Default SBR Sportsbetting.com Update

We currently are following a half dozen complaints with this book.

Four of the issues are bounced checks that need to be reissued and/or credited to the account of the player.

A couple of players are waiting over two weeks for payouts.

I would say in general that this group of books is doing MUCH BETTER than Sportsbook.com.

The delays for payment occassionally happen, but are generally fairly short. The bounced checks are causing players lots of problems with their banks, especially in the case of multiple bounced checks, but the slow pays are being dealt with fairly quickly.

That is good news. I just requested a check from them last week and it is still being processed. I expect a delay, but it is good to hear they are working on solving the situation.

Nobody should be requesting checks at this time if you are reading this PLEASE WAIT until the coast is clear. DO NOT REQUEST CHECKS AT THIS TIME.

I have several pending withdrawals I recieved one 2 days ago waiting on others.....

Who is you to be dictating, cinpls ? You want us all to wait until yours are all received and cleared.? Just messing. This book has their act together. Looks to me like they were thrown a roadblock, maybe a processor got shut down just like at sportsbook or bodog , so they threw the bankwire option right up there, not that I know of anyone who's used it yet, and then new checks have been arriving anyways... Their diversion from the other Jazette books- all good.

Another check here by fed ex. This company had a major issue in July. From July-September the fact is I was getting checks in 3 days for months. Then this at the begining of the month. They seem to have there processor issues moving in the correct direction....I am now waiting on a small bank wire (I'm trying it out) and have no pending checks at this time....I do have a rather large balance (there is a good reson for this) I wouldn't suggest to anyone to keep that much in any offshore account at this time....too risky government is making this a big game of cat and mouse.

I withdrew from sportsbook.com about 6 days ago, should I cancel the withdrawal so that I don't end up with another bounced check ( had a bounced check from them in early sept) I just wanted to get all the money out and quit dealing with them...

but I don't wanna have another check bounce and have to go through the process of getting that all taking care of... I am better waiting a bit and seeing if they get their stuff together? Has anyone got a check from them lately that DIDN'T bonce?

Guys Sportsbetting.com is not in the same group as sportsbook.com. MUCH differnet opperation.

Chi Archie my bet is you have your check by the end of next week. Checks are flowing and not bouncing from what I'm seeing...

Cinpls, since you seem to be well experienced with these books, could you clarify one thing? Chi Archie said he's waiting for a sportsbook.com check, not sportsbetting.com. Do you know first hand that sportsbook.com (not sportsbetting.com) checks are once again flowing and not bouncing?

Thanks!

Compairing sportsbook.com and sportsbetting.com is like compairing 5 dimes to Cris. THey are not the same operation. THey do use the same lines but YEARS ago (over a year) sportsbetting split from sportsbook.com.. I have tons of experience dealing with both of these organiztions. Back in APril both co's had processing issues. Sportsbetting got there checks up andrunning for 3 months. I would put in a request on Monday and the check would be here Thursday reg mail. This was happening up until the begining of Sept....then I got a bounced check from them...bank out of nevada.... I had 2 peninding checks from Sept 8th or so that came last week from a Canadian bank. No problems as of yet but funny enough as it may be I went on live chat and asked about a check that I got 9 days ago and they said its still not processed.....YES IT IS I've had it for 10 days.....

ANyways same sitation with the sportsbook group I had large 5 digit with them....I was able to get my funds NOT by check but via Use My Wallet. Mods here are saying 4 months to get funds its not true at all if you can be set up with this method or if you alread are set up. You request funds today and within 48 hours they are in your UMW account another 48 they are in the bank. In fact sportsbooks method like this is the best in the biz now....I do have to say that it does take WEEKS to get set up this is the problem but VERY quick once you are set up.

THings at sportsbetting seem to be back to normal I have no idea how long this will last so the best thing to do is get your money NOW in my opinion. I have been very successful getting my money out of these places but its only a matter of time just like the stock market. I give it 6 months before its 100% done in the US.

Thanks for the reply Cinpls, but you didn't really answer my specific question. I appreciate the background, but I'm fully familiar with the current difference b/t the two books and their history.

Chi Archie asked about sportsbook.com checks and you told him that checks were flowing and not bouncing. Were you talking about sportsbook.com or did you mistakenly think he was asking about Sportsbetting?

Thanks in advance!

To the best of my knowledge, they process out payments via totally separate methods. There will be overlap since their are still some loose connections in terms of information, but they operate payouts separately.

Josh, do you happen to have any knowledge of sportsbook.com's current check processing situation? I sent you an e-mail, but I realize how busy you must be and thought it might be quicker/easier for you to answer here.
