Just received mine 6/11. Not sure about everyone else from this batch but I don't see a 9-digit routing number on this thing. I've always deposited via ATM without issue but I guess it's time to go inside .

Just got off instant message with support for carbon. I requested a check for $2,500 to be sent to my parents address, since I travel a fair amount. They were not home the 2 times that they tried to deliver the check and then fed ex returned it to the sender. Chat asked me if I wanted to have them stop and trace process the check, but there would be a fee up to $250 to have this done. I asked what other options there was and they said none. So basically there was no point in asking me. It was have us do this option where we could **** you up to $250 or do not get the $2,500 put back into your account. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Any suggestions how to proceed.

Obviously I am going to make sure someone is home next time I request a check so that this does not happen again. But that has nothing to do with the current check. Is there a better option than check?

The $250 fee is pretty standard for offshore check processors and has been around since shortly after Black Friday.

Next time have your parents or whomever leave a note on the door instructing the delivery agent to leave the package with the front desk, on the back porch, under a doormat, whatever. Sign and print your name on it with a date. That's often acceptable by a delivery man.

received 6/11

I always used MB before so I was not aware of this. Thanks for the help mate!

Received and deposited via teller 6/11.

Going to receive my first cashout check from Carbon tomorrow. When depositing an international check in US dollars, does the bank ask any questions about where the money is coming from? Do they even care?

Just looking for people's experiences with this. Thanks!

Some bank employees will ask, others wont. YMMV. The bigger the bank and the more accustomed to dealing with foreign bank checks, the less likely the scrutiny. Most banks don't care (the bigger ones care even less on avg).

I got the ax to 2 tables, and figure I will be banned w/ in a few weeks. Did you receive your cashout from 5/25, is it good?

The check instructions speciflically state not to deposit them thru an a.t.m. also it says that in your messages are on the poker site.

You should do as instructed and deposit it directly with a teller. thank you.please read your messages on the poker site.

Req 6/2
Processed 6/9
Received 6/11
Canadian check

Deposited today at locally owned X national bank. Teller said it will have to be sent off before the funds are made available due to it being a foreign check. Not too worried about this because it will protect me and my bank.

You realize it says that because most banks have a policy of not accepting foreign checks through the ATM and it has nothing to really do with carbon? Most of the time being that they are in US$ they get cashed via ATM with no problem according to 99% of the people in this thread.

The site also specifically stated that we would receive cashouts within a certain time frame and many of use were way past that time frame.

The site also specifically states that merge is not to be used for professional use but I know many professionals that still use it for professional use.

Received today. It came from the same place as my last check which cleared overnight, so I'm pretty happy.

Thanks carbon

deposited with a teller and sent off to collections. was told it could take up to 6 weeks. anyone have any experience with this?

Check received 6/11

Took the advice of some on here and opened a new account at W.F. today, was initially told by a banker that it might be on hold awhile but she wouldn't be sure how long until it was scanned, after scanning was then told the funds should be available next day. Will update if anything changes.

Manual deposit with a teller as instructed. Canadian check. No questions asked. 👍

Large national bank starts with 'C'
I will report back if it doesn't clear.

Thank You Merge, for the fast processing on the last few withdrawals.

Please consider reviving your 'rakeback' system & offering some kind of VIP program again. Its pretty brutal that the VIP program has been completely gutted.

Deposited canadian check manually via teller after the check was not accepted by ATM (very large bank).
Was told by the teller it will be available tomorrow morning.

I would also like more info on this. I read in a previous thread(or maybe it was in this one?) that a guy was worried about losing his withdrawal because carbon would only honor it for 45 days and if the bank for some reason didnt clear his check he would be out of luck with no way of getting it cleared or recieving a refund back to his account. Fortunatly his cleared, but has this ever happened to someone? My bank said i had to send in my most recent check but I am a little worried.

Just tried to deposit a check, they said it had to be sent to collections and then made me sign something because it was foreign. Said it would take 10-15 business days. Major Bank.

Ive made prob 15-20 check deposits in the last year without any issue, this is the only time this has happened. Noticed this has happened to some other people recently as well. Anyone know whats going on?

It has been commented on before ITT that the issue seems to arise from a teller or whoever not realizing that there is a difference in an international check drawn on/written to US funds versus one that is not. I believe there is something to this because once I received my check, I called the bank listed on it, to inquire about how to best receive the funds from US banks. I didn't mention what the check was for or anything, just asked in general about how to best obtain the funds from a check written from an account in their bank, in the US. Long story short, I was told to just deposit the check in an existing US bank account and that since the check is already written in US dollars, the transfer of funds shouldn't take more than a few days.

So I guess whenever someone at the bank talks about sending a check to collections because it's international, make sure to mention that the check is written to US dollars.

I was lucky enough to get my money off lock poker, when owner to deposit I had to sign appear work for a foreign collection item. I got my money about a month later with no issues

WOW you got a Lock Poker withdrawal! I been waiting 18+ months now

Carbon really needs to add WU and/or MG as a withdrawal option. They can make the fee for cashing out high if they want, just please give us another choice other than checks.

I've been waiting for 4 years for my 2800 on UB
