just starting using bovada in dec 2011. gotten 3 checks from jan - march no problems

approved check 200 4/20/12 no tracking yet

approved check 900 5/15/12 no tracking yet

called many times they say the have combined the checks and should be here next week

Pokerstars did twice pre black friday.

Requested May 7th, approved on the 8th, still waiting for it. Hopefully it comes before my credit card bill is due.

Still waiting on 4/26 and 5/2

It's taking approx 35 business days, but be patient your money will come. Received part of my april 10th payout on June 4. Still have three payouts pending for mid may but I know not to really expect it until late july or early august.

Will they send checks to P.O. boxes?

No.

rec tracking number for first check from withdrawl made 4/18. also received my wire from cashout made 5/1.

US player? If so, first I've heard of any US wires in a while.

has anyone used rapid transfer for bovada? is that similar to Western Union? i know the fees are high compared to checks but i'm looking to get cash off in the next few weeks. And am very concerned that the check that I ordered will not arrive in time

Rapid transfer is MoneyGram. If you haven't deposited with that method you can't cash out with that method.

processed 4/22
nothing

processed 6/4
nothing

I think its pretty unfair others with may requests have recieved payouts already.

From what I've read elsewhere they are currently in the process of switching processors which is supposed to be the main reason for all this backlog. Some processors are probably just taking care of previous batches before others.

Whatever the reason, it would be nice if we had a rep make a statement on here.

Got my 4/12 cashout on 6/8. It was a check from Singapore, needless to say my bank lol'd at me and said there will be a hold. Something about going to collections. Some reason that hold can be >1 month so I might end up waiting 3+ months for my cashout.

Emailed bodog and told them to allow me to cashout with other options or I'm done. Got a call 20 mins later explaining to me the rules of cashing out and I just kept saying "yeah Ive heard the rules but I'm no longer playing here if you cant make an exception." This went back and forth 3 times before I hung up. Sigh

Other posters have said those checks clear the quickest. All my checks become "available" the same day or the next so I can't tell from my experience.

Yes, I know my checks don't actually clear that quick.

Get a better bank. Those checks are drawn on a US bank. There's no reason for it to go to collections.

I've been getting checks from bodog for years + those ones never bounce. Some ones from up north and US banks occasionally bounce, but those ones are GOLD.

My big national bank sometimes prints on the receipt at the ATM where I deposit that funds could take 2 weeks to clear, but the $ is always fully in there 1-2 days later. (you should obviously wait about a week before touching the funds to make sure it clears.

Is there a way to filter this thread so that I do not read any recent sign ups?

I guess I do not want to read sky is falling wait 35 business days posts when I'm clearing 5 a month off the site seamless.

Note that Bodog is the only site which you can successfully remove 5 figures off a month. albeit low 5 figs..

So much of you guys are such epic epic losers

For those of you complaining about holds on checks and what not, you are clearly not following instructions or you're using a ****ty bank.

Deposit to an ATM. Please do this. The funds for every one of my checks has been available in full within 2 days maximum. USE A Big Old Awesome bank (WINK WINK).

Its not difficult.

I requested a check cash out on 4/23, was approved on 4/25. Still waiting.

Started emailing them for status once a week, got boilerplate response each time with estimated processing time being 5 business days longer.

Got an update end of last week that a check had been cut, but they didn't have a tracking number yet. That didn't make much sense to me.

4/14 bovada request, 4/15 approval, got a tracking # on 6/9, set to receive tomorrow. woot!

requested: 4/14
received: 6/11

My payout of only $400 was submitted on 4/15 and approved the same day.

One month later (about 5/15), I requested an update and was told via email that the holidays were causing slowdowns in payouts. I guess Mother's Day is a big deal to the folks at Bovada!

I did get a $100 bonus added to my account, which is nice, but I would still like my payout.

As of today, 6/11, I still have no tracking number and am wondering if or when my check will arrive. Two months is way, way too long to have to wait. I'll be keeping an eye on these forums, and won't be depositing into Bovada again until I see a lot of users confirming that they are once again getting timely payouts.

this is true , and it sounds like we have the same bank..but i hope you are aware that just because the funds are available for use in two day, it doesnt mean that the check has cleared. due to banking laws they must make $ available after so long...i have had funds from bodog checks become available and bounce days later although zero checks have bounced in the 6 months

Just stop. Please.
