talking to payment processor is pretty weird

called up one of the sportsbook payment processors. the conversation is pretty weird. they know all my info but they won't give out any info about them or the book. they would only give out hints and make me guess which book it is going to. took me 5 minutes to figure out which book that processor is working for. it is like playing 21 questions.

i think i'll stop using that sportsbook from now on, feel shady just talking to them.

Why would you contact any books processors? Frankly, (And I mean no insult by this) I'm shocked they even took your call.

weird charges showed up on my bank account. just need to verify which book it is going to. well, at least i know that processor has a pretty good front. when you call, they do sound like a legit business.

Despite some assertions here that money can and should move with ease, processing, how we take your money and get it back to you, is the single most pressing issue facing the industry.(fraud not included) Most books use different processors, there's no sharing amongst them.
Shocked a book would release contact details to you at all.

it is not that hard to track down the processors...i did not get the contact info from the books, and i don't think they'll give it to you. that is why you should stay away from certain books. if the US gov decide to crack them down, very simple operation. i think it'll only take one FBI agent 1-2 months to track down and bust all the processors. but they got better thing to do at this point like find child molestors.
