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.
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?
