DR. Jack...need your help...clearing up BODOG Mystery...

[DosBullets]

Jack...Just got off Bodog.....seems they took out all payout options,on their website, but check by mail . I have callled and have been told that they still do Western Union. Online, at their website, however, they had the Western Union payout option....then they changed it to Money Transfer...now it's gone. Person I spoke to couldn't tell me why? Wonder if they are trying to keep WU option, low key(I hope). If you could get in touch with your contact there and get a clear answer, would appreciate it.
Sorry have to ask, I know you are plenty busy, but having a hard time getting answers myself. Thanks

[Dr. Jack]

I am not sure there is a clear answer. These guys are all scrambling working on things. I am not sure I can get a quick answer but let me send out an email and see what they say. I'll let you know what I find out by tomorrow

If their customer services agent says that WU is still available for withdraws....then do it immediately.

Don't withdraw via WU online.....withdraw by calling customer services.

Give them you name and other pertinent info.
They will process it and within a certain time frame, you call them back and ask for the transaction number.
Take that number to your local WU outlet and pick up your money.

If the amount you want to withdraw is large, you may want to make a few withdraws so as not to exceed the limits.

This is identical to depositing via WU except you are now the RECEIVER and they are the SENDER.

You have to prioritize the tasks.
There will always be another card game.
There will always be another sporting event.
Will there always be BODOG????

You make the call.

It seems to me WU is available but you have to ask through customer service and I do not think they are pickup up charges but you need to check with them

Response #1

Hi Jack,

As you can imagine, things have been crazy here post-Neteller. Here’s what I was able to find out.

All direct bank transfers (ACH) have been halted for the time being – there’s no clear timeline on when this will become available again. We are currently offering deposits and payouts through:
Credit Card
Click2Pay
NuCharge
Western Union
We are no longer processing payouts through eWalletXpress, although we are still able to process deposits. We are also able to process payouts through Check by Mail/Courier. Your players should follow up with Bodog Customer Service for full details on how to manage their deposits or payouts. I should also mention that as a result of all the upheaval, our deposit and payout options have been subject to a lot of change over the last little while, and that will probably be the case until the industry settles down a bit.

Response #2 (from regular support)

Thank you for contacting Bodog Customer Service.

The payout options we have available are Check by Mail, Check by Courier, or Western Union. Although with Western Union, the fees are not covered for any withdrawals. With Check by Courier and Check by mail, all fees are covered by Bodog. Check by Courier delivers a Check directly to your Mailing address at no extra cost.

Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-888- 263-0000 ext 2.

Best Regards,
Customer Service

When you withdraw via WU.....they deduct the fee from your account first.

[DosBullets]

Thanks Jack....last time I talked to them they said they would pick up charges for WU....guess they changed their policy again! Well it's off to the track poker tournaments for me and in search of a local...requesting a complete payout from them today...till this crap gets settled...Will keep you informed how this goes.........Thanks Skippy for input, as well .
Peace fellas

Is there any problem with withdrawing by check ?
Just curious as to why you'd prefer western union.

I just don't want a paper trail...bank records...for payouts. Through WU can stay under radar...Just sending a "friend" money or recieving it from him. Lots of transactions done like that daily. Tough for govt. to prove otherwise.

[capperdan]

Thanks dos.

I have a payout with them and am unsure what my best way to go about it is. My normal method was e-check. Would that be a paper trail as well?

Its a paper trail if it provides a direct link from the offshore to your bank account.

WU only lists a SENDER name and a RECEIVER name.

thnaks skippy

i never used wu.
e-check is what i used so i guess check in mail
is no dif. for me cause i'd be screwed anyway

That is how the offshores are still able to use WU for deposits and withdraws.

The names listed on the WU form is yours and some guy named: Hector Jesus Felipe Oscar Sanchez.

Hard to prove that Hector Jesus Felipe Oscar Sanchez is an offshore.

[capperdan]

Then how do people get blacklisted by WU?
So to sum it up you think check by mail is bad option ?
