my favorite was the first response tho.. especially considering they had already canceled the wagers from trucks;
Also even though the event was cancelled, we won't cancel the wagers until the time of the event has passed.

BetOnline paid me in 6 hours today (refund of my entry fees for the bracket contest). Kudos to them! I will go back to them when USA sports gets back to normal (just wish they'd offer open parlays or I'd use them a lot more).

5Dimes still hasn't even done the call or email. Just shows requested in the payouts page. Disappointed. Might just solely stick with Heritage for my open parlays once we get back to normal.

5dimes usually pays my bitcoin withdrawal in 6 hours or so.

Going on day 2 and havent paid yet.

**Brooklyn Dick** · 03-15-20, 06:15 AM

More than half of all online books will be closed when sports resume. This is like a run on banks. Sportsbooks use the post up money to operate, they cannot even pay what they are supposed to be holding.

Get your cash out NOW, if you can..............

Honestly, this is unnecessary fear.

"the run" on offshores to withdraw has already happened and so far there is no obvious sign any big name book isn't able to pay everyone.

But go ahead and withdraw anyway if you want. Not much use leaving it there if you have another use for it whilst waiting for sports to come back.

if that was true we would've already seen slow pays/no pays... why would a book pay people for a week (when nobody is depositing) and THEN shut down? makes no sense

at some point deposits will be coming back in for nba playoffs, nfl, whatever

who cares your money isnt going anywhere

**capitalist pig** · 03-15-20, 10:54 AM

I believe the biggest threat to all books onshore or offshore is that if there are no sports say for 2-4 months people realize they really don’t need to gamble. Obviously that doesn’t include the couple hundred sbr posters but more in regards to the general public bettor. Then again it could go just the opposite, people may make mass deposits and the world rights itself jmo

later

**Purduekev** · 03-15-20, 12:00 PM

When this alls blows over and the NFL/NCAAF is back in September everything will be back to normal. Short term though you will see which offshore books are the financially strongest to weather an event like this that has never been seen in the sports world.

I went to Indiana Grand this morning to get my refunds of the NCAAB Tournament and they said starting at 6am Monday they will close for two weeks but the employees will get paid. The sportsbook was closed already and I had to go to the cashier window to get my cash.

**thagame24** · 03-15-20, 12:30 PM

Most people gamble with bonuses and will have rollover remaining, with basically nothing to bet on. This covers the books from 95% of withdrawal requests. No doubt deposits will slow down, but you also have many impatient addicts who will play in the casino or poker just for the action and burn their balances. The books will hurt in the short term like every other business, but they are in position to ride this out. Let's not add to the panic here, isn't the media doing enough of that?

withdrawing your balance with nothing to bet on for 1-3,4,5 months isnt panic, its common sense

but what are you going to do with the money in the meantime? put it in the bank for 0% interest?

ignoring bonuses, the money is probably just as safe sitting in bookmaker and you avoid the costs of selling btc/buying btc and the potential price fluctuations waiting for confirmation.

books might have great reload bonuses when sports are back, as they should

why would you be at bookmaker for mlb anyway

well i'm assuming there might be nba/nhl at some point, bookmaker is the only place i can bet more than 100 on props/live betting on those

If that's your decision, fine withdraw your funds. You also completely skipped over my main point, which is that most people can't withdraw even if they wanted to.

**RudyRuetigger** · 03-15-20, 01:12 PM

2 reasons why Id withdraw

I'd rather have my money 100% safe and give up 3% withdrawal fees

and also

I think you will get a reload bonus to more than make up for that fee

Maybe not, but to me its a no brainer

theres nothing to disagree on that

personally, i think books should allow a forfeit of bonus money won plus bonus money in account but i can obviously see why not

do you want me to edit and say, yes i agree with that?

**BigdaddyQH** · 03-15-20, 01:26 PM

The major problem you people have is this. You have NO CLUE how to make money. Do you know that you can get 2% interest on accounts now guaranteed by the Federal Government for up to 250K. You clowns added up do not have that kind of money. Certainly no individual in here has it. There are lots of ways to make money today but you fools are so blind that the only thing you know is off shore wagering, where you NEVER get your money back to begin with. It is the end for you people, and not too soon, I might add.

Great point Rudy... You are likely 100% correct. The reload bonus' will likely come back big when sports start backup as books try to draw the $$ back in.

if you withdraw 5k now, don't make any bets in the next few months, and then re-deposit with bonus, some books would catch it.

as thagame pointed out, the books people would probably want to get out of, they can't (because there's pending rollover)

**WikeyWo** · 03-15-20, 02:15 PM

I just tried to withdrawal, was told to send email verification, but none of their emails work anymore. And now their live chat is down. Womp.

This.
By me they’re going to close down restaurants and bars from dine in for 2 weeks (wouldn't shock me if they go further). Schools and libraries are closing. It wouldn’t shock me if my work closes for a few weeks at this rate. I have savings to get me through a few months (including cash at home should shit hit the fan trying to get money out of the bank), but I don’t see any benefit in keeping my money parked in a book for sports that are not happening until this blows over. I’d rather have it sit in Bitcoin as a backup anyway and do think it will go up once this blows over and speculating on the price can serve as my gamble. If the price continues to tank, well there’s my losses I may have incurred otherwise from betting on sports. If it goes up, well then I made money.

Side note: Finally got the verification call from 5D along with the email. Logged into the site and the cashier now has a notification:

"Please note due to the increased volume in redemptions, payouts may take from 48 up to 96 hours of an accepted request to be processed.

offshore books never faced something like this

this could last 1 month or could last 6

what do you think will happen then Opti, 6th month no new deposits?

let the people be fearful of their money, investments and else... let them have it at hand just in case this gets worst

if things get back to normal, degens will be degens and they will send $ again

No need to give books a loan for 5 months at -10% interest
