[Bodog] Bovada/Ignition payout thread for US players (DO NOT post bank names) - Page 203 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

LOL nobody wants to take this check. My major bank's ATM wouldn't take it. My smaller bank said that they don't accept international checks. And just because I want to be done with Bovadadog I went to the shady check-cashing place that will take foreign drug money checks and the guy said "Ehhhh, I don't know about this one".

Looks like I'll have to see if CS will cut me another check that I won't get until February.

Get a better bank. I use the overnight drop box instead of the atm.

The check he is talking about, no bank wants to deal with (personal experience).

Either way I was able to have this check cancelled and requested another check. Unfortunately they couldn't assure me that I could get a check from a US bank, or even one associated with a US bank.

How do you know they take foreign drug money checks? Pls send samples.

approved 12/13 still waiting.

I requested a rapid transfer of $800 yesterday which took only a few hours. Much easier and quicker if you want the money fast. The fee is $60 for rapid transfer of $800

Will deposit today

I deposited with the bank teller and she did not say anything was going to be wrong with the check. A day later the funds were cleared in my account and then either today or yesterday I think the check was sent to international collections and the funds removed.

You think I should call bovada CS or just see what happens?

Rapid Transfer = MoneyGram ($800 max)
Money Transfer = WU ($2,000 max)

Steep fees for both.

Posted this on the Merge deposit withdrawal thread also but wanted to ask here as well.

I was wondering the other day, If poker sites choose to use only foreign banks to hold and process transactions, does that keep them safe(r?) from the DOJ?

Or can the foreign banks be targeted/shutdown still?

I requested a check today for 2k. I have enough in my acct to cover it and they won't let me withdraw with an error msg :My acct balance can't cover the withdrawal..WTF? I email them and they can't tell me why. Just call CS

Does anyone know how their bonus dollars work? I got a free 20$ bet and hit a parlay. The money is now in my bonus balance and CS couldn't explain crap to me about why I can't withdraw these funds.

While this might be true one would think that the success rate (ie not bouncing) SHOULD BE much higher with foreign checks then those drawn locally... I have no evidence but seems logical...
