bovada probably has by far the fastest cash outs (and most reliable) out of any U.S. facing site right now. pretty much every other site is taking a month MINIMUM for payouts. bovada's payouts get processed and then approved in 1-2 days and then you are given an almost spot on approximation of delivery.

it has always been there policy to do a max of 3k per check, with the next check coming a week later...that's absolutely standard.

their 'estimated' times are just that...estimations. in my experiences, the estimations have been completely spot on and any time i've had even the tiniest issue i have called customer service who helped me out immediately and gave me reasonable updates on the situation.

also you spelled acceptable 'exceptable' which isn't even a word.

Well, it is a word...but it doesn't mean 'acceptable'.

lol...it says it will take 2 weeks

keep posting, you keep reaffirming what I said earlier

Anyone with recent cleared checks want to private message me which USA bank you use? THANKS

It doesnt matter. All banks deal with checks.

yes but some larger USA banks are more willing than others to accept these kinds of checks. My bank rejected my most recent check and now I have to open an account at a new bank. Again, don't post the bank's name on here but maybe hint at it or PM it to me.

To be clear this clearly is not exceptable. Exceptable would make you an exception and you are within the time frame so you are correct. Exceptable would be if a check took an hour to arrive or maybe 200 business days.

I don't think it's acceptable to use the word exceptable. There might be an acceptable exception to the rule though.

Must give credit where credit is due and at the moment Bovada/Bodog has the quickest check payouts.

I requested a cashout for approx $300 on 9/22.

I received the check in mid October, and went to the bank to deposit it. I had difficulties since it was a Canadian check, but after a small wait they were able to deposit it minus currency conversion fees.

Then a few days later I get a call (from what I believe is Bovada's check company) saying that my bank had mistakenly done the check in Canadian dollars.

The check cleared without issue by October 20th. Now today I received another check from Fedex for the same amount. I'm confused what to do with this check since my other one already cleared.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

hmm i requested on the same day as you and still haven't gotten mine.

Why dont you call Bovada and explain this to them and ask them the same question?

Ok guys, the last check I received was one of the new Canadian checks and my atm wouldn't accept it (most atms won't accept from what I am hearing).
I took the check inside to the teller to deposit and mentioned to the lady that the atm wouldn't accept it. She told me that the reason why was the numbers on the bottom of the check were printed too high. The checks are legit you just have to use a teller to deposit. Hope this helps someone.

"Why dont you call Bovada and explain this to them and ask them the same question?"

I did. They said they didn't know why I would receive a second check and that they only saw one payout for the $300 amount.

I just really don't know what to do with the check, given how sketchy the online poker scene has been lately.

Check requested 10/25, approved 10/26, received confirmation in my inbox today, but it doesn't say which delivery service it will arrive from, though they provided a tracking number? Any idea why not?

Checked tracking # on Fed-Ex, UPS, DHL but wasn't listed. In recent months I had received from DHL.

I would try to take the check to one of those check cashing places not associated with your bank account. It looks like the error in your favor slipped through the cracks. Cash that sucker!

approved 10/24/12 and i still don't have the check or tracking numbers.

Stealing $300 is definitely not the answer.

Thanks but I would refer to these checks as simply coming from "up north". Regulars will understand and there is no need to put the site or the bank at risk.

Been crossing my fingers for weeks now. Requested three 3000 dollar checks. Cancelled two of them due to the fact that it takes so damn long for it to come in. Requested the first one October 21st. 13th business day today and still nothing no sign of a tracking number. I am highly frustrated as I am a long time customer and have spent some nice chump change on there daily. I hope they can come to a resolution soon because i am losing my mind.

yes, had a couple held for 15-30 days from Merge.

You need to understand that expecting checks to always get to you in two weeks as an American is just not realistic.

This was the point Halstad was trying to make.

Getting all rattled and losing your mind at thirteen business days waiting given UIGEA and the environment you have chosen to play in is just irrational and silly.

Your situation is yawn and not even worth a post yet tbh.

+1...the poker community in general is full of shade balls, you don't want to be one yourself.

Req: 11/6
App: 11/8

Will update when I receive check
