Account Audit

[Blowfish]

Has anybody ever had their payout held up for an account audit? Do sports books really audit an account and if so, what are they checking? This excuse seems to be happening more frequently as the slow season rolls along.

That was one of the earliest known excuse/scams for a slow pay. I remember one book like 4 or 5 years ago that claimed it couldn't pay ANYONE because an audit was being conducted which they had no control over.

The only reason an account would need to be "audited" by the book themselves, is if there are requirements that were needed to be met for bonuses for example. But that can be done in minutes.

The books I have worked for have always used the audit excuse when needed a stall tactic. Sometimes they did want to check duplicate accounts or casino play, or how many times the costomer bet, but usually if it lasted more than a day or two, it was just stalling. Managers would disappear and not take the calls and we would just be told it would take a couple more days and that is what we had to tell the costomer.
