Prizes To Go Out On Friday

[Lunatic]

Hopefully the money shows up later this morning. It would be a complete debacle if it didn't. Please keep us posted throughout the morning

If the money was deposited yesterday, it would be there already, wait, let me go check, nope, not there

If it isn't there already, it isn't coming today or Sunday.

If that is in fact true, I'm a little surprised you guys are being so calm after it appears u were lied to by STATS accounting

[Lunatic]

Well, my life doesn't depend on it and I believe ACCOUNTING doesn't read this MB; so, all I can do is laugh at the incompetence of STATS; BTW, where is the weasel who had the WCOFF comment, oh, he didn't win any money.

maybe this is true "we can now say that prize checks and direct deposits will begin going out on Friday. "

How many were sent out and successful? I would love to hear from someone who was fortunate enough to have gotten that new promise fulfilled by Stats. This is the last league (national and local) that has not paid out to me

I hope newbies and/or potential new customers aren't reading this thread.

Updated the first post - Prize checks and Direct Deposits will go out on Friday.

I think I have figured out the confusion. We all assumed Tom was referring to Friday, November 6, 2015. Turns out he was just letting us know that if Stats ever does send payment it will be on a Friday.

Maybe, STATS Accounting is working today on a very, very important project that has a deadline.

The Direct Deposits are in the mail, and checks should hit your accounts shortly.

Or is it the other way around?

[Quack]

What is the over/under before we can ANY response from any STATS employees? I will establish the line at 10am Eastern and go over

[Gekko]

10am eastern on MONDAY is the earliest

With hundreds of leagues and thousands of prize winners this year the prize payout process took a little bit longer than past years. We apologize for the slight delay but can now say that prize checks and direct deposits will begin going out on Friday.

ANYONE get a Direct Deposit yet?

[Lunatic]

No Direct Deposit

Unfortunately Stats is strong in the wrong 2 out of 3.

[Cocktails and Dreams]

I assume the insurance portion for the bonus was included in my check that was "sent Friday", due to the length of time that has passed?

[Timcards]

I'm going to assume the delay is due to an issue with the audit. The money isn't cleared to be released. Somebody has been double-dipping in the kitty. Or someone took a trip to Turks and Caicos. See how much fun speculating can be when all we have is broken promises?

[Timcards]

The only way we're going to find out the truth is for someone to make this story, (which this is now, a story,) national. Let the industry know that the NFBC is having issues paying winners for the 2015 season. Do I think we'll eventually get paid? Yes. But broken promises indicate a bigger issue than "a untimely project".
I'm going to go watch my son play soccer and try and forget about this for awhile. But we've been lied to, again.

[Teufel Hunden]

Funny. Since we have not heard a peep from Stats I took a look at football message board. Tom has been very active on there this morning. Guess he just forgot to check in on baseball boards.

Prizes began going out on Friday. Did all prizes go out? No not all did. However, the process has begun and ALL prize winners will be paid soon without question. There is no reason to believe otherwise and I'm astonished anyone, especially veteran players, would even imply it. Once again Greg and I apologize for the delay in prizes going out this year. It was unexpected but the good news is the process has begun and all of our prize winners will be paid real soon.

I'm not sure what more I can add. If there's a change in the prize payout process we will provide an update. But if nothing changes then I don't think further updates are necessary. I believe Greg will be making a post in reply to all this as well so I'll leave the rest to him.

With all due respect Tom I was communicated to on October 14th that everything was into accounting and checks and DD would go out on hopefully the 23rd but no later than October 30th. There is then a one week delay communicated via the boards. It is now November 7th and with all of the negative publicity surrounding the industry you are "Astonished" that anyone is feeling a bit uneasy?

I'm sure it's coming, but I am tired of checking my bank account every hour. Stats needs to step up and tell us exactly what to expect, in my opinion of course.

So, what is the problem with Direct Deposit?? This is actually BS;
