Wow, that was very quick. Bodog is picking up on the quickness, or just less people are playing

LOL @ no checking account. LOL @ no credit card.

Ok, I dont mean to sound like an ass either. I just dont understand playing there with any risk. I do agree with you tha tyou will in fact get your money. That is not how i mean it to sound. I do think, 100%, you will geT ALL of your money. That said, there just is fewer and fewer reasons to play there. Tournies are cake...and they talent is low on bodog and structure good. Ill agree...but if you win there and cant win everywhere...You should work on your game an adapt to win at POKER not at BODOG. I just feel it would be a smart play to make. Show the poker world that the player should have more say. We, the players, are crucial to a site existing. Demand better treatment and maybe we can expect it in the future. Thats all. As for the bank acount guy...lay off....simply WHO CARES...GL

17 days from request to clear, buddy of mine just got his check in under 2 weeks. TY Bodog.

I just got a check from Bodog the other day. I took it to my bank to cash it, but they would cash a check from Canada.

How am I suppose to get my money, or do you guys know of any banks that will cash these checks?

Get a new bank. I cashed one yesterday with no apparent problems.

What bank do you use?

Is there some reason you wouldn't deposit it?

I actually did try to deposit it, but my bank wouldn't take it.

Perhaps it was a stupid teller. I've never had a problem depositing foreign checks, but people here always advise bypassing tellers and depositing at the ATM, and that's what I do.

if it turns out to bounce later they will debit the check amount from your account

this is hilarious in light of the recent "economic crisis"

putting your money in a savings account just means you only lose 10% of your money in a year instead of 11% (to inflation)

i just watched an interview with Barry Greenstein talking about how he has lot a good chunk of his net worth recently because of the poor economy and his investments losing value

What is the point of having a credit card if you don't want to use it?

Small local bank.

whats the best thing to tell the bank if they have questions about where the check is from? Would they ever ask? If they do, whats the best things to say?

"Its from business I conduct on the internet."

Well, they took the check and then called me today to say they couldn't deposit it.

I bank at a statewide bank. I'm going to go open an account with a national bank on Monday and see if they'll cash them. Does anyone know of a national bank that will for sure cash these?

"Instructing players what to say if ever questioned about their checks(this should be a red flag)"

Can anyone please explain............

By telling people that the check is from poker, it puts Bodog's payment processor in jeopardy if the bank teller notifies someone about the check. By telling people its "business conducted on the internet" you keep Bodog's payment processor in tact so we can get checks in 2 weeks and not 2 months.

Or like I've advocated forever now, deposit via an ATM and don't talk to tellers.

Full Tilt and Poker Stars don't want you to tell the tellers that the check is from poker either, bodog is just going out of their way to protect their payment processor.

The bottom line, however, is ive never ONCE been told by stars, tilt or any other site not to say anything. Is that understood? Possibly. However, that should be a red flag. Pretending that its okay or that things are good here is just that, pretending. Im never gonna go into my bank and say...."can you cash this poker check?". However, since the checks are now consistently coming from out of the country they are even that much more suspect. Arguing whether it is really a big deal or not that you have to say its from online business is mute as far as im concerned. This is a sign of whats to come, this is a great indicator that it is bad times. All it does is reiterate that they are having problems. Even in the past the problems that bodog was, and are, having were just exactly that...BODOGS PROBLEMS. Now, they are increasingly becoming more and more OUR problems. Long check waits, bounced checks, seized money, fees for getting your OWN money(which slays me more than anything and people dont seem to be bothered....i guess people aren't cashing out as much as others). Stars and FT im sure have the same problems working with US players and have rediculously larger player counts. A good company is responsible for their own actions and there own policies. Bodog continues to pass the buck, blame the us government and, for some problems, the player. They wont tell you whats going on, they are shady. Id be happier if what they said "some of our money was seized...we are a little leery of putting a great deal of funds in any one account so that is what is causing the delay. As for the added cents, it is so it is not so easy to detect a possible processing account...furthermore, the reason they are from canada is because no intelligent individual would process checks from a US bank". But the dont. They truly pretend like NONE of this is going on. And if you go through the last six months step by step...it is clear that that is what is happening. Get your heads out of the sand. Im taking names too...when bodog finishes going south...NONE of you get to bitch for staying with them too long. Whats funny is my girlfriend JUST walked in with the mail. In it, i check I requested from Pstars on monday Nov 3rd from a reputable bank that everyone here has heard of........6 days(snail mail also)...and from a big time, no worries bank.

I forgot what day it is, mail doesnt even come on sunday so it had to have gotten hear yesterday or friday as I have not gotten the mail since then, so 5 or even 4 DAYS is all from Stars. Just clearing that up

tilt, ur going on many tangents, some of which i agree with. my point was that it is beneficial for us to not mention poker on the checks. one could assume that they are getting it harder from the doj because calvin ayre basically telling them to f off.

checks are coming faster nowadays btw and i haven't heard of any recent checks bouncing.

11 posts of that sort in this thread in 5 days? This thread is for reports and questions about Bodog payouts. Please take your verbal tilt to BBV, where it belongs.

I got A check last Thursday it took about 20 business days.It was from Canada this time and cashed just find."Whats wrong with the banks we got they work pretty good" LOL

Hey self-love, I could post 11 posts A DAY and it take me half a year to catch you....so why dont you count your own posts and then tell yourself how many posts youve made and then see if you care or not. I dont. While your policing this thread could you tell off the gentleman who only gave financial advice....i think i saw a a guy swear once too...tool Gl

IS THIS YOUR BUSH?!?! YOU KING OF FORREST???

Please stop. You've hijacked this thread enough with your inanity.
