If you died tomorrow....

[valdosta]

what would become of your on line money?? I know some people just deposit as they need to but I imagine most keep money into an account. Have you given a signifigant other your passwords to withdraw your money if something bad happened to you?? I am not married so I recently got with my step dad and gave him my info. It's a funny way of thinking but everyone dies someday.

I`ve also thought of this, and considered doing what you did. I wonder if the books have any provisions in place for this eventuality? As it certainly has happened before.

I have never thought of it, damn you Valdosta.

Do sportbooks ever close inactive accounts? I doubt it. I have no idea what would happen to your money if someone doesn't realize the deceased has some off-shore accounts with money in them. If no one calls I am sure the money is lost. In fact if someone calls it is probably still lost. How many books would just take someone's word for it that the player has passed away? "Go ahead and send me his money please".

Maybe if they send a death certificate or something they will release it.

Valdosta good question, and in my case no

 

[Fishhead]

TO ALL WHO IT MAY CONCERN: If you have money offshore, it is very important that you tell someone close to you how to get the money out safely and easily! Some sportsbooks actually allow you to have a secondary name on the account.

You better show someone(wife) how to transfer funds from book to neteller to bank.

Currently, that is my #1 option.

Thanks for stating that.

I made a serious post about this a long while back. Found a couple things.

#1 Have a close associate/friend/family know all of your login info and accounts.

#2 They will have to send a death certificate upon death to the book to receive any funds.

One could call Neteller and explain the situation. Send Neteller a death certificate and they will make sure the monies are transferred. In all cases, the person with this info should CALL.

good idea

If you fax the death certificate the book will turn the money over to the person's spouse or family member.

 

[PanchoSanza]

I put the information in a file and referenced it in my will.

 

[BrianJames]

The General is right on this.

MY old lady knows what money i have and where it is. as long as the books would let her withdraw it, there would be no problem.

 

[Mr.Jones]

My wife is really a long time live-in girlfriend who I consider a much better wife than either of my 2 previous real wifie's. She knows all of my account information. And I know the info on all four of her accounts. Question is we ain't legal so I guess since we were talking about redoing our wills anyway we should take care of it that way. I guess.

Well, with my book all you have to do is give them your name, account number and give the type of transaction you would like. The book wouldn't even need to know I was gone. My step dad would be able to cash the check so it would be no problem. I didn't think about this for a whie though and was hoping to make sure everyone else had a good way of getting there $$$ out
