A Donnie Darko Easter

Easter weekend always dangles more than enough carrots before hungry sports bettors -- MLB baseball, NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, this "little" sport called soccer, boxing, and now even Mixed Martial Arts.

However, Easter weekend is a huge boon for sports books and local bookies...because bettors that have children or a heavy "spiritual" investment that includes church at least once a week, are unable to handicap games as normal due to family and religious obligations.

As if the Easter bunny dumped a giant rabbit turd into my Easter basket, my favorite online sportsbook has suspended my account for possible fraud...even though my last dozen payments are all connected with legitimate Visa debit (gift) cards purchased at REAL stores with REAL money.

Has anyone else experienced repeated problems depositing funds online with credit/debit/gift cards on the weekend...or have I really reached Scarface status in the world of online sports betting?



   

Sports Interaction Card Processing Issue

Is anyone else having credit/debit/gift card issues using Sports Interaction over the last 48 hours?

The site normally has reliable and swift processing, but according to a rep I spoke with a few hours ago, due to "high volume" the processing system could not complete the transaction.

They have posted a message I have not seen before, stating that card transactions process best on weekdays and mornings.

I have only experienced this problem with Sports Interaction once before...and thusly I was unable to get the card transaction to process until early Sunday morning.

If anyone knows any further info, or can offer advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Logans Love

Logans regulars, rejoice! The site has redesigned its betting interface...so that even 80-year-old compulsive gamblers clearly know what and who they are wagering on.

Joking aside, Logans has been incredibly reliable from the start,

Most credit/debit cards are accepted, and if a problem arises, a toll free number is given that allows one to speak to a rep for other card processing options.

Logans has fabulous customer service. I have never had to wait even five minutes to get a live agent, Agents are very polite and speak great English. For example, most recently a rep called me a "wonderful man." In almost ten years of marriage, my former wife never said that.

Finally, a bank wire withdrawal has never taken more than an actual week (seven real time days) to process. Logans provides one free withdrawal a month, but be advised that, depending on your bank, other fees may be assessed.

Logans may lack the cross-sport parlays many online sports bettors love, but everything else is tight and solid as a fresh boob job.

How Sports Interaction Made My Weekend

Hello again, damsels and degenerates. More often than not, we Covers faithful find ourselves reading negative threads about some of the online sportsbooks featured on this site. However, I must give a great King Serf shout out to the customer service department at Sports Interaction.

I opened an account because I really loved the site's look, feel, broad betting options, and multiple deposit options. Unless you are lucky enough to live in Las Vegas or know several "trusted" local bookies, an online sports bettor must branch out to multiple online sportsbooks.

Due to a recent fascist situation with my bank, still unexplainable by one of those "financial wizards" one must wait to see, I was unable to use Sports Interaction's popular eCheck option.

All of the sudden, my cell phone rang and a polite, clearly understandable young lady introduced herself. She was a customer service agent from Sports Interaction, and even though she was unable to resolve the eCheck issue, she offered advice and set up a call back for later in the evening.

Right on time, 7:30 p.m. CST, I received a call from another Sports Interaction rep, Missy...though, honestly, she sounded like a man. No matter, "Missy" had an idea. She/he gave me extensive information about a Visa debit card available at Walgreen's stores ($30, $50, $100) that is generally referred to as a Gift2Go card -- www.gift2go.net He/she told me to beware of the phrase "U.S. domestic use only" on the card, or a...
