Live chat told me tonight that the debit card will be available soon. When you make a withdraw it takes 7-10 days for the debit card to be funded, then you can go to any ATM to get your loot.

They are about to exposed by a major news outlet here in the states, and it won't be long before it hits internationally- Sportsbook cannot send millions of dollars in bad checks to americans and continue to not face any consequences. if an american company would have done that, the federal gove't would have been all over that company's ass. I done a lot of digging- If you can believe i have gotten all the way up the ladder at sportsbook and talked to those wayyy above the supervisors that speak on behalf of what they call the "directors"- who are the ones with controlling interest. I have also done my homework on these processors involved. You are right that Graapa and Zip Payments are the middle men who process the payments and send the checks. Graapa processes hundreds of online gambling sites, among other industries. They are located in Barcelona Spain. ZIP payments corporate office phones in both Henderson NV and las vegas have been disconnected. The so called "Help Desk" you refer to from Zip Payments (who is really working for a company called Intertrans,) wants to take you directly to ZIP Payments "customer service center" overseas, who in turn tells you to contact "Graapa," the actual direct processor for Sportsbook. The problem seems to point to Zip Payments, not Graapa. Sportsbook managers say currently an estimated5,000 checks worth $4-5 million were bad checks from that "one batch alone", and that they are trying to "recover the monies" from their processor. Zip Payments is the company at Nevada State Bank who actually issued the bad checks and had the money in hand before they closed "Several" accounts at the Nevada State Bank.
I hate to tell you all, but as of this morning, Sportsbook upper mabasgement indicated there is no current processor for sportsbook.com other than one small processor who they only use to wire funds to large clients who want over $5,000 withdrawn. So what does that mean- well, all pending transcations that have "been processed" but that have not been sent out WILL NOT GO OUT, and those that have gone out ARE MOST LIKELY ALSO BAD CHECKS (both according to upper management). Even more interesting and frustrating at the same time, Sportsbook.com has no idea what checks that have gone out are bad, and which ones are not- they have absolutely no idea where they stand unless the client calls them to let them know that their check has bounced- they are absolutely incapable over there!!! I did make the "Zip Payments help desk" people angry and they hung up on me, as they are obviosuly trying to cover the whole thing up. You ask them what company they are working for and they say "customer Service." then you ask them "customer service for what" and they answer "The Help Desk" and laugh in your face. Well, i made that guy pissed off and then pissed off his manager who said the same thing- she then abruptly hung up on me when i asked her why her company has written millions of dollars of bad checks to american consumers?? She obviously knew what her company was up to. I still have to do some research on this company "Intertrans," where this "Help Desk" is housed. Zip Payments did in fact close the accounts at Nevada State bank and my guess is that they ran with the money, which is why the Sportsbook manager said they are trying to "recover the funds." I can't prove that and won't go on record to say that, but that is where the saga is currently heading if i had to take a wild guess. I have so many quotes and phone numbers and locations and contacts associated with this story it is pathetic. I have a few more loose ends to tie up before I go to the national network of my choice with this story- it is wayyyyyyy past time that sportsbook.com and other unresponsible online gambling sites take note that this kind of activity will not be tolerated. In the longrun I think we will all eventually get paid, but all of the headaches and stress, and financial obligations Sportsbook places on the american people by sending out millions upon millions in bad checks has to be accounted for- they will never go belly up- but it has been soooooo fun the last two or three days to get under the skin of all those who work for both sportsbook.com and the processors- i urge you all to keep calling them everyday- and don't bother with the customer service people- go straight to the supervisors (Susan, Carlisle, JD, Hannah), and if you get to speak to the people i did above them, let them have it as well! new slogan "BUG EVERYDAY UNTIL YOU GET PAID". AND IN THE MEANTIME, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT SPEND ANY MORE OF YOUR MONEY ON AN ONLINE GAMBLING SITE- GET IN YOUR CAR, GO TO A CASINO, WIN YOUR MONEY, GO THE CASHIER AND WALK OUT OF THEIR WITH YOUR MONEY IN YOUR POCKET! not only are these online companies playing weith your mind and your money, they are also collecting interest by holding your money as ransome for weeks upon weeks at a time. then you get so frustrated, that before you get paid you go try to win some more at another site- at which you lose or that money gets tied up- realize what you are doing, and make it stop- just some friendly words of advice! best of luck to all of you and i may be back on here later asking if any of you would like to go on camera and tell your story and how this has effedcted your life, your finances, and your mental stability.
cheers

Good luck with that journalism career. Looks like you're off to a strong start, based on excellent spelling, grammar & punctuation. The Pulitzers should come-a-knocking shortly.

i doubt the 7-10 days is true.
here's what they have on their website:
When withdrawing from your account we may send some funds back to your credit card to the extent that you made recent credit card deposits. The timeframe for you to receive your payouts will vary depending on the method selected and current number of requests. General processing times will be 3-5 weeks if we have all required documents on file. While we will work to have your payments processed as quickly as possible some payments may take longer than specified.

You pretty much have to go into it thinking that you have no money coming, and of it does show up, then
