Sportsbetting.com bad payouts

[ou_guy]

I had a little extra in my sportsbetting account so I thought I would withdraw it. They offer a free wire transfer now but all that means is they can steal your money without being accounted for it. Granted I only made a $100 withdrawl request I expect to get $100 instead of 76.95(their were no processing or other bs fees). Just a heads up for you guys hno:

Dear Jerome,
Thank you for contacting us.
On checking your account we see that $100.00 was wired to your bank. As there was no fee charged by sportsbetting.com
we are sorry to inform that we will not be able to credit $24 to your account. As you know that your payout is processed through an intermediary processing bank as it is routed from SPORTSBETTING.COM to your Recipient Bank, as required by international banking regulations.
Please note that we have no control over the intermediary bank or the fees they charge. Thank you for your understanding in this regard.
If you have any queries, please feel free to contact us and we will be glad to assist you.

As much as I hate this God-forsaken book and their schitty customer service,

I think this is legit. Any time you get a bank wire, you are subject to 3rd-party fees from other banks that help process the transaction and that IS out of the control of the book. I have had the same thing happen at other books I love and it is just the nature of the beast. Still hear about checks bouncing from those twats. Take your money, go to betjam and wager with confidence.

i just noticed the "intermediary bank" charged me a $8 wire transfer fee along with not paying me all of my money...unreal, i think ill take your advice and give betjam a shot thanks....how long do their payouts usually take?
