I did try to deposit the check, but the teller would not let me until they talked to someone at Ultimate Poker.

You said you have an account there. They should place a hold on the check, but allow you to deposit it.

Yes they should, but they would not. That is the problem. I have never had this problem with a check before.

I did question the bank about why they could not just deposit the check and put a hold on it until they contacted UP. They said the problem was the check and that they had to talk to UP about it. They gave me the check and my deposit slip back. I am trying to resolve this matter with UP, but I wanted to know if this happened to anyone else.

Today, I went to Wells Fargo Bank (the check is a Wells Fargo check) to cash the check (Wells Fargo is also my bank) and was told that there was an alert on the check and that they could not cash it until they spoke to a representative of Ultimate Poker. I sat in the bank for several minutes as the teller and manager called UP several times to no avail. After speaking to several bank employees, I was told that I would have to come back in an hour to try again, because they could not reach anyone to verify the check. I had other errands to do, so I could not stay any longer or come back to the bank in an hour. Therefore, I left the bank with an uncashed check and no idea of when or if this check could be cashed. Needless to say, I am very frustrated with this situation. Furthermore, I have been inconvenienced and embarrassed.

I sent an email to Ultimate Poker. My email request number is: #22421.

The check I received didn't even say Ultimate Poker it said Ultimate Gaming. So how did the bank even get the name Ultimate Poker? I cashed mine at a diff bank and they didn't ask any questions. Sounds like your having an isolated issue to me!!

The credit unions rarely question such transactions. Using an atm to deposit can help as well.

I made my withdraw request yesterday... it was IMMEDIATELY approved but is BEING PROCESSED. I am waiting to see how long it will take to process a withdraw of much more than just a few hundred dollars.

so far it's been 24 heuers.

just went to the casino to get a patch (per the blog) the attendant in the poker room looked at me like I was insane - said all he has are a few business cards from UP. to try back in a couple of hours when the girl at the up table would be there. ran my errands went back played a few slots (got a little lucky) after 3 hours still no UP rep so I guess no patch. Is there a time when these will be available? how about hats or shirts?

Shirt & Hat are definitely high quality by Vegas/iPoker free swag standards, can't wait for a points store.

My hat is reversed, Ultimate Poker on the front & icon/button on the back.

Thanks again Scottyy, I really appreciate it. Advertising as much as possible for you guys, even wore the shirt/hat to my bowling league last night

The Starbucks and McDonalds are about 50/50 just depending on the ISP for each location.

Here's a decent screen shot of the missing buttons bug. Sent one into support as well.

BTW - the client crashing during a long session is not a memory issue. I upgraded my memory and the client is still crashing ~5 hours into a session with loads of free memory available. Every other program continues to be stable while UP just shuts down.

Good question. I arrive Sunday afternoon for a two day trip. I'll be playing in as many tournaments as I can, so good to see another nightly coming on line.
