I was really hoping I wouldn't have to post this, but this entire process of cashing out is utterly RIDICULOUS on bodog right now. It has driven me to let you guys know...
It all started by a hot streak I was on... I play a ton of low stakes tournaments, SnG's, mainly for the love of the game rather than the money/glory. I've been playing Bodog for the past 4 years now. Love the ease of the site and what they offer for the level of money I play for.
All I wanted to do was cash out $200... Really?? Is that all that hard??? Just a simple check sent to my address, and everyone is happy right? I'm not rushed for the cash, so when they reply saying it'd take anywhere from 2-4 weeks and showed up in 2, no problem. But then the fun started...
I went to deposit it, and a couple of days later it is taken out of my account along with a 10 refund fee... THE CHECK BOUNCED!!!! WTF? Seriously, a multi-million dollar business sending me a $200 check and it bounced? What a headache. Obviously, I call their oh so friendly support...
They start off by telling me that I need to call my bank and renegotiate them processing the check, there was something wrong with their bank and they issued a bunch of bad checks. My bank laughs pretty much saying in their polite professional speak "Screw you kid, it's a bounced check, there is no renegotiation." So 4 more emails and 3 more phone calls later, I need to scan the copies of returned check and email that to them or fax it over to them. I scan copies, they tell me that's not good enough, I rescan them putting them in the format they wanted, and they say OK we will send this to our financial dpt and await an email with an update. I got that update... THEY SAY FOR ME TO CALL MY BANK TO RENEGOTIATE!!!! All I wanted them to do from the beginning was reissue me a new check, with my name on it, with the amount of $200 (at this point i dont even care about the 10 buck fee), THAT WONT BOUNCE. UGH!!!!!
I was just about to deposit another 70 bucks in my account... Do I do it seeing how I still enjoy playing on the site (I've only played in experimental freerolls on the other sites to see how I like them, not too much of a fan honestly) or do I spend my money somewhere else? Please use this as a warning to others about this site.
Sorry for the length.. :banghead:
