Default How has Skybook been lately as far as Payouts

I know their lines are vanilla with limited deposit options.

But do they pay or do you have to wait weeks for payments?

Since they don't offer checks, they pay quickly... and you pay a fortune in fees. When I took my money out a few weeks ago, I got **/** the next day.

Paying $60-68 for every $900 is a killer. I can't imagine what they offer that would make those fees worth paying. Unless they have something unique for you that I'm unaware of, find somewhere else.

Their withdrawal fees are ridiculous. Totally useless book unless they come out with cheaper payout options.

They've been jerking me around for a couple of months about a wire. They keep telling me I'm next in line. Finally got a BS email from them today: In order to expedite your payment...please provide....

Are you kidding? Expedite? I've been calling every 2 weeks for a couple of months and now you say you need more from me? Not sure how this will resolve itself but this book is not worth the trouble. That's why I'm taking a complete withdrawl, and that's probably why they are screwing with me.

Troubling post abt them slow paying people. I was considering getting back in there for nappy ho season, but heard they were also having difficulty paying via ewallet.

Could it be that their strange business model has finally come around to bite them and they are cash strapped? Hope that is not the case.

In spite of their limits and time delays, I always found Mike and his crew to be first class folks and really some of the best CS in the business.

Be glad to hear if anyone is getting paid by them recent via Neteller?

I would also like to know this, but I can tell you from the cases I have worked they actually don't keep Neteller funded this time of year so payouts via Neteller can be erratic. They are very quick to accommodate players through alternate methods, though.

Nope. No transfers.

Not even sure if they have any options for U.S. customers other than ** or **.

That's all they have. Bankwires used to be allowed several months ago, but no more. I'm now in the process of pulling 25k out, 1 grand at a time at $68 per pop via **. This Book is of no use to me anymore.

Wow, that is bad news. Not like many of us didn't predict this future for them when they snubbed almost everyone. Not even sure what type of clients they were looking for. I really used to enjoy playing there. Their cash flow must be almost nothing during baseball season.

I would still be interested if anybody has got paid there recently via NT?

None are allowed to personal accounts. They claim they can wire funds to business accounts, which I don't have. And even if I were to set up a business account, I'd be very concerned about exposing my gambling to the Feds for a possible money laundering charge. Best to pay the high ** fees IMO.
