Honestly the fact you have this question from reading that info is concerning.

Oh? Is that a remark attacking my intelligence? And this is exactly why these forums are pretty much dead to professional players now. It's now infested with smug wannabes. A simple answer would have sufficed. Have a good day.

Good to to you, as will, sir. Not a shot at your intelligence at all, just concerned maybe you were reading something that wasn't in the text you quoted.

when did you get your inbox message of when they said they shipped your check? i withdrew on the 4th and i havnt gotten any messages regarding my tracking

Hi. New to Bovada. If I deposit via debit, does this become a viable withdrawal method? Won't my bank object to such a transaction?

Check Req: 1/1

Approved: 1/2 no other info yet

Last couple months have been faster, but whatever, its not even 2 weeks yet.

My MG/WU options were disabled (temporarily, I mistakenly thought) months ago after MG flagged an attempted deposit for some random reason. When I inquire via email, they tell me to call, and when I call they just confirm that it is disabled. Anybody have any suggestions? Tier 1 support has not been helpful and I've never had prior reason to speak with a supervisor.

Alright I give up... what did you play with a few hundred to get to 20,000 plus in a day...

I'm pretty sure it was the "short stack, allin with crap" method. eBook coming soon.

withdrew 3 checks since the end of december ( 2 dec, 1 jan). have recioeved and successfully deposited 2 and am still waiting on tracking for the 3rd. gl all.

had terrible luck for my first cashout on bovada! cashed out on the dec 26 got it on jan 7, not bad at all was happy with that! go to the bank deposit it like normal everything is fine then about a few hrs later i get a call from the bank saying the account number on my check doesnt exist wtf?????? so they reversed the deposit and the pending check disappeared from my bank account! so i call bovada same old bull **** "oh i cant talk to you about this you need to email are bovada service and the can help you!" so i have been emailing back and forth now for a week with the same stupid updates " we are still waiting to her back from the provider plz give us 24 hrs" i have gotten 6 of the same emails and im getting pretty pissed cuz there not telling me anyting just to wait wtf is this crap????? has this problem happened to anybody else???

hi there same thing happened to me about the checks account number not existing! bovada is giving me a complete run around telling me to wait 24 hrs every email i get and it has been a week!! did you ever get your problem resolved cuz im freaking out over here lol?

does any know how to get a wu thasn a check from bovada im from minnesota

They have an extra digit on their coding or something. The managers usually are the only ones that know how to do it properly. They are not thinking anything is up with you. They hardly seen north checks so its just different.

: )

Got check from North and deposited it but since it was Canadian got charged a $15 fee. Will Bovada reimburse that by any chance if I ask? Thanks

I doubt it, but can't hurt to ask.

So I made my first western union cashout from NY other day. I went into the cash checking place that I have picked up several western Unions from in the past (Lock cashouts). They have all my info on file at this place but it had been six+ months since my last WU pickup. So she then proceeds to ask me 2 strange questions she's never asked before


I tell her the WU is for 2k pick-up she tells me
1.) Wu needs to know why I am gettting this transfer. I answered with "its payment/transfer from someone"
2.) What is my profession? I try to answer self employed but clerk claimed I couldn't do that so I gave the last job i had before poker.

Want to know if these questions are standard for people picking up Western Unions these days, or if there is a chance that WU is asking these questions because my account has been flagged? Just to re-emphasize this wasn't her asking out of curiosity the clerk had to write down the answers on the form. Any help would be appreciated.

I never had them ask me any questions

Nothing to worry about. They almost always asking my profession. And rarely here they ask who is it coming from. But they always asked me when I lived in Russia. In US though when I went to receive money I always expected these questions. You just have to say that it's personal transaction between you and your friend/family member. They don't even care about your profession. I once went with my friend he's been receiving ~3k. they asked him what's his profession he laughed and said "dog whisperer" and she put it on file o.O
So they don't really care they just need to fill their forms which really doubtfully somebody will be looking at in the future lol

P.S. Requested bank wire of ~5k on 2nd. Got contacted by customer support that I need to provide them local branch address (even though in bells cargo guide for international wires they ask to put specific address in SF).
I provided the address nonetheless and next day got confirmation for payment being processed. Still awaiting and will update once it'll hit my bank. Even though it's been already 12 days =\

ATTENTION:

I have been playing on Bovada for about 4 months now. In that time I've requested SEVERAL WU withdraws all but one the max ($2,000) and have paid that 10% fee every time.

I finally decided to try a bank wire bc I was sick of paying stupid 10% fee, and I am VERY DISPLEASED to say the least.

BANK WIRE REQUEST: 12/23/13

APPROVED: 12/24/13

Today is 1/14/14

IT HAS BEEN 23 PHYSICAL DAYS AND 14 BUSINESS DAYS SINCE MY REQUEST, AND FUNDS ARE STILL NOT IN MY ACCOUNT!!!

I have spent several hours on the phone with them and they always give me the same "reassure you Mr.****** blah blah blah"

They have asked me for absolutely ABSURD amount of information from my bank account (multiple screen shots of bank statements, account numbers, dates, times) and are hardly taking action on this issue.

I can't think of any reason that you wouldn't just request a check. There's dozens of posts in this thread about checks arriving in a handful of days, and there's no fee if you request one a month, or $50 if you want more. I don't understand why you would willingly pay 10% every time.

Wow that sucks. I'm 12 days in wanted to order check first too but it was 3k max and I wanted to withdraw ~5k. And since I had experience previously with bank wires thought it wouldn't be such an issue. And now I'm pretty skeptical about this issue.
My take on it is that they actually send check to your branch because it takes too much time. I've been receiving money from my family in middle east and it's been 3-5 days until money showed up in my account. And it takes too much time.
Hopefully you and me receive our money

Im not very happy with bovada either i requested a check on the 4th and still havnt even gotten any info on my tracking number. I dont get it 2 months ago my check came in 6 days.

so its been 7 business days when they quote 10 estimated and you are unhappy....
patience.

They say 4 to 7 business days

Aww man that sucks. Ya I use the same bank as you.. but i elected to do a check. I requested it on the 6th, was approved on the 7th. I'm still waiting but I know it usually takes up to 10 business days so I'm not worried yet lol.

I just switched to bells cargo.. curious if you have cashed any bovada checks there. I got the same information about bankwires from them when I open my account. Please keep us posted about your bankwire, I hope it clears asap man. Thanks again!
