Your account is being audited ! SIA's players requesting payouts are used to hear this phrase, Intertops players are aware that the 48/72 hours between their payout request and when the payout is processed are allegedly used to "audit" their account's activity.

Do you think its fair for books to place accounts under audit ONLY when payouts are being requested ?

is this a trick question roberto. of course it's not fair. the real question that probly should be asked instead of this is. what is the real purpose of this type of tactic.

Agree with Dan. The book should do this ahead of time if they want to check into a players account. That being said, I still don't think that books that do this will ever change their policies.

books policies make sense in this case

if they audited before hand (after you make a deposit but before you make a bet), they would have to freeze you account once you had money in it and people would be complaining about that - your money woulkd be in there but you would not be able to bet with it for 24-48 hours until they verified your identity.

much easier to do it on the way out, and makes A LOT more sense from the book perspective

all an auditing is a way for the books to slow down your payout and pray you lose it all back to them. it's wrong,lowdown,dirty, and decetful.

Let me throw my two cents....

An audit is unecessary if the book has proper risk management in place, cause this is being done on all booked action 24/7. Anomalies, discrepancies, flagging and so on are done every day by routine.

I can understand if accountancy wants to verify if rollover requirements have been met and if the strings or rules attached to the mean of deposit ( credit card or e-check for instance ) have been abided to. But merely stating the account is being audited and buying anywhere between 3 to 10 days on a payout is a stall tactic that has nothing to do with a real audit procedure.

BBD,

I tend to agree with you but it seems that many gamblers are more than willing to go through some "pain" to get juicier numbers.....risk vs reward....

Posted By : bigboydan - 4/17/2005 10:56 AM

roberto, it's funny you call it pain. i'd call it brutal torcher :D

Could Intertops slow payouts be due to a hack in there database several months ago?

One would could say that's a reason.
