NFBC CHECKS GET MAILED TODAY!! CONGRATS ALL!!

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:50 am

We told you that Priority #1 was getting all of our NFBC winners paid in full and on time this year and we are going to deliver that promise right now. I'm proud and happy to report that STATS will begin mailing out NFBC winning checks today, exactly two weeks after the conclusion of the MLB and NFBC season.

ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR MONEY?!!!

YEAH!!!

This is the FASTEST we've ever paid our winners and it's a standard we plan to keep for all of our contests going forward. I can't guarantee it will be exactly this quick, but it's obvious that we are all committed here to paying in full and on time every time. Kudos to STATS' accounting department and IT department for making this possible because they really led the charge to make this happen.

Today more than 93% of our winning prize money will be going out the door in checks. The other 7% is still waiting to go out to owners who have not filled out W-9s yet online. Tom has emailed all of those owners -- about 30-35 -- and once we get those W-9s on file we'll send out another batch of checks. We WANT to give you this prize money ASAP, so please fill out those forms online.

We've also split the prize money for those owners who sent in those split prizes forms by Oct. 5th. Going forward, we'll have an easier format to allow you to split the prizes. We will continue to split prizes for you in future contests as long as everyone follows the guidelines we've set forth.

Okay, so look for your winning checks in the mail. ALL winners have been paid. We did not roll over any prize money and all free entries have been paid the equivalent in cash. We will not provide free entries going forward. We are receiving in full and paying in full. That way there is full disclosure and full transparency between the game operator and the customers.

You've earned the prize money and now you are receiving it in record time. ENJOY!!! And remember to set some of that aside for 2012 entries. We'll have the 2012 Registration page set up soon and a signup list on the Message Boards shortly. 2012 is about to begin!!! THANKS ALL!!!

In a time when some of us wonder if we'll ever get paid by another contest, there's the NFBC not only working feverishly to make sure we get paid, but to do it in record time as well.

Greg, Tom, & STATS.....class acts one and all.

A simple handshake will do!!

I'm glad everyone is happy with this news and I'm glad everyone can see how hard everyone here is committed to making sure payments is NEVER an issue in the NFBC or NFFC. Everyone at STATS is committed to doing this quickly and fully with every contest going forward. It's not that hard to pay in full and to pay in time and we will continue to lead in that direction going forward.

Just an FYI: All checks were printed yesterday and most were mailed out. Some of the biggest ones still needed one last verification of the amount and will be in the mail ASAP. Everything is on target for a quick delivery, but don't fret if someone receives their check one day sooner than you do. Your check is coming if you filled out the W-9. Thanks and CONGRATS all.

Very impressive in an industry that has had more than their share of negative press. It is nice to know that when you participate in the NFBC all you need to be concerned about is your own team and not if you will get paid if your are lucky enough to win. GREAT JOB!

Yeah, I heard from a few others who got their checks on Saturday and today. Glad to have them in your hands before the World Series begins. I think we can make this an annual tradition!!

CONGRATS to all of the winners and thanks for publicly thanking our accounting and IT staffs. They are the ones who made this happen.

Got my check on Saturday, Thanks for the Speedy Turnaround!

Everything was perfect on it, but hopefully it will be about $100,000 heavier next year now that I am getting back in the Main Event Ring!!! DING DING!!!!!

Glenneration X · Post by **Glenneration X** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 11:35 am

I received my check today. To receive the check so quickly shows that you really care about what your customers think....and we do think very highly of the way you take care of us. Thank you Greg, Tom, and STATS. It's appreciated.

got my check today. THANK YOU GREG/TOM/STATS

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 12:34 pm

Wow, even the East Coast folks got their checks quickly. STATS must have a better relationship with the mail service than my other past companies.

This is great news and a standard we will keep going forward. NFFC owners can expect the same type of payment plan this year, which should come as a pleasant surprise for those past WCOFF owners who are now in the NFFC.

Enjoy the money, but remember to set a little aside for this year's NFBC events!!!

Don't spend ALL of it.
