i have been waiting for a check since fukking may 29th

[SBR_John]

They caught a downgrade to A- recently. Probably on the way down from here. Sorry to hear you've been waiting that long! Write to Bill at Assistance@Sportsbookreview.com.

They have a couple of decent payment options that payout in 5 days but requesting a check has turned into sportsbook.com syndrome. Pain.

Just put in a withdraw here.

"Please note that it may take an average of 40 business days before you receive your payment.

Sincerely,
bodoglife.com Payouts Team"

WOW. Im not even sure if Ill be living at my current address in 40 business days. Ridiculous.

Looks like a bigger downgrade is in order, perhaps?

Calvin's sudden departure didn't raise any alarms? Also, they suddenly have more bonus opportunities for repeat depositors, where they used to say -- no re-up bonuses.

I love their customer service, and their betting interfaces/software, especially with the ponies and sports; but the withdrawal delays, stupid sports betting rules (they circle a LOT of games, which means you can't use them in parlays/teasers, even for $5) make Bodog a B or C book for me personally.

That douche-bag Calvin sold and left the company in shambles...their payouts are taking as long as sportsbook.com...I'm personally not using them much anymore...there lines are the worst in the industry...I would rate them a D- at best...

[gambleballs]

Just got notice today that my last 3k check from them bounced. Great

I also waited for check for 45 days, after I did stop payment and they sent me my withdrawal by WU. WU took only one day! So don't be discouraged like I was for those long 45 days, in the end they payed me. Hopefully they will fix their problems with check payments.

another book going down the crap tubes...

Yes, that will happen if they do not get reinforcements on the processing front. It's important that even these large books list payout timeframes they can adhere to.

No, he put Bodog in a good position under the company over a year or so back. All mgt. remains. Their problem, one that other large books are able to deal with better, is that they are so large that it is hard for processors to do business with them...kind of like walking your pet elephant at the dog park.

It's likely that if processing delays deter some players the ones that stay will be paid faster and they level out to where their resources allow them to be. They would still do more volume than most books. Of course Bodog would rather bring the processing level up to match all the growth they achieved during the years of the eCheck. Delays aside, Bodog is paying big winners even 6 figures and has never failed to pay someone their money.

good info Bill...

If a book's "lines suck", that's actually a good thing as far as ratings go. It means their oddsmakers are on the ball.

Rapid Transfer (moneygram) the way to go with Slowdog.

yup...they are also having major issues with paper checks as most big books are...rapid transfer is the way but that will eventually fail as more and more people use that option since waiting a month for a payout becomes unacceptable...they all suck in varying degrees anyway...

[treece]

I think BlowDog should be a B book. They're right there with Jazz/ABC Islands.

I'll agree to an extent, and I'm certainly no Justin as far as sharp wise. However from watching SBR Lines I'll notice Bodog routinely over charges even more egregiously than books which already do, that's not really better for players in general as far as I'm concerned.

Just don't like the feeling of holding a bunch of cash in walmart...

40 days for payout?

Only F- rated (you will NEVER get paid) are worse than waiting 40 days for a withdrawal.

All major sportbooks pay you in less than a week.
