Where do you live?

So I called about this and was told that I can't do wires to this bank anymore because I am a "known poker player." I asked the customer service lady (who was told this by the payouts team) what exactly she meant since I am a complete nobody internet player and she couldn't tell me much more. She just said that somehow the bank knew that I was a poker player or something and I would have to choose a different bank if I wanted to do wires. She also told me, however, that a more recent wire transfer that I had processed (to the same bank) would go through. lol WTF is going on ? Still on hold trying to get a better explanation for what the deal is. Just wondering if anyone has had an issue like this.

My check sent to collection as bovada and bank told me to.
It's been 3months bank sent the check to collection. Still no letter or decision.
What do you guys think?
My bank is B... of A......
Check was $360

Get on phone w/ Bovada tell them payment never cleared, demand them to stop payment on check and issue you credit to your Bovada account. Then request another check. Use a large national bank.

The lady went on to tell me that if you Google my name, one of the top results is about my one WSOP cash which occured many years ago, so this is why I could be a "known poker player," lol. There is no way a bank would give their processor any info about a customer so I doubt my bank gave this as the reason for declining the wire. The Bovada lady suggested I have them wire to a business account instead...

I noticed that my most recent Wire (that they say WILL go through) is coming from a different payment processor from the first 3 I received (including the last that didn't go through), whose name I obviously won't say. I'm wondering if the issue(s) I'm having are related to one of their wire processors getting shut down or drawing increased heat. Maybe now they are googling potential wire recipients to make sure there is no poker results returned, or maybe they just are using this as an excuse because they don't want to tell me their processor got shut down.

For those that have received wires, is it always from the same processor, or do they use different ones?

Bovada is awesome. I req. a payout of 1k from LOCK 6 months ago and have still never received it and probably never will.

definitely interested in this, could be perfect if the app can process foreign checks

I'd be shocked if it let you deposit foreign checks this way, but it would be awesome if it did.

i deposited a check from canada and it hasn't cleared its been 1 month, how long does it usually take to clear?

Issue with your bank. I deposit one and got cash in hand next business day

Good afternoon everyone. I am looking to deposit on the site and my only deposit option is a Visa card option. Can someone give me a little detail on the best way to get a Visa prepaid/gift card that is compatible with the site?

Make sure you get an one that can make international transactions.

He said he used 'B... o.. A'

Is it just your little secret that B.o.A is not a large national bank? Pretty sure it is the second largest bank in America.




Please update on this issue, plenty of us will want to know if boa is usable

Has anyone had success with the Visa Card Withdrawal? What is typical time frame?

Have had no issues with checks in the past but I thought this would be easy to do.

Thanks.

Has anyone had any success or failures using "U ES Banc" , "Banc of the Lest" or "CoMericuh Banc" for wire transfers?

Just to update everyone on my payout, the bank sent the check to collections on Friday , said it would take 7-30 days. Had to go in and sign paperwork that basically said if the check were to bounce I would have to pay fees etc etc.

Made another withdrawal this morning around 7am central for max MG , still hasn't been approved.

I have asked a couple of bovada reps about the payout Visa card and none of them seem to know what I'm talking about. They say they can accept deposits using n**spen* visas but in no way can they pay you out onto a Visa card? Will keep updated on both payouts.

Say you were to ship a Sunday tournament for 40-50k+ . Would u really have to withdraw $3k check once per week to get that? I understand bank wires are 3k-9k max, but still, your looking at a long time to see that money

Yes. I had to do that when I won 150k guaranteed on merge. It took months and pokerhost took more than 1k in fees. No special treatment for you just because u binked a big tourney.

You could get that amount fairly quickly depending on which of the payout options you are eligible for. If you can do wire/credit card/check, you could get it out in under a month if payout times don't increase. You could also add in Western Union and Moneygram if you are eligible for those.
