It makes me wonder, do you think those CSR jerk-offs are eating chicken wings and drinking beer while fielding our calls??? I think we just financed one of the biggest parties on the planet.

I'm really sorry to see you guys in such a mess. I assure you no one is feeling anything except sick to our collective stomachs.

The problem with sportsbook.com is they just dont care. While most books have worked hard to find solutions to the payment processing riddle its just not a priority with sportsbook.com's mgmt.

They have a long history of slow paying and they do it on purpose to discourage withdraws. Players will think twice before going through another painful withdraw process and will end up playing out their balance.

This time around the "Dont Care" block it seems serious but its just how this ownership thinks. They truly don't care. They have always paid their staff the lowest wages in Costa Rica.

We are trying to find out what the status, the real status, of their future processors are now.

I hope you get it soon and if you do, please let us all know. Of course, our check requests have all been "processed" for a long time, they just haven't been sent.

Thanks for the info Trun. There could be some proof in that. Some of these offshore banks are not really banks as we know them. Some only send wires. Players should keep informed and be ready to swith methods to whatever they get working.

Bank wires are instantaneous. Good banks will get an international wire to good customers in a matter of minutes.

Many banks hold them 2-3 days claiming they are international and keep the interest.

In any case, if you call your bank 24 hours after the wire was sent even if they hold it for a few days, they should be able to look and see that it is "incoming"

Sean,
Bank wires in the US take only a few minutes to an hour depending on a few variables. International wires take a couple of days because these banks are not in the US banking system and must rely on correspondance banks. There is also a time difference they contend with. If their bank is in Hong Kong thats a 12 hour time difference, for example.

TRUN · 03-14-2007, 02:25 PM

as of right now - nothing in my bank and they dont see anything -- i will keep you informed

Prodigy2k7 · 03-14-2007, 03:10 PM

So as a consensus, what does everyone think.

Is bank wire the way to go, i am debating big time right now.

akalinsk · 03-14-2007, 03:22 PM

I'll still stick with waiting for my check at least until someone posts that the wire went through. I don't like the "trial phase" explanation - last time I spoke with them they said checks will go out end of this week, I guess I'll wait until Friday or Monday.

Prodigy2k7 · 03-14-2007, 03:40 PM

Well I just spoke with a manager that seemed to want to help me. She informed me that checks will not be going out for another week. I reversed my money and am going to go for a bank wire.

I am taking a risk, but i need to do something.

teddy1224 · 03-14-2007, 03:43 PM

On SBR page they say that sportsbook.com has notified them that they have a new bank wire service. I am starting to debate but I am leaning towards the check still.

Well see. Its been a long time now!!!

I was just told they are processing bank wires daily and it would take 24-48 hours to process and 3 to 5 days to show up in my account. What is the SWIFT code? Is this the same as the Routing Number of a U.S. bank?

Prodigy2k7 · 03-14-2007, 05:25 PM

No its not

You have to call your bank and get the special code.

Bill Dozer · 03-14-2007, 05:30 PM

Right, it's used for international transactions.
