Default Bodog Service Sucks

After 6 Weeks Of Waiting For A Payout Check From Bodog I Finaly Got It Last Fri 9/15 I Deposited It The Same Day. Today I Got And Email From Bodog Saying That Check Is No Good And A Replacement Check Will Be Sent In About 7 Buss. Days. I Called Bodog To Tell Them Ive Written Checks On My Deposit And Im Going To Have Checks Retirned Because Of This. They Could Care Less They Told Me Go Talk To My Bank And See What They Could Do

I'm having problems with their website. It appears down. They went to newbodog.com a couple weeks ago. It's not working right now and neither is bodog.com

bodog has this *************** deposit method that lets you bet with money that is not cleared yet. i find it quite interesting, because on the small print it says if the check for some reason does not clear, all your winnings will be voided.

if you think about this, bodog can screw you if you hit a hot streak and tripled up and for some reason they'll claim that your check does not clear and void all your winnings during this period of time. from my expereince, the *************** could take up to a month to clear. usually small time bettors go bust during that period of time because you're not allowed to withdraw until your check clears.(casinos do this all the time, they know if you stay in the casino long enough, you'll eventually lose all your money)

i am not sure if anyone has hit it big and bodog screw them over by claiming your original deposit did not go through and your winnings are voided.

Bodog seems a little bit skeptical since they post on their website stating that if they suspect that if you're a professional player they can take action against you on their discretion. What the Hell? I don't know anyone that deposits money and not wanting to win and if you win and win a lot does this mean you're a professional player? Also they don't even except wagers over 1dime and only 2 dimes on NFL. Obviously they are not well funded to pay out and when they pay out it takes ages.

I played with Bodog in past years and never had a problem.
But, I wll not play there again. Way too many horror stories coming out of that place. Just a matter of time until all or most players lose confidence in them. The place is being
mismanged badly.

Waiting 6 to 8 weeks for a check is unexcuseable and then
for the check to be bad. Nope, never another play
from me.

HERES The email from bodog It has just come to our attention that 1 check(s) totaling $1000 which we recently mailed to you had an error in the banking information provided on the check. The check numbers on these invalid checks are:

xxxx

A replacement check will be couriered to your registered address, and should arrive within the next 5-7 business days. The replacement checks will have updated check numbers, and can be identified by routing number xxxxxxxxxxx in the bottom portion of the check.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this issue may have caused and we would like to extend our thanks for your patience and understanding

playyed with bogdog for 1 year, and I have won over $600.00. I took out $400.00 and got it in 10 weeks the rest I had spent. I don't use them anymore. I never got rip off. but I did notice if you dont take it out you will use it and they will hold off on sending you a check. I got like 4 check from them in the past 1 hour. still wasn't happy with there service.

I understand that with the new US legislation it is a lot harder to receive a payout, I have not played with BoDog, but I was planning to... this post makes me want to think it over.

Hey, I ve also heard stories of people betting 500$ parlays and closing their account before the money gets pulled. It goes both ways. I mean they dont pull the money for 3 days. What do they expect....responsible online gamers.

I personally had a good experience. It took 2 weeks to receive my check by courier and I deposited it into my bank account and everything went smoothly.

Any updates lewlindac5?

Bodog is only my top 3 list of best outs and a book I would hate to live without.
They have better lines than you can get on Betfair, Pinnacle, Matchbook or anywhere else on the underdog side so often.

As far as voiding winnings if I check don't clear - This is reasonable to me. Otherwise you could issue bad check take shots, if you win give them a new check or if you lose stiff them.

If there is some reason you need fast cash outs (Bonus whore is only reason i can think of - because otherwise your probably just a degenerate gambler betting our of bankroll ) then they are not they're probably not the right book for you.

But if you're willing and able to wait a few weeks for a check they're a great option.

My most recent one same time frame.
The check was drawn from a major US bank - one of those banks that has a branch in every city. I walked into branch and cashed it with no wait, 2 forms of ID and got the cash - This was mid 4 figure. The only annoying part about it was an idiot teller who thought it was a fake check because she didn't recognize the routing # or something and it took like 10 minutes standing there why she made a phone call but her manager came by and cashed it right away.
