Bodog payout delays

**Krashman** · 03-17-17, 11:55 AM

I use them, no issues. I always take the free check payout option.

**Robert7777** · 03-17-17, 12:04 PM

Thanks for the reply. I choose the wire transfer option because I assumed it would be quicker. My issue isn't with the wait time (5-10 business days) after the payment is processed, it's the fact that it's been 5 days now and the haven't even processed it yet. It was supper to be processed in 2 days, and it's now been 5 days and they still haven't processed it.

Anyways I appreciate the reply. I'll update this thread if/when the payment is finally processed. I'm just not impressed at all with Bodogs service right now.

Sorry for typos

**Robert7777** · 03-17-17, 07:55 PM

Called again to check the status- was told the same thing. They're (supposedly) working to get money sent out as soon as possible. They're (supposedly) busy with other withdrawl requests so that's why they haven't completed my withdrawl yet..

but from what I've read in various forums this is the same thing they tell a lot of people requesting withdrawals. They're (supposedly) always very busy processing other withdrawals...there is a thread in 2+2 poker forum regarding payouts being delayed for months, and some of the people that have been screwed by Bodog posted copies of the emails Bodog sends them and they were literally the exact same ones they've sent me.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do if they don't send my money in a reasonable amount of time? Or can anyone tell me if they've had this same problem with Bodog taking forever to process a withdrawl? The more I read about Bodog on forums, the more worried I'm getting about this process dragging on for a LONG time...I don't mind waiting a few days after the 24-48 hours it's supposed to take them to process the withdrawl but the longer it takes, and the more I read about them doing/saying the exact same things to many other people, the more frustrating this is becoming.

Even when (or IF) they process my withdrawl it's going to take 5-10 business days for bank transfer to go through which is absurd. Any other ola e wends a bank transfer it goes through in 2 days at the most, but Bodog for some reason needs up to 2 weeks for it to go through.

**michael777** · 03-17-17, 08:39 PM

never had a problem,they have been paying me by bitcoin in 2-3 days,don't worry,you will get paid

**Krashman** · 03-17-17, 08:43 PM

I don't think you have much to worry about, Bodog is an a rated book.

It's also not unusual at any book for them to take longer than the stated times.

After years of experience doing this, I've learned to be patient. Give them the stated time, then go ask NICELY what's up... if you get too pushy they seem to just make you wait longer.

If you're fed up with waiting, your best and only other real option is to file a complaint with SBR.

**Robert7777** · 03-17-17, 08:47 PM

They keep trying to talk me into bitcoin. I'm not really interested in doing that though. And like I said I don't mind the 5-10 business days wait for the money to go through to my bank once it's released from Bodog, my issue is how long it's taking them to release it. And once I started reading many other comments in other forums about Bodog delaying weeks/months to send people money it just infuriated me.

A lot of people in these forums complain about not getting $500 (or less)- I'm waiting on a $9500 payment. I hope people can understand my concern- If somebody owed owe almost $10,000, and all you've heard is how that person is notorious for not paying when they should, I'm sure you'd be concerned as well.

Wire is one of the slower methods but you will be paid. Choose bitcoin if you want faster.

You can send in a sportsbook complaint form and SBR will try to help if you end up needing it.

Not sure what you have been reading on 2+2 but that's probably to do with poker players and ignition, who took over the poker that was there.

**Robert7777** · 03-17-17, 08:51 PM

And I've used bet365 in he last and had no issues with them sending money within literally 2 days. Bodog hasn't even released my money after 5 days, and then I STILL have to wait another 5-10 business days for it to actually be put into my account. I don't know how a site that does that can have an "A" rating in all honesty...

**Robert7777** · 03-17-17, 08:55 PM

As for why I was reading 2+2 forum- I had just googled "payout issues with bodog" and that's somethin that came up. Only reason I had mentioned that was because the emails people were showing on there were literally word for word the exact emails they've been sending me (and yes, I realize they're probably the same generic emails they have customer service reps send out to any email they receive about payouts) but that's sort of my whole issue...the fact that they even have generic auto reply emails about why it's taking so long to payout players. Obviously it's an ongoing theme with their site.

**Optional** · 03-17-17, 09:03 PM

If you choose to not accept the faster payment method they are asking you to use, then use your patience. They gave you the choice. Accept the consequences.

And whatever you have read elsewhere, you will be paid.

**Robert7777** · 03-17-17, 09:08 PM

I appreciate the reply, and I'm not trying to argue with you- but I've gotten bank transfers from bet365 in 2 days. That's why I chose bank transfer rather than the hassle of setting up bitcoin account just to get paid from a site that offers the payout method I already use elsewhere.

and again just to clear this up- my issue isn't about how long the wait will be to go into bank once the funds are released, my issue is how long it's taking them to realse the funds. Even if I was using bitcoin they would still have to release the funds in order for it to be sent to bitcoin account and I'd still be having the same issue.

It'll probably be about their payment processor only being able to manage a certain number of wires/$$ per day that way. Because of past connections with US facing operations they likely have to use 'gambling friendly' banks and won't have the same options a Bet365 have. I am not in the US either so am used to being paid pretty much straight away by any method I like too. So I get that this seems poor by comparison but it's really just inconvenient and no need to be concerned about actually seeing your money.

Not sure if you are aware but bitcoin will be cheaper on fees than a wire as well as faster.

