    Was just informed that it will take up to 90 business days to process my payout... WHAT!?!?? I loved the cash games on here but obviously can't play here anymore, this is insane. This is only for a 27k payout, if you had 100 or so I guess they would tell you to wait about 2 years for it all. I hope I have good luck on Cake.

    Always has been 15 business days for me, 90 days seems a little excessive, OP are you telling us the whole story (like are there deposits waiting to clear, etc)?

    I haven't deposited on there since last April. Checks over 3k must be split up and each check will be sent 10 days after you recieve the previous one. So now that I reread it 9 checks at 15 business days each is closer to 135 business days. Unreal.....???

    Well....your first post was a bit misleading---it's not a 90-day wait to get a check, but rather a 10 day wait between each $3k check. I think it'd be good to clarify. I do think this has been the situation for a while there, that cashouts by check must be made gradually like that.

    For cashouts over 25K Bodog reserves the right to handle the payout however they see fit.

    In saying that, if you requested a check payout, and they have a MAXIMUM amount that they can put in any single check, lets say that is 3K for the sake of argument.

    Lets also say that their payment processor can only do a certain number of checks in any given day. If under those constraints Bodog has to cut 9 checks of 3K = 27K total, theoretically it could take 90 days to process.

    In saying that, have you contacted support and spoken to someone about other methods of withdrawl that they do have available, such as rapid transfer?

    I have found that if you do not have a system with a good video card, you may run into problems with the video rendering of the bodog software. I suggest a minimum of a 64mb video card that is not integrated into your motherboard.

    If your system has shared video memory (this means that your video card is integrated onto your motherboard and shares your system memory with the motherboard) you will have issues.

    Most people buy computers with some kind of bundle, they do not realize that they do not have a video card that is separated from the motherboard. These bundled machines will run like crap when taxed on the video side as the video card will steal the system resources.

    Have you tried bringing up your task manager (alt-ctl-del) and setting the task priority on your bodog software to "real time?"

    ipow- my guess is that you are running windows vista. When opening Bodog, right click on it and select "run as administrator". That should take care of the "bodog glitches".

    Still though, there are no excuses for bodog turning up the suck levels. It is obv a lack of effort on there part to remain competitive with other online card rooms. It took them long enough to get a special event (BPO), only 5 years. Just months ago they finally realized how to run a proper rebuy. Their regular tourney schedule is getting weaker by the day as cash games are drying up. At this point I think only 2 things can save this site, 1. allow players to play more tables, and 2. allow member to member transfers. Without this I really do not see bodog in it for the long run, unless I am underestimating its sportsbook.

    Its a love-hate relationship with bodog and while I have loved the site for over 4 years I am about to say F it.

    That restriction is not from Bodog but rather by their payment processor. You can speak badly about the site all you wish, I won't try to stop you.

    I will on the other hand point out some things that contradict your sentiments.

    A) No site other than Bodog offers as many overlays on their MTT schedule, NONE are even close.

    B) For a recreational player what other site can you join a MTT that starts at 6:30 with less than 150ppl and win over 1100? The answer is NONE other than Bodog.

    C) You will be hard pressed to find softer cash games at lower levels than on Bodog.

    D) Their customer service is at the top of the industry, with only one site even comparable.

    E) Their security department does a bang up job of protecting accounts. I do not recall people coming on here complaining about being hacked and some hacker draining the account to zero.

    F) Could the site improve, yes, they are making strides to do just that thing.

    The Beta of the new software is close to release and I am excited for the first time in a long time to see the newest version of the Bodog software.

    So, complain away about the site, I won't stop you. Just realize that there is a group of working people who appreciate MTT's that do not have 3K people and do not last 8 hrs on a work night.

    Winning a MTT is hard enough, and it seems like work to me (although I enjoy it), I'd rather put in less hours for a smaller payday and actually get some sleep on a work night. That is something I cannot do on FTP or PS, and I refuse to play on AP or UB (so I cannot and will not even mention them in any discussion I have of poker sites).

    Cheers.

    I waited 67 days for a $1100 check. That was the second time I had to wait over two month for a cashout. I doubt I'd put money on there again. Not worth the wait.

    I have never waited for more than 15 days, it would stink to wait that long, I agree.

    As I have mentioned though, they do offer rapid transfer options (which they flip the bill for) so if you really need cash faster, you can set up one of those withdrawls. I know of a few players who use that method and get their money within 24hrs.

    I appreciate the arguments for why the site is worthwhile to play on, but saying "well it's not THEM, it's their payment processor" is an awkard way of saying that they aren't running their site correctly - because they're choosing how to run that side of their business, not the third party.

    Everyone knows what Bodog is, if you don't like it then don't play there. I happen to enjoy playing there, I've never had a problem getting paid. When they tell me 20 business days its there in that time. It amazes me that people complain yet when they know it takes that long. Its says it right on the site. I know its probably frustrating to not get it at once but you knew what their cashout process (or should have known) was when you decided to play there.

    Just tired of people bashing it over and over

    The regulations that the US government passed is what is causing them the biggest problem. I am confident they are exploring all options available to them. Right now there just is not anything better in the market for them to offer for check processing.

    As I mentioned though, there are other methods of withdrawl available, other than checks.

    I don't know who is more retarded, Bodog's graphics, its tourney structure, or the players who waste their time playing what boil down to flipaments at their cash tables.

    Seriously, they make Absolute look legitimate.
