BoDog, slow pay

[babs7262]

Hi
This is my first post, btw..it's nice to meet all of you

I deposited $25 through instadebit over 10 days ago at bodog, Im not asking for help because I already have something being done. I just wanted to let you know about the slow pay. Who knows, maybe Im wrong since Im a new player but when I won $500 on 32Vegas, I got my money within the 5 day period as promised.

I won $75 at bodog (i know , it's not alot but Im on SSD) I requested a payout 9 days ago (at that time it was 9) I emailed them after 7 business days telling them my deposit had to have cleared because my bank took it right away. I got an email with a "software glitch" excuse along with an apology. I waited 2 more days (11 days now) and still no payout to instadebit. I emailed them again and they denied ever saying they had an email to me on file re: a software glitch.

I got bored and took out $25 of the $75 and turned it into a $300 payout instead of just a $75 (that's what they get for taking so long). I faxed them over my documents (thank God I signed up here to get that info) and just got an email saying they will send me my money. It is now day 12, I sent in a complaint to Montana and we shall see what happens.

There is no way they didnt get my $25 instadebit deposit by now. They are taking their time and it stinks. Like I said, 32Vegas paid me in a timely fashion but this casino has been allowing me to play for almost 2 weeks and letting me win $300 when my $25 didnt clear??? I don't think so

Bodog takes forever to clear direct bank deposits. They are not the only site that does this. Just because the money has left your account, it doesn't mean Bodog has received the money free and clear. I'm sure the bank has a period of time where they can reverse EFTs due to insufficient funds. Bodog is protecting themselves from this.

Why the hell are you gambling if you're on SSD?

Why would you ask such a question? Just because someone is disabled doesnt mean they cant get some relief or enjoyment when their having a few good hours. Im not dead, I just can't stand or sit for any length of time

Im in no way poor, I have a husband that does bring in a good income and I bring in a good income with my SSD. I meant that I like to payout because I reached my wager requirments and it's good to take the money and run, no matter how small. That is why I am ahead and not behind like most people. Those $75 or whatever the amount may be add up fast when you have several coming in.

I've never had a problem with Bodog when depositing through firepay or neteller. The payout request is usually in my account within 2 hours.

$25 a week to play slots must last you ... ooh, three minutes? four minutes tops surely?

Much better than going out with friends to see a movie? I wouldnt say so ... but we all have different priorities.

You know Henry...you almost sound like you're picking up where Caruso left off. The sarcasm doesn't become you. FYI, I deposited $25 earlier this week and played for about three hours. Last week, I deposited $33 and played for about six hours. Both times I flirted with $100-$150, up and down. For us slot players, for the most part, that's all we ask for. We find it entertaining and for some of us, relaxing. As frufrugirl stated, a night out at the movies costs at least $25, and in my case, alot more as I would also have to pay for a babysitter. The constant slams, and insinuations, that people who play slots don't share a brain between them is growing very old, very fast. However, I do agree with you on one thing, and that is the people who play slots, but then complain that they lose all the time, is also growing old and tiresome. That IS part of the game, and you WILL lose a majority of the time, and they all need to accept that.

Well, as I said, we all have different priorities.

Sure, gamble on slots if its spare money you wont miss because, as you say, you are probably going to lose it all. That is playing slots for you.

I was only trying to say that the attitude of "I use the money I save from not going out to gamble on online slots" is, IMHO, not one to encourage.

In fact, if I had a friend who was doing that i would probably have a word about their priorities in life.

It is clearly an unhealthy attitude to life IMHO.

And, you know what, I think that is not even controversial or "slamming" .. just common sense.

You Know

I just don't play slots. I like playing the table games too, infact I got a full house in A.C. on let it ride for $350 and got 4 8's in vegas for $650, and won alot of hands on 3 card poker,however, I do enjoy sitting and just playing slots......not to win....to be entertained. I get a free room at the Trop EVERY week because of my slot play.....and no, it's not because I lose, because I got my win/loss for the year and I am ahead. I play smart and not on impulse. Slots are not for just no brain people. There is a skill to it believe it or not. My last win was $1100 the week of Sept 10th at the Trop. I gambled for 4 straight days (mostly on slots) and I can tell ya, I was playing with their money and it was fun. The funny thing is people say the "wheel of fortune" is a suckers bet, yet, I have won more Jackpots on that game than any other slot in a real casino. I have my own system and it works well for me

I am in no way trying to become a millionaire, nor do I whine when I lose, that's why it's called gambling. I'm not offended by anyone thinking I am brainless because I enjoy slots. Trust me, I am disabled but am very educated. I think some people are just Hubris about their gambling techniques and shun other people who don't share the same opinion

I just deposited $30 on Bodog at 8:30am and just now lost that $30 after going back and fourth ALL DAY, not minutes my friend, hours!!! Guess what? I don't care that I didnt win, Im grateful that my $30 lasted me that long. That is the difference between me and the "pros" persay
