sportsbook.com not paying :(

[dboysaints]

I made 2 withdrawals from sportsbook.com and i asked them about my first one which was made 7 days ago..and the agent said this..Does any one get the same thing from sportsbook.com Has anyone seen delayed payments..?







You: Do you know the status of my 1750 dollar withdrawal?..it still says pending?..
You: my username is xxxxxxx

Charles Abrams: Since the UIGEA was passed almost 2 years ago it has had varied success in clamping down on banking transactions involved with online gaming. Unfortunately the easiest form of transactions to trace and tackle are paper checks sent out to you, our customer. As a result of this all of our current check processors have found it increasingly difficult to get your checks to you. This is what has caused the delay with your current withdrawal request.
We faced a similar situation last year, admittedly on a much bigger scale, which we were able to eventually resolve. It took a little time, and a lot of effort, but we have never missed a payout and I assure you we never will.
So, where does this leave you and your money? Truthfully, at the moment we don't have a definite timeframe for the situation to be resolved. We promise you that we will keep channels of communication open, and we will be proactive with that communication. We promise to email you with a weekly update to let you know we are taking the situation very seriously and we promise to contact you as soon as there is any development.
Our agents will be more than happy to take your chats, emails or calls, but please be aware that you will be kept up to date and have as much information as they will.
So once again, I would like to apologize for this very unfortunate situation. You can expect an email from us within the week to fully update you regarding the situation. You: so do you
You: know a time
You: frame when i will get paid?


Charles Abrams: We are not going to give you unrealistic timeframes. The truth of the matter is that we don't know exactly how long this process will take. Please rest assured that we are currently reviewing several alternatives which will get your funds to you as soon as possible

I am not shocked..Only thing they got going is their name which traps lots of mice on Google

They are lying and waiting for people to deposit to pay you..but you are on a waiting list

1LuckyGambler enters the SBR rating guide at D- 1LuckyGambler is a Costa Rica-based sportsbook that uses the Sportsbook.com (SBR rating D-) hosting and service center. Bettors are advised to steer clear of the Sportsbook.com group which has scammed many players over the past year. Sportsbook.com is four months behind in payment to some players due to a lack of processing resources.

Regarding Sportsbook.com

This has happend in the past and with a little patience everyone was paid then and I am confident the same thing is going to happen again this time. The problem is they have lost another major processor bank and need time to get a new one on line and shipping checks on a daily basis. The book itself is not going anywhere. The best advice I can give players requesting withdrawals is to be patient you will be paid.

Denniz da Menace is incorrect regarding his theory about Sportsbook.com waiting for deposits to fund withdrawals. Sportsbook.com is a member of the Janzette Enterprises Limited family of over 20 different books. The company is huge and will not be going out of business or stiffing anyone.

Rxers who have pending withdrawals at Sportsbook.com should feel free to email me at wilheim@therx.com with a CC to person19481950@yahoo.com and I will make sure that your withdrawal requests get into the hands of CSD supervisors at Sportsbook.com and I will personally work with you and Sportsbook.com until you have your withdrawal in hand.

Right now Sportsbook.com is in the process of contracting new ACH and paper check processor banks. Withdrawals should be back to normal within 5 weeks from now.

Players who have larger balances and wish to withdraw at least $5,000 can request a bank wire anytime. Remember bank wires start at $5,000 minimum.

Thank you, wilheim

PS. 1Luckygambler.com has never advertised here and I have never had a dispute involving that book. I do deal with Sportsbook.com very frequently and have several solid contacts there that I have worked with for over two years.

 

[DennizdaMenace]

Yes Wil is correct..I just found out I stuck my foot in my mouth..One good thing about Sportbook is they accept Credit Cards..Hope they iron out the payout issue sooner rather than later

Wilhelm,

Why don't sportsbook have Moneygram or western union payouts like bookmaker and others...

 

[BAGIANT]

I'm pissed at them for some nonsense they're pulling with bonuses. I don't even remember getting any bonus from them as I never really send them much money. But when I went to shift some money from the book to the casino, it would only let me transfer a certain amount. Turns out they don't forgive your rollover requirement should you go broke on the money they gave you the bonus on. I think it's total BS and I won't deposit there again.

 

[michael777]

i deposited by quick tender,they are supposed to pay me by transfer to quick tender,over 1 month and nothing,they don't have to have a check processer for my payment,all they have to do is a transfer and so far they have not

I actually asked that same question when you first posted this thread (I called Sportsbook.com when I saw the thread) but was not able to reach either of the supervisors I deal with and the person I talked to couldn't tell me. I will try to find out tomorrow.

