Re: Bodog Slow Payouts? Help?
Hello,
I have a payout coming from Bodog and it has taken over 20 business days. I did the courior method. Everytime I email them i get a slightly different response but ultimately it states that they will send me a tracking number via email.
Is there anyone at this forum to help speed the service of being paid?
It is actually my first withdrawal there and anywhere since we weren't able to use the electronic means to get a withdrawal.
I did contact someone at the therx forum but someone said that some of the veterens of that forum came to this forum.
thanks for any help
Bodog is on solid ground financially. So you will eventually get your money, but it will be slow. Administratively, Bodog is really messed up.
Bodog has offices in Vancouver (British Columbia), Kahnawake Indian Reservation (near Montreal, Quebec), Antigua, and Costa Rica.
Someone is going to correct me that Bodog does not have any presence in Costa Rica any longer, but here is info about that:
Bodog cuts back on U.S. ads, moves to Antigua
Having offices all over the place might work if anyone at Bodog would figure out who is in charge. Rob Gillespie (CEO) is theoretically in charge but none of his people seem to know that and nobody seems to have a boss at Bodog, they just do their own thing whenever they feel like it.
Unfortunately, Bodog is really screwed up in terms of getting payouts to customers. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. One office in one country doesn't talk to the offices in the other countries.
I would suggest you find someone who is helpful in customer service and work with that person. Be patient. Be polite and don't yell and scream on the phone because it will not help your situation. Expect your payout, if everything goes well, to take a lot longer than a month. Maybe about 40 days. That's the way it is with Bodog right now and there is not a lot you can do about it.
I know that someone is going to try to correct me, but I have a long assocation with Bodog and that is how long my payouts are taking right now, about 40 calendar days.
I would advise you to take this as a lesson in how not to run a sports book, withdraw all of your money, and open up an account with a good sportsbook like Bet Jamaica, 5 Dimes, Matchbook, or Olympic.
Oh, and be aware that unless you originally deposited via some special method, like via moneygram, Bodog will not issue a withdrawal via that method. Normally, they issue a withdrawal via snail-mailed-cheque or cheque via Federal Express.
