    Has anyone in the US attempted/received a cashout on Bodog since Black Friday? What method did you use?

    Requested a payout via check on 4/21....approved the same day......the check is on its way.....

    I'll let ya know after I try to deposit it as to whether it works....I read a few posts on 2+2 of some guys who had successful withdrawals post black friday so I'd imagine it'll be ok.....

    will post back when I find out.....

    I requested payout ON Black Friday. It was immediately approved BUT they didn't offer a check option (as I've done in the past with no issues). Instead the only option made available was the Global ePay ATM card. THis sounded cool and they sent it to me promptly. The convenience is cool (particularly if it works like they say - where, it'll only take 24 hours to reload the card for my next withdrawal).

    The lame part is the Juice. On a $2000 withdrawal, I've lost $100 to fees, interest, currency exchange issues and god-knows-what-else. Lemme break this down - because no ATM will dole out $2000 in one move (in fact, $500 was the most I could get in a shot), I got hit with 5 fees (experimenting with withdrawal numbers). $3/transaction... so that's $15 bucks gone. When I tried to withdraw $480, as my final withdrawal (accounting for the $15 in fees), it said "insufficient funds". So I figure, maybe there's some other fees, so I try $460... still "insufficient funds". So I check balance on what should be around $485, and it says I have $427. Not sure why it's this low, but I try to withdraw $420 ... still "insufficient funds." If finally let me take $400.

    BUT I should still have another $85-ish. But no one (at either Bodog, or Global ePay) can explain where the money is.

    When I ask Global ePay for an accounting of the fund withdrawal (I can see the $2000 bodog deposit on the ePay website, but nothing after that), they tell me they don't have access to that info and that I should ask Bodog.

    Bodog has a bunch of stupid responses (all typical scripted nonsense that someone made up and they all propogate). Stuff like "well, when you buy Philipine Pesos, there is a charge on the conversion... or, and if exchange rates move up or down, that could cause some fluxtuation... or and there might be some fees connected...". THis kind of bullshit went on for 30 minutes before the CS rep told me, he really didn't know anything about currency exchange rates... he was "just speculating". Such horrible crap.

    When I asked to speak with someone who actually "knew something" more, he told me he was the supervisor and there was no higher authority. He refused to put me in contact with ANYONE else.

    Seems to me, I asked to cash out $2000 and that their Phil Peso conversion issues should be on them, not me. I'm not happy about it, but I'll deal with my Bank's $3/charge, but all the rest should be made whole. At the very least, someone should be able to tell me where the $$ went.

    Maybe Nate or BodogBecky have some insight????
