i'm trying to withdraw a large amount from my hollywood account in the cheapest way possible...

they cap out your daily WD limits at $5,000 for both Neteller and for checks...so a bank wire is the cheapest way to get my money from them...

BUT...

for the past couple weeks they keep telling me that they're changing their bank and that they can't do bank wires yet. they keep telling me to call back "next week"

well, 2 "next weeks" have come and gone and i'm getting a little frustrated. i don't need the money so i'm willing to wait and pay the $50 bank wire charge when AND IF i can do it...as opposed to paying $15 a pop for the 8 separate $2,500 neteller WD's i'll need...

i've only used Hollywood for a few months. has anyone else received bank wires from them? do i just have bad timing? that's what i'm guessing.

i love the book, don't get me wrong. it's one of my top 3 (along with pinnacle and cascade) but i'm getting a little annoyed at this.

Understand your frustration, but Holly has always been one of the most trustworthy books -- have no reason not to believe they're changing banks.

They should offer you your money via another method at the same fee, if indeed they are switching banks.

Two weeks is a bit long, IMO.

if you dont need the money right away i would wd 5000 via neteller which would be for free. (30 in payouts a month are free.) then i would transfer a substanial amount to cascade via book to book. play with cascade awhile, and wd through them as you can get up to 25000 via neteller per day.

You're withdrawing $20k and are worried about the extra $70 in fees. I guess you won't be buying a round of drinks with the 20k.

ha ha, you'd be surprised how quickly those WD fees can add up over the course of a year...

most people keep shitty records and don't realize how much money they could save, but i'm anal about record-keeping. $70 here, $70 there, that can really add up.

oh, and before you get too impressed by WD'ing $20k from hollywood, in the same span i was down about $10k at pinnacle and a couple grande each at a few other books...

this was just the way the bets fell, as they so often do. i just happened to win most of my plays at hollywood and ran up my account and now need to redistribute those betting units.
