So I just did a withdrawal from Sportsbook.com for $800. In the past the only viable option was to wait for a check in the mail, which could take anywhere from 3-10 weeks. Now they have a new "Debit card" option. I thought it would be a direct posting to my debit card, that I used to deposit $$. Wrong.
It is in fact a debit card from an institution that will remain nameless for my own protection. I got the card in the mail today, just 9 days after I requested the withdrawal. Super. But I remain a little nervous. To wit:
"We would ask that you DO NOT:
- Publicly discuss or expose the issuer of this card - by doing so you will lose the opportunity to receive further funds through this easy and simple method.
- Post the name of the card of information about this card on any forum or chat boards. This is a privileged card service arranged between you and your Merchant which is private and for your use only. Public discussion WILL result in the loss of this service from your provider."
WTF???
I had to call to "unlock" the card and can use it within 48 hours. Cash withdrawal fees are $1.50 and Point of Sale purchases are a buck.
I guess it's all good if I can access my funds (they give you a PIN) but what's with all the cloak and dagger??
