Would like to know if its different because of these Bodog Changes and hearing cashouts taking longer. I know its for checks but what about western union/ MG cashouts?

Been working fine for me did both last week

Was it drawn on an out-of-country bank?

It is filled out by hand.

First time I've seen either of these things in maybe 20 checks this year. None has bounced before.


Do you think this check is more likely to bounce? Should I deposit in an ATM?

Any other advice?


Thanks very much.

I dunno, but this is not looking good.

I've got a large check coming and I don't want to walk into my bank with a hand-written check from the Bahamas after I've had 2 bounce since Black Friday.

Could just be b/c of a large number of recent payout requests due to the update.

I'm trying to get used to the update, but it's not easy. Keep timing out, overlapped tables, no preferred seat, etc.

Meant to say "bumped from 7 to 15 days".

Others have confirmed this in other threads.

Yeah, I def doubt that BoA atms will take hand-written checks. I've never tried though, but I bank there too.

Very obv why the ATM wouldn't take the check if it's as you described. ATM needs to be able to read the check

I received a check from the Bahamas. The check cleared. No problem. It was handwritten as well. Their routing numbers are different thats why the ATM won't read it. The bank teller told me this. The tellers can't scan it either. They have to manually input the deposit.

BOA ATMs do accept hand-written checks normally. I've deposited quite a few over the years (though none from poker).

It has now been changed to 3 weeks

Hand written checks from Bodog lol, get your money off. Bodog doesn't care about the poker player! Their software is not secure and with the new update bugs out there with the anonymous tables hackers are already working on learning to hack player accounts.