**Robert7777** · 03-19-17, 09:05 PM

It's been a week now. They still haven't released my funds. Not sure how a multi million dollar company can just choose to payout players their winnings whenever they feel like it. Last email I got from them said they would be giving me an update "shortly" on the stairs...that was 2 days ago now...my patience is running thin with these people.

i filed a complaint with SBR and have yet to receive a response from them either.

**Robert7777** · 03-19-17, 10:10 PM

How long should a withdrawal take to be sent

Made a withdrawal request from Bodog a week ago. Was told it would be processed in 24-48 hours. It's been a week and they still haven't sent the funds. I've only ever used bet365 before and my withdrawal are always in my bank within 2 days and Bodog not only tells me it's goin to be a 5-10 buisness day wait for funds to be in account but its been 7 days and they haven't even sent the funds yet...

So I guess my questions would be:

How long is a "reasonable" amount of time to wait for funds to be sent?

and how is it that they can just send the funds whenever they feel like it? I've read stories about people waiting MONTHS for payouts from Bodog, how can they do that and get away with it?

Not sure why I'd have to be a SBR "pro" to post something. I googled Bodog payout delays and saw this site (as well as a few others) and thought this would be good place to ask.

**Dirty Sanchez** · 03-19-17, 10:17 PM

Well Young Robert...you seem to be in a pickle...and to be honest...I would call you local authorities and make a complaint

**Robert7777** · 03-19-17, 10:17 PM

2 months? They quite 24-48 hours and it would take 2 months to get a payout?

**Robert7777** · 03-19-17, 10:19 PM

i doubt the cops could do anything. Although you can sue companies in small claims court for up to $25,000. That would be my next option if they continue to not pay money that's owed.

**pilebuck13** · 03-19-17, 10:23 PM

Don't fuk with boshit learned my lesson after last time it took me over a month to receive my money. Go with bookmaker or 5dimes man

**biggie12** · 03-19-17, 10:26 PM

7 business days and then i would start to worry

I've definitely learned my lesson. I thought I'd try Bodog out because I see them advertised a lot where in live (Toronto Canada area) and they offer some different prop type bets that bet365 doesn't offer. So I thought I'd try it out. I deposited $450 and had a good run and got up to a little over $10,000. The payout options are bitcoin (which I have no interest in), courier a cheque (which takes 15-20 business days) or wire transfer (which takes 5-10 buisness days) so I went with the quicker option.

My issue isnt even the 5-10 buisness day wait for it to go into account, it's the fact it's been a week and they haven't even released the funds yet (the money is still in my Bodog account)

I'm thinking they just leave it in there hoping I'll gamble it away (I make a lot of bets and for $500-$1000 wager) and they won't have to pay it. But there has to be some sort of limit on how long they can take to release funds.

i know the online betting site laws can be a bit sketchy, but if a person or company owes you money there has to legally be a limit on how lon they can take to pay.

You live in Canada and you don't use Pinnacle?

And you'd rather use Bodog?

Wow.

**Robert7777** · 03-19-17, 10:50 PM

Well, as I've stated in previous messages- I use bet365 usually and have never had any issues with them. I tried out Bodog because they had a couple prop bet lines that bet365 doesn't offer. I never planned on using the site for that long but I ended up making about $10,000 off my initial deposit (my original goal was $3000) but a had a good week.

Yah man your a Canadian on bodog wtf anyways yah dude there dragging there feet fill out a complaint form in sbr someone can give you a link and they will contact them on your behalf. Just keep calling them. And obviously don't bet the money. You will be paid guaranteed it will just take forever

**unde0087** · 03-19-17, 10:50 PM

file a complaint with the sbr staff if it drags on, they will step in and see what is going on

I did that a few days ago and have yet to hear anything from them. I got the auto email that gets sent that includes my message but I haven't actually received any sort of contact from SBR, which is really what I was hoping for.

i just don't get how a company can pay you whenever they feel like it. I didn't go to make a withdrawal because I wanted the money a year from now...and after I googled "Bodog payout delays" I've read many comments from people saying there had Bodog do the same thing to them. They posted emails from Bodog customer service and they're literally word for word he same things they've sent me.

**Robert7777** · 03-19-17, 10:59 PM

And what's even more confusing is how a site that's pulled the delay payment tactics in numerous people has an "A" rating in this site...

Bro your not going to change anything in here, nor are you going to get your money any faster. I understand trust me I do bro, I had a bovada manager tell me basically to not threaten them, which I wasn't and that it wouldn't work out to well for me. Play the waiting game, guaranteed you will be paid, make your complaint heard. Which you are doing now and move on sbr will contact you give it time 👌

**Robert7777** · 03-19-17, 11:14 PM

Not trying to change anything. Just came on this site to ask from fellow sports betters if they've had the same situation with Bodog (since it's supposed to be one of the more legit betting companies) and how long they've had to wait for payouts

as for my comment about the "A" rating, that's just my honest opinion. I've read a lot of people (on various sports betting sites) saying Bodog has pulled delay payment tactics with them, so I'm just a bit confused on how a company that's known for doing that is one of the higher rated companies. I'm also confused about how a fairly legitimate company can just choose to pay you out whenever they feel like it. You'd think there would be some sort of limitation on how long they could take...if you owe a company money and you don't pay your debt by a certain amount of time you can get charged interest, or have them send you to collection agency, and it goes against your credit rating, etc. so I'm just confused on when its the other way around (the company owes you money) they can just pay it whenever they feel like it...

Can't go wrong with bet365

In the bank 2 days
