I went in today to change my pin and apparently the check has some special hold that the manager/supervisor said is really rare which obv raised some red flags. I got taken aside and was asked what the check was for and I told them what the site told me to tell them. They printed off the check and commented how funny it looked, said it looked really fishy etc (just like I said) and then proceeded to call some people. The manager was like standing over me in the booth asking questions and commenting on how she wanted to see what this check was about all while the drone behind the computer was trying to reach someone. Thankfully they couldn't reach anyone and I said I couldn't wait any longer (25 mins of waiting) and had to be back at work. I have a feeling this won't go away and i'm going to be asked some more questions.
Am I obligated to tell them who I "work" for? Is it against the law for me to blatently lie to them? What happens if they find out it's from gambling? Do they just close my account? They can't hold the money in the account, can they? Do they notify other banks of my shady activity? What are my options? It was obv a max check.
This is fkn ridiculous, it's online poker, i'm not running a fkn kiddie porn site or selling drugs or involved in prostitution. And yet the fkn great us of a deems it a sin, its just ridiculous.
attach the checks is usually piece of paper saying blank your name _____
this check is given to you in services rendered for online commissions .
Just leave this paper attached to check when you hand it to them so they could read out for themselves. If they still ask you to say it was from commissions.
that's what I do they only asked me once and I haven't asked me again over a half doesn't check now and I'm signing them over to my girlfriend it's not even my bank. they just wait for it to clear before they give me anything.
sometimes if I need a hundred or two of front they give it to me but usually don't even ask and just tell them just Depo it and I'll let it clear before I pull Any out.
and unless you're not paying taxes on X amount that you make per year I really don't believe it's illegal for any of us to be playing.
what's legal for the site to give us is another story but I do believe what we're doing is legal. (assuming you're staying up-to-date with Tax stuff)
I'm not a hundred percent sure this of course just stuff I've heard.
