Bodog Payout Time

(Editor's note: While current as I write this, obviously these things change rather rapidly in the online poker world. Would it be too much to ask to have legitimate online poker?)

I made my first withdrawal from Bodog today, and there are 4 options. I was curious about them, so I called customer service. All of the information below came from one very helpful call (hold time 10 sec.), and she was even nice enough to find out the Arizona-specific clauses. W00t for Bodog customer service, once again.

Money Transfer and Rapid Transfer are the Western Union-type options (one is MoneyGram®, the other is...I dunno). However, to use these, they require a successful deposit through this method first. They will cover the fees if that deposit is over $200. And 1 transfer per day, so would require a deposit today, then can withdraw tomorrow.

However, some Arizona thing requires a payout to be paid in less than $500 increments through these options, so unless I choose to make several trips to the grocery store...

Check by Mail and Check by Courier are available, which is the way I went. Courier means FedEx-type company. I'll let you know how long it takes, they claim 15 business days.

I deposited through eWalletExpress, and I am very happy with them. So, Bodog, if you're listening, can you add that as a payout method? Especially since I've already used it to make a deposit, and I see that they are still available for deposits. Thanks!

Bodog checks by courier take approx 1 month. you can request a Bodog debit card for faster withdrawals.

Sweet! Good to know, hadn't heard of this at all.

I just sent the email requesting one. I will follow-up on this as well.
