Further, they've had trouble paying and recently lied to me about a payout--I requested a check by courier, didn't receive it for a week, asked them, they said they sent it by USPS since they don't do courier after I requested it (when my address doesn't get USPS). Now, 2 weeks after that, they told me they're now doing it via WU, so they were actually lying to me the whole time about sending it out via USPS.
I liked bodog but recently had some trouble with a payout from them, it took over 2 weeks. They would flatout lie to me- I would recieve an e-mail saying that the check has been processed and was on the way, and a few days later another saying that the money would be coming another way. Meaning that the first statement was untrue. At this point I would avoid them.
Interesting. In my case, I aim to make one withdrawal every month since January.
In January, after the Pinny shut-down, I requested a w/d via "Money Transfer" (via WU). Then, after that weekend, they e-mailed me themselves and offered to change to the new "Check by Courier" w/d option which I accepted. It was about a week later where I got it via FedEx just fine.
For February, thinking about how January was not bad, I requested "Check by Courier" again. I requested it on the 14th, trying to be earlier in the month, etc. On the 21st, I politely emailed them and they advised me that "I should get the tracking number between 7-10 business days; and today's the 4th business day so you should get the info sometime next week". I told myself, "alright, I'll simply wait then."
They also shared information that they changed processors and no longer can offer "Check by Courier"; just "Check by Mail (Priority Post)" or "Money Transfer (Western Union)".
This morning was the 10th business day, and I emailed them again. They said that "due to a processor problem, they can't use that option anymore". Guessing the old processor screwed Bodog & now I told them to send it via Check by Mail. It'll be 5-7 more business days, but I don't see who's really at fault here anyway.
Have cashed out from Bodog 2 times via western union since neteller went down - they cover all the fees and the pickup info was in my inbox within 24 hours of requesting the payout. Totally painless and convenient
Question, PKJ. How do you deal with requesting the funds from a western union location? Do you ask for a check or request cash? Any issues with any transactions over $1K? Just wondering as I'm all ready to use WU next time for March w/d!!
