Strongly hinted huh? I dont have any accounts at national banks. My plan is to deposit in the drop box, ignore the phone when they call, and return their messages after hours, lol. The check shows on my account as unavailable so hopefully they just put a few days wait on it.

I dont like this cat and mouse game, but unfortunately I have another check processing. I am thinking about canceling it and going through the deposits to get WU withdrawals. They seem to ask less questions.

This is why I don't even play on my account until my withdrawal gets approved and processed. The longer Merge takes to process my cash out, the more revenue they will lose out on. In the meantime, I can take my play elsewhere. Waiting over a week to get approved for withdrawal is ridiculous and a disgrace.

they are calling because they are worried about YOU being scammed. many dumbasses deposit checks from ppl who wrote their spam inbox, offering 50% if you cash their bogus check. All they want to know is you requested the check and its from a reputable source, thats all u have to say when they call

online poker is not illegal and there is no law that covers withdrawals, and thats with their current supposed laws they have used to harass our game being shot down at every turn. it never was a big deal, they just had ppl believing it was...scumbags, maybe they'll go after some real criminals instead of harassing us

Why would the credit union tell Siculamente to go to a national bank next time? That seems like a threat that they would not cash the next one to me. If they thought he was being scammed were they saying "go get scammed elsewhere"?

I think you are probably right Saturn, but I cant figure out why they would tell him that.

They said they couldn't process the check themselves because it was an international check, so they had to send it to a 3rd party for processing. They told me it would take 3 weeks to process the check but in reality I had the funds in my account in less than a week.

Later they told me I should just go to a national bank that could process the check on the spot, and I wouldn't have to wait. I didn't mind waiting another week and paying the small charge so I didn't open a national account. The last check I deposited, they told me this again and they left a voicemail the next day basically saying the same thing.

edit: so yeah, I took at as a sign to go to another bank

Are you sure it was an international check? I had a problem with a teller once with a check from Merge. It was drawn on a foreign bank, but was in US dollars and payable through a US branch. When I explained that, I had no problem depositing it.

Some tellers are easily confused about this. Check to make sure because I've yet to get a foreign check from Merge.

Yea it's expected for delays for processing around this time of year with all the sports action going on that kicked off this week

But then it's kinda weird that processing times for withdraws are slowing to a crawl around the same time the credit card deposit option has been down on merge cashier's

I bank at the Credit Union in North Carolina and they have definitely asked me questions about the checks before since they were Canadian. All that you have to say is that you do online surveys (like the advertisements on commercials) and the teller usually shuts up. You just have to say it in a tone, like bitch don't ask me another question about it just deposit my money and get on with it.

My credit union has been processing checks for me since 2007 and before I switched to Merge most of those checks were from sketchy ass Bodog. Worst thing that has happened is they put a few weeks "wait" on like 70% of the check.

Skin??? I requested on 8/15, still no approval.

Requested 8/11

Not approved yet.

We're there any fees you had to pay through western union?

I know there will be different opinions but I would like to know if he best way to get mu $2500 off would be western union or a check? Thanks for any future advice

My skin is Carbon

I was thinking same thing. I deposited 240.00 on Carbon, ran it up to approximately 700.00, cashed out and was waiting about ten days for approval.

Then I canceled payout, played some more and lost. So I requested another payout - this time for about 180.00 and check was approved in about two days. Received check shortly after that and deposited in bank with no problems. Check was requested about 8/20 and approved around 8/22.

Has anybody had problem when depositing there check in there bank account?

I'm not too savvy with checks, but I'm pretty sure it's international? Has the address of a major canadian bank, says it's payable through their agent in new york. It's in USD. It also has a number for toll free inquiries.

Can you have pending check withdrawals on 2 Merge skins simultaneously?

i.e. BCP and Carbon?
