    Default Has a book ever sent you more than you asked for?

    Made a withdrawl recently and received $20 more than what I requested.
    Thought it was pretty nice of them.. Has this ever happened to you?

    No, but got $9.95 less for a Mineygram withdrawl. I called the book and it was added back in my balance.

    Although it's not exactly along the same lines, I can give a different spin on this.....

    Last year I won 2 fairly large bets at Expekt, picking up somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,100. However, upon checking my account balance, I found that not only had the funds been credited to my account, but in fact I had an extra $2,100, as they had credited each win twice.

    Figuring that they would, of course, discover this error, I sent them multiple emails to let them know that a mistake had been committed. Foolish perhaps, but I didn't really need the extra funds to be honest, and certainly didn't need the turmoil that no doubt lay ahead for me if I did not bring it to their attention.

    Anyway, long story somewhat short, they never responded and in time I actually ended up scalping out the extra 2K. I have always wondered why out of the several times I contacted them over the years that this was the only issue they never responded to, but it's ancient history now.....

    Happened a second time with the same book (Betfair) for an even bigger amount. They always discovered before I would notify them.

    Two (or two and half, I don't remember exactly) years ago Sportingbet sent my withdraw twice to Moneybookers (+1500EUR, I kept it. Sorry sportingbet, you cut my limits, I kept your money).

    Betfair sent me once 2000 Euro but forgot to substract that money from my account balance. I was honest and told them about that (not because I am a good person but because I still need them in the future...) and they corrected the mistake.
    Though I think it's a little bit disappointing that they didn't give me at least a very small bonus for reporting them their mistake.

    I once had $500 added to my poker account and could not figure out why.
    Then like a month later I visit their promotions page looking for something else and see there was a contest for whoever raked the most Omaha hands each week wins $500 and there was a link to a list of winners and sure enough I had won, never new the contest even existed. Omaha was pretty much all I played online and this was when online poker was still fairly new and it was not very popular.

    All of these books have **'s sent to the same place, in Hallandale, FL. I accidently sent one to WSEX's company code, but intended to send it to 5dimes. I called ** and had them re-route it, but WSEX had apparently funded my account. 5dimes funded me there, too. I still don't know who got the actual **********? I doubt it, but maybe ** got screwed and paid each company.

    bet365 processed my withdrawal twice. not sure how much was it but it was around 1500 US$. Did not tell them about it. Stanjames processed a withdrawal twice but I reported it to them as I really liked them back then.
