What an awesome day for me on Bovada today, I just had to share. I'm also so glad football is back. I made a few bets for my first time, and I'm very excited. Nighty night everyone

where u from wzhong 11 to get wu payouts

how can u get wu cashouts in u live in us or can u just check

you really just need to deposit once with WU/MG to make sure that you will 100% have those options for later cashouts....

people spread a lot of rumors and misinformation on 2+2...that said, there is no denying there are people who've been allowed to cashout through WU that have never used it for a deposit.
HOWEVER, to avoid any potential issues/problems or he-said-she-saids with Bovada support, I *highly* recommend just making a simple small deposit through WU/MG the next time your at your local grocery store.

this is the best way to insure you will have these options for cashing out at a later date....besides Bovada charges a significant fee of 5% on CC deposits anyways and I believe they reimburse you for WU deposits(don't hold me to this).

good luck! bovada rocks

thanks man , merginhosman24s for the info , brcause i dont have checking account right now so that why i ask

yeah contact Bovada support...they have a real toll-free phone number and poker department that will help walk you through the process of making a WU deposit.

also make sure you use their first time deposit bonus because Bovada does not offer much in terms of rakeback/VIP deals....so its crucial that new players take full advantage of their first time deposit bonus offer. i'd deposit whatever you can afford to spare if you plan to play a significant amount because of these reasons.

good luck

i had like 35 cents when i started played a freeroll won like 7 bucks and now i have like 230 in their now never deposited on this site thats why i ask too . MerginHosOn24s

haha well done man! ....yes thats definitely a unique situation so I understand why you are asking now.

would be stupid to have to deposit just so you could withdraw your winnings so I'd definitely check with Bovada on this one...i know you said you dont have a bank account but right now their checks are flying out(less than 2 weeks from request to money in hand).

but i do have a saving account so shouldnt be a trouble i dont think to cash that check into my saving account i hope not lol

Seeing as how US banks are not allowed to cash checks specifically from online gambling, yet all gambling income must be reported to the IRS (with the potential for an audit), do yall still report online gambling income on your yearly taxes? Wouldnt that throw up red flags to the IRS or Gov for illegal activity? How do people avoid scrutiny from the IRS, etc? Im sure there is a way to do it all by the books and legal, I just dont know it. Or are we now in a constant grey area? Thanks.

why aren't they?

The fees for WU are listed in the cashier and you do not get them back. I'm also certain they are more then 5%.

You can, however, get one free check per month.

It is not illegal to win money playing poker at a casino or online.

It is illegal to evade paying your taxes.

There is no grey area here.

The fact that US banks do not want to be involved with cashing poker checks because of UIGEA is irrelevant to you or your legal responsibility to pay federal taxes on any money you earn.

Just pay your taxes and you dont have to worry about "avoiding scrutiny".

Just as a side, to be honest, even if you were selling heroin, the IRS couldnt care less, they want their money if you are making it.

Not entirely true:

Maybe if Bharara and his team catch wind of it, it could blow up into a big deal and lead to trouble?
Even if the banks just had to pay big fines, then the wrath would trickle down...

If its illegal for banks to cash checks from online gambling, is it not illegal for a player to have that income? I am not tryin to get OUT of paying taxes on my earnings, I am merely trying to figure out if it is illegal one way or the other. Obviously I would just report it as gambling income and not specify the source, but if I were to be audited, the source MIGHT have to be disclosed, yes? Can yall see where I am going with that or am I being paranoid? LOL.

It's only explicitly illegal for the banks.

Can't see where you're going, as it just seems like you don't want to pay taxes.

Why wouldn't you just read the UIGEA yourself and some articles on it yourself instead of going off 2nd-hand information in a forum.

he specifically said that hes not trying to avoid taxes lol come on

the fact is the info is skewed and meant not to b clear imo.....otherwise why would they hide it in the "ports security act"

i would suggest putting the taxes from winnings in another account or something i dunno

also its only illegal from what i read for the gambling entities to "knowingly" accept bets/wagers that use the net

I AM NOT WANTING TO AVOID TAXES!!! Clear?

If a bank is OK with cashing checks from online gambling then fine, thats on them. I just want to make sure that extra income that I have to report on my taxes doesnt come back and bite me in the ass. If the actual PROFIT from online gambling is not illegal then great, but it seems as though if its illegal for a bank to cash a check from online gambling, it would taint the money.

the banks arent ok w/cashing checks from online gambling.....just dont mention it and its not their position to ask....if they do tell em its a survey site or just tell them its none of their business which is what i would do....take the taxes out urself if ur winning alot

Thank you. Good info. Newb question, take the taxes out myself? What do you mean by this. Ill do some searching
