Bodog - good news / bad news

knicknut · 02-27-2007, 07:06 PM

Just received an e-mail from Bodog:

>>>>>
We can see you requested this payout to be sent via check by courier, however due to unforeseen circumstances, check by courier is no longer an option for us. In hopes of you receiving the funds the quickest way available we would like to send it to you via Western Union. Of course we will cover all the fees associated with sending the payout. Please reply to this email within 24 hours to confirm the change if we do not hear from you we will proceed with your payout via check by mail as originally requested.
>>>>

Good news: going to get money by faster method and not have to wait for mail.
Bad news: they told 3 times over a week ago that they had already mailed it and would send me a tracking number soon, which means they were lying the whole time.

Unless you already have money there it's not worth playing at bodog with such a long wait for payouts.

I sent them:
>>>
I appreciate I'm getting my money finally, but why have you outright lied to me the past two weeks, telling me my payment was already sent out and on its way to me via mail?

Please tell me why you lied to me multiple times, and why I should keep playing at a site that deceives its players about where their money is.
>>>

My reply only consisted of "we're sorry, but courier no longer available..."

Tough times for sure. Lets us know if when you receive the WU.

I requested a payout from Bodog via WU on a late Thursday night/early Friday mornning...it came the following Tuesday so about 2-3 business days. Was very surprised.

that is a quicker turnaround than I'm hearing most people are experiencing, buddy (good to hear, though)...I'm a little leary about bodog right now...

Buddy thats good to hear and I hope that bodog is getting everything straightened out there and getting everyone paid without waiting a long time. It sure looks like that book was not prepared at all for this and others were well prepared for it.

I think the unprepared ones outnumber the prepared books about 5 to 1. I've had delays, hassles, reduced limits, exorbitant fees, or a combination thereof from every place I've gotten money out of, except Sportsbook.com and Greek.
