this delay. We know how important
quick and
easy payouts are to our players, and we are doing everything in our power to
make sure
your money is returned to you as quickly as possible. Please be assured that
we've
taken the necessary steps to correct this problem and make sure it does not
happen
again.

Again, we apologize for this delay and appreciate your patience.

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

Best Regards,
Customer Service

Definitely go the WU route.. I requested 3k yesterday and they sent me the reference # to pick up the money in ~24 hours.

[lonn19]

So after about 24 hours you could just go to any Western Union and pick up the money?

[likewhoaa]

Yup.. they will either pay you in cash if they can cover the WU transfer or issue a check(or a combination of both).

I did the WU thing too yesterday, and got all of the info today. Now apparently, we're not supposed to tell them why they sent this money, and we are only supposed to say we are friends with "alfonzo cortez" or whoever the [censored] sent our check. I hope they don't make us sign a legal aggreement that says this isn't from a gambling site or some [censored].
