Welcome to the board..

5Dimes is another good choice, they pay within 2-3 business days by way of check, your money is safe there.

It really depends if you play big or small for action or to make money?

If you mean my eligibility for a free payout w/ CW, I requested my last free payout March 17th, this one I requested Monday morning however by the time a check is written Wednesday, that will be the 30th day. Or if you count the 17th as one day tomorrow will be 30 days before the w/d is even processed.

In other words I could've waited till Wed 7am to officially be at 30 days to request one, but wanted to get it in early.

smaller amounts, so it seems Bet Jam? They ever have problems issuing checks and how long does it take for them to arrive generally?

Thanks!

Hey buddy, If I understood them right from chat today, yours and my 30 day period will be next weeks settle due to closing/balancing is Sunday night after last games about 9 Western time.

If we had had 40 days in before sunday we would have been good. Has nothing to do with Wed. That is only request funds deadline does not count towards play time

Oh I see what you're saying. So if you request a payout on a Monday, it's processed Wednesday, and then you begin counting the 30 days after the next Sunday. In which case, if you requested a w/d same as me, it'd be this upcoming Sunday to mark 30 days.

In other words they count the 30 days by settlement weeks (sundays) instead of actual days within that week.

you got my friend! Also whatever you were up or down is final on Sundays as well.

Plays on Monday nights regardless of when requested payouts go towards the new week.

I hope this helps!

Yes Sportsbook has had processing issues and they did seize some balances of players which blatantly took bonuses at sister sites and bet against each other, but regular honest players like you or me aren't in danger there. And there's the correlated parlay saga but they did make it clear in their new T&C that wasn't permitted, and still some abused it.
