One complaint here tonight, one at MW-for $13K which has been stalled for 6 weeks.

It must take balls of iron to send your money to these guys.

..and even bigger balls for a certain site to keep them on their "preferred" list.

You'd think a site that just had 2 "preferred" books close up shop would start looking at their list under a better microscope.

Then again, maybe there's no microscope at all.
 
Played with them for years and loved them. Never ever ever had a problem but I got out 2+ years ago. I feel sorry for these guys when I hear bad stuff on the forums about them because they were always good to me.

Yak, don't panic yet-SIA is notorious for slow pays. Many people will say 30-45 days is the norm....others say 24-48 hours.

They reportedly do a pretty hard core screening of some big winners to make sure it is actually a "unique" account. They boot pretty much everyone once they go up $10-15ish....which isn't that tough if you are on the ball.

MW is another forum that they probably don't want me to mention here(competition), but there is another complaint----but remember, none of this is anything new.

what exactly do you mean by 'unique account'? One of my buddies has an SIA account & plays when he is over at my house through my PC.

I am not posting bad stuff, simply the facts. 2.5 weeks delay without reasonable explanation. I also have always been paid by them in the past

It is going to be a whopping big difference if both you and your friend made the same bets from the same PC.

We didnt make the same bets...Maybe some but definately not all, although of course being best buds we do talk & often like the same games...They say the withdrawal is 'pending' their payment processor...has anyone living in Canada used their new Processor to send payments directly to their bank account?

Of all the book to have 2 accounts and one IP this isn't one you want to do it at.

Am out of SIA now, but last week they paid in under 48 hours via neteller.

Lakerfan is right. 2 accounts and 1 ip-address is always a bad idea at low-limit book. You could be accused of circumventing the limits of the book. Did you both bet the max? If so you may have to prove that both people really exist.

of course the vast majority of my buddies bets are & were made through his own IP at home. I guess I will just have to keep my fingers crossed. Everything was legit & they have low limits anyway.

I wish I hadnt even posted my initial thread, I feel much worse now about everything...to be honest I will try to assume the best as I have always gotten A1 service from them in the past...

There's a term for that, Yak - it's called 'whistling past the graveyard'

BTW, I have a suggestion for the Rx - please post a PERMANENT topic on SIA filled with the usual stuff about them - some with reports that they got paid on time and always have, and others with the INEVITABLE "I haven't got paid since Noah docked" slow-pay complaints. The funny thing is, both are absolutely true. My theory is that SIA's reptilian managers simply decide to fvck over someone they suspect is a sharp or even just a good bettor, in between snorting coke and taking 22-hour naps.

I am right on their boot line of $15k, so I have pulled my balance down to a nickel. However I have received three Neteller withdrawals in the last three weeks. All were requested on Sunday and received on Monday. I still have not heard of anyone having withdrawal problems that deposit by Neteller. Everyone has to make their own decisions, but for me the reward was worth the risk.

with SIA, just assume you are playing into your local mob-backed bookie. If you start winning big/long term, you get cut. You wanta a big withdrawal after you raped 'em, fvck you pal, wait a while. They think you are cheating in some way, Mr. Dual IPs? Well "good luck collecting asshole". They ran up a dumb line and got screwed, hey, those bets don't count, sorry pal, our mistake. And that's how it goes.

I'm serious, this is exactly what you are dealing with. They do enough legit business to keep the banner online, but behind the scenes it's simply organized crime as usual.
