because they would like to actually keep the option this time around

My payout was approved by Bodog on 1/27/2008 and still no check. I jave called and I get the same answer it is on the way. How long does a check by Fed Ex actually take. Thanks in advance.

requested 1/29 and no check or tracking number. i think the bounced checks probably backed them up.

Hamsterdam, Thats what I was thinking. As long as I get it soon, it's all cool.

My payout was processed on 01/31, and their customer support said I should receive a tracking number by 02/06.

****...still havn't gotten my tracking number and I had mine processed on Jan 28th.

i called bodog and they said im getting some master card that is preloaded
w cash. sounds like the weirdest thing ive ever heard of.
they said it should get here within a few business days.

this cashout for 7k i put in maybe 3 wks ago.

ill believe this when i see it

ill be happy when somebody get there check i withdrew 1/28/08 and it was just a lil $500 dollars i still havnt got mines. but it took 5 days earlier in jan. i would like to know whats the hold up. i guess this teach me not to make plans with money i dont have

Guys - I got two checks pending, one was a bounced check for 2500 - another is a SuperBowl cashout from Sunday.... Here is the response from Bodog on tracking numbers:

Has anyone tried the check by US Mail?? I can't imagine it being that bad and maybe that will go faster....the guy I talked to on the phone did try to push it on me.

That option is not there.

I also got the e-mail that my check might bounce. The payout was for 3100.00. I haven't received notification from my bank yet if it has or not. It was from a payout requested on 1/18.

I use Bodog for payouts, and the checks always arrive within 4 days. I also am able to have the money directly deposited in my checking account from pokerstars. A few months ago, bodog stopped using western union, but before they did, payouts arrived within 2 days. If i requested it monday night, i could go get it on wendsday. Now bodog uses WU again, and i think it is the best option, even though the checks are pretty quick. WU is way better than the echeck option as a deposit, because you do not have to wait 3 weeks for your deposit to clear, it is instant

Am I the only one that feels it's a bit shady picking up a person to person, out of the country, wires from the grocery store?

I would love to see Bodog add EFT cashouts to the checking account again, as I believe they have had them in the past. This is the thing I miss most from the Party days (besides people calling 3 bets cold with bottom pair ) and I understand Stars has now. Having my money in 1-2 business days and never having to leave the house or more importantly deal with nosey people at the bank etc.

As far as the checks taking 3 weeks to clear, you are either using hyperbole or need a new bank. Mine take 4-5 bus. days max. I also like the checks come from a processing company and look legit and professional.

I look forward to more information from you guys about other payout options.

Thanks.

it used to feel weird getting the money by western union. the grocery store i go to usually just has a 17 year old girl or some pimpled faced dude who processes it so fast and acts like he just doesnt care. id rather go through this than have an older person at the bank raise their eyebrows when depositing my check.

In what form do they give you your money? MO, check, cash? Do you have any choice in it? Like asking for 1000 cash and 2k in check or something?

the rapid transfer in moneygram and you can only withdrawal if you deposit min is $100

spoke to customer support just now since im waiting on 2k proccessed the 31st from checks that previously bounced

i ask to use the moneygram for payout and she says you can only use it if you deposit with it, so i ask for information on how to deposit with it and how much is the minimum, ill go deposit right now. she then comes to the conclusion that my check is on its way and stuff totally not replying to what i said... i i then ask about why the checks bounce and she goes 'ummm proccessing error um um NSF which means not suffient funds ummm ummm number one prioirty umm umm'

i dunno it was pretty sketchy, hope i dont get ****ed for this.

Great. Let's hope that just the tracking numbers are delayed, which I doubt. Hopefully, they even have a check processor in place.

tobad, Thanks for the info on rapid transfer. Are you saying a check issued the Jan 31 bounced? I hope I am misunderstanding.

My cashout was approved the Feb 4. I have yet to receive a tracking number email. If anyone has gotten a check or tracking number from around that time please post. Hopefully, they won't send bad checks this time.

I will keep this thread updated. Crossing fingers.

Had my bounced checks switched to WU. Got the money in about 3 days. Bodog is just fine. I spoke with someone who was a manager with them and he said this is the 3rd time in about 15 months that this has happen. I am guessing that their check processors are being shutdown or pressured by the US Government and banking industry and this is the fallout. Bodog just switches processors and everything is fine for a few more months.

Just as shady as getting WU payments from random 3rd world countries at the grocery store. I blame the government for this stuff though, not Bodog.

My checks were originally processed on the 21st and i got the reissued one on the 31st.



I asked for WU right away when i called them on the 31st and they didnt give it to me.

no fair.

So have you gotten the reissue from the 31st yet? If so, has it cleared your bank?

Thanks for the info.

I have never deposited at Bodog and just requested a $500 WU payout today. I will keep you posted on the results since they "say" that this option is only availavle if you deposit via this method.

Because I live in Memphis (Fedex HQ), previous payouts via courier check took 2 days to arrive. Even though it's 2nd day air, Fedex always deliveryed it next day.

got my tracking number today. approved on 1/29

that's the first good news i've heard about a bodog payout in weeks. let us know if your check clears.