Other books send checks no problem, they have no excuse.

Did you read the explanation given by Wil? Thats what I thought, now STFU.

another article i found from another site:

i feel all of your pain. i am an investigative journalist and i have been effected more than once by sports.book.com's BS with their processors over the past few years. They are about to exposed by a major news outlet here in the states, and it won't be long before it hits internationally- Sportsbook cannot send millions of dollars in bad checks to americans and continue to not face any consequences. if an american company would have done that, the federal gove't would have been all over that company's ass. I done a lot of digging- If you can believe i have gotten all the way up the ladder at sportsbook and talked to those wayyy above the supervisors that speak on behalf of what they call the "directors"- who are the ones with controlling interest. I have also done my homework on these processors involved. You are right that Graapa and Zip Payments are the middle men who process the payments and send the checks. Graapa processes hundreds of online gambling sites, among other industries. They are located in Barcelona Spain. ZIP payments corporate office phones in both Henderson NV and las vegas have been disconnected. The so called "Help Desk" you refer to from Zip Payments (who is really working for a company called Intertrans,) wants to take you directly to ZIP Payments "customer service center" overseas, who in turn tells you to contact "Graapa," the actual direct processor for Sportsbook. The problem seems to point to Zip Payments, not Graapa. Sportsbook managers say currently an estimated5,000 checks worth $4-5 million were bad checks from that "one batch alone", and that they are trying to "recover the monies" from their processor. Zip Payments is the company at Nevada State Bank who actually issued the bad checks and had the money in hand before they closed "Several" accounts at the Nevada State Bank.
I hate to tell you all, but as of this morning, Sportsbook upper mabasgement indicated there is no current processor for sportsbook.com other than one small processor who they only use to wire funds to large clients who want over $5,000 withdrawn. So what does that mean- well, all pending transcations that have "been processed" but that have not been sent out WILL NOT GO OUT, and those that have gone out ARE MOST LIKELY ALSO BAD CHECKS (both according to upper management). Even more interesting and frustrating at the same time, Sportsbook.com has no idea what checks that have gone out are bad, and which ones are not- they have absolutely no idea where they stand unless the client calls them to let them know that their check has bounced- they are absolutely incapable over there!!! I did make the "Zip Payments help desk" people angry and they hung up on me, as they are obviosuly trying to cover the whole thing up. You ask them what company they are working for and they say "customer Service." then you ask them "customer service for what" and they answer "The Help Desk" and laugh in your face. Well, i made that guy pissed off and then pissed off his manager who said the same thing- she then abruptly hung up on me when i asked her why her company has written millions of dollars of bad checks to american consumers?? She obviously knew what her company was up to. I still have to do some research on this company "Intertrans," where this "Help Desk" is housed. Zip Payments did in fact close the accounts at Nevada State bank and my guess is that they ran with the money, which is why the Sportsbook manager said they are trying to "recover the funds." I can't prove that and won't go on record to say that, but that is where the saga is currently heading if i had to take a wild guess. I have so many quotes and phone numbers and locations and contacts associated with this story it is pathetic. I have a few more loose ends to tie up before I go to the national network of my choice with this story- it is wayyyyyyy past time that sportsbook.com and other unresponsible online gambling sites take note that this kind of activity will not be tolerated. In the longrun I think we will all eventually get paid, but all of the headaches and stress, and financial obligations Sportsbook places on the american people by sending out millions upon millions in bad checks has to be accounted for- they will never go belly up- but it has been soooooo fun the last two or three days to get under the skin of all those who work for both sportsbook.com and the processors- i urge you all to keep calling them everyday- and don't bother with the customer service people- go straight to the supervisors (Susan, Carlisle, JD, Hannah), and if you get to speak to the people i did above them, let them have it as well! new slogan "BUG EVERYDAY UNTIL YOU GET PAID". AND IN THE MEANTIME, DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT SPEND ANY MORE OF YOUR MONEY ON AN ONLINE GAMBLING SITE- GET IN YOUR CAR, GO TO A CASINO, WIN YOUR MONEY, GO THE CASHIER AND WALK OUT OF THEIR WITH YOUR MONEY IN YOUR POCKET! not only are these online companies playing weith your mind and your money, they are also collecting interest by holding your money as ransome for weeks upon weeks at a time. then you get so frustrated, that before you get paid you go try to win some more at another site- at which you lose or that money gets tied up- realize what you are doing, and make it stop- just some friendly words of advice! best of luck to all of you and i may be back on here later asking if any of you would like to go on camera and tell your story and how this has effedcted your life, your finances, and your mental stability.

cheers
sportsbooksucks!!!
