Is it normal for wagerweb to ask for your password when calling in?

[baz]

I am assuming yes because they do every time but how the f**** is that secure? You give out your account number and password to some person in Costa Rica you don't know that obviously is not wealthy or they would not be working at a call center, and you are supposed to rest assured no goofy stuff will happen? What is to stop them from trying to come up off an Americans account? I have been dealing with those people on and off for years. Some are shady and I'm not just saying that to behoove myself. I want nothing more than a secure place to play. They can't establish a PIN (ala bookmaker the reigning champs of Costa Rica) so the customer knows that NOBODY else has access to their account?

I think Heritage asks for the same. Always takes me by surprise and really is very concerning.

Yes. Both WagerWeb and Heritage to. They have for years. It’s very annoying and definitely one reason I don’t keep much in there at any given time

This is one reason why my account was compromised at BetUs. They asked for my password. Zeroed my account. The next day, they changed the way they do it. LOL

 

[BobbyFK]

Most sportsbooks that I have called into ask you for your password

Heritage and wagerweb won’t steal your funds.

The people running it, no. The folks they employ? not so sure. I only have a pending future in there at the moment and if it wins, I'm going to cash out otherwise I just don't feel safe playing there anymore. I have not had any issues with them, but I don't want there to be a first time.

That is BRUTAL. I'd be so mad.

One pissed off employee giving your login to one of their friends and they could cash out all your funds before you could do anything about it

Did you ever get your money back?

 

[indiana94]

No. They said they could do whatever they wanted because they deemed me "sharp" and that is a no-no for a rec book.
I had closing line value on many college basketball totals, and they hated that I'd pick them off.
