I would try again with a diff teller....if that doesnt work and you dont want to change banks ask for a manager and pitch a fit.

They actually deposited it and called later and said they won't take checks from the north. Was told they are going to credit my account and they gave back the check. Going to try a different branch. Will update.

Finally some progress! Got contacted by Bovada today regarding my BW withdrawal. They informed me that I have to get contacted by my bank and asked where transfer is originated from. That's odd that I haven't been contacted earlier. It's been almost 2 months. =\ And I'm wondering if I should give a call to my bank myself (which I've been advised not to do by bovada rep o.O)
Anyways to smooth my case somehow they credited my account with $100 which is somewhat nice if it'll be followed by fast resolution of my case.

Requested $250 2/14
Approved 2/15 ( 4 hours later )
Arrived 2/19

New to site. No BS so far

I pick up my check on a FEDEX location 02/20 - deposited (BOA). No problem. Done.

Thank you BOVADA!

Is Western Union a safe deposit method?

Yes and very quick/easy

Wow. Rapid Transfer Money Gram Payout:

Requested pay out Sat 11pm 2/22
Processed Sun 12am 2/23
CIH Sun 5:30 2/23

Less than 24 hours from request to fresh dollar bills in my hand. Well done Bovada.

On a Sunday no less

My latest Bovada payout request got me a check that bounced, and they will NOT pay me my money.

They tried all kinds of BS excuses (wrong routing number, needs more documents from the bank...), but when I did everything they asked and then just requested another check (I was willing to take the cancellation fee), they just flat out refused.

Word to the wise: do NOT put any more money on Bovada! It cost me $600 to find out.

Can anyone confirm/deny?

ive been getting a check every week. no bounces so far for the year.

(knock on wood)

I can confirm with a pretty high probability that his story doesnt seem to make any sense and he is most likely misrepresenting or leaving something out.

Hello everyone,

I have never had any issues depositing Bovada checks at my bank over the past year since I joined the site. However, I have recently relocated for work and am forced to switch banks as I don't want to drive hours to deposit checks. Does anyone deposit checks at the bank with the big red logo and yellow lettering, if so, any issues?

Every bank accepts checks.

Occasionally employees will be unfamiliar with handling foreign checks or a certain branch will have mandatory holds because of the same reason but its not bank specific.

Thank you

That reminds me...Saturday morning I hit the bank drive through to deposit a few checks, one of which was a hand-written rakeback check from the north. I put them all on the same deposit slip, which I've done damn near every month. This time the teller told me that the rb check wasn't going to be the amount on the check due to conversion fees. The conversation went something like this:

me: the check is in US funds
her: no, it's from a Canadian bank
me: yes, I know that, but it's still in US funds, it says US funds right on the check
her: I see that, but just because it says US funds doesn't mean it's in US dollars
me: isn't that exactly what it means?
her: no sir, I need to convert it, when I put the check through my computer it came up telling me I had to convert the amount since it was from a Canadian bank

At this point it was clear what was going on. She got a message she'd never seen before and started clicking on things to make it go away. Sort of like how I play limit poker.

I had her get a manager and after maybe 2 minutes the manager came back and apologized and said hey looky there, if it says US funds on the check, it's in US funds.

No real point to this story other than to back up the anecdotal evidence here that tellers are morons.

ive been on the site since it was Bodog... and have has (0) probs ever with the site/cashouts!
and the few ppl I personally know.. if there has been a prob.. it has been deciphered and handled ASAP!

I deposited a 1k check 5 weeks ago and it hasn't cleared yet, Should I be worried?

Your bank might have to it off to collections.

If so it can take awhile for the funds to be available afaik.

Five weeks does seem somewhat excessive though.

You can call your bank and inquire about the status of the check if you are worried.

this is why i prefer checks from the east. Easy atm deposit. checks from the north i have to go inside.

Just have your mom take you through the bank's drive through.

I am a long time lurker and first time poster so excuse me if this is not 100% correct form. This happened with my most recent Bovada courier check cashout.
requested:1-30
received- 2-4
accepted by bank then funds frozen and rejected: 2-6
subsequently, was told by bovada to email them pictures of rejected check and stamp.
received check back from bank: 2-19
sent pics of check to Bovada customer service:2-19
received reply email from bovada saying that they are going to tell the provider to stop payment on the funds and I might get my money back within 10-15 days :2-24

WU/Money Transfer
Req: 2/21 7p
App: 2/21 11p
Still waiting 72hrs after approval


This is the last time I'm doing a WU. Hardly faster than a check. If I'm going to be paying $200 in fees I expect rapid service.

I deposited with a prepaid visa. Would I be able to withdraw by WU?
