I've been wagering on sports online for 13 years, and have been a loyal Bookmaker customer for about 6 years. Probably the best sportsbook I've ever been associated with. I've never had any problems with payouts with them, that's why this whole situation I'm currently in has really thrown me.
I requested a payout on 10/13 for check byFedEx for $3000, and received it on 10/20. I chose this method because of the amount I wanted to take out, and the last time I ever requested a payout by check, there was never an issue, so it didn't cross my mind. I would always use WU and MG, as well as bank wire. Anyways I chose this method, and wish to God I hadn't. I deposited the check on 10/21 into a new bank account. I was told there would be a hold until 11/1, perfectly fine. I was then told by my bank on 10/28, that the check was showing as being fraudulent. The check looked questionable, which made me nervous to begin with. The branch manager said he tried googling the bank, and a sex website popped up. And of course he asks if I can give him additional info about where the check came from, which I of course cannot.
I have tried contacting Bookmaker on a daily basis since 10/28, and I'm being told it's a processor issue. On 10/31, the processor emailed Bookmaker, saying to wait for an update. And today, the processor told Bookmaker that the check cleared on 10/24. The money shows in my bank account, but there's a hold on it from the bank. What a mess! And I really don't know how to proceed. Any insights anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.
