my $2,000 check cleared on 11/9 and today it has bounced! sigh let the hassle begin.

where was it from?

up north

Never.

Should i go with this site over carbon, lock, etc? Is there good PLO action?

Requested 6k payout on monday, got the first check that same wednesday. they break payouts into a series of 3k checks.

if you do i suggest depositing via money gram. I am done requesting checks and having them bounce. I know its the risk we take in playing online poker now though.

Gl hopefully the checks stop bouncing.

After your check bounces how long does it take for you to get another one?

How long does a money gram deposit take? And withdraw time for MG as well?

I haven't tried yet, my friend said it takes 2-3 days to get the money.

Moneygram deposit is almost instant.

Somebody earlier asked a good question:

How long does it take to get a replacement check from them when a check bounces. As a follow-up question: has anyone ever gotten a replacement check that also bounced?

Mel

Thanks Mel. Any idea how the mg cashouts are going? And does the site get alot of PLO traffic?

Thanks!

have my first check on the way, should be here any day. really worried its gonna bounce now. is there something specific i should look for on the check that might indicate if it will bounce or not? does bovada do bank wires?

1) It doesnt matter whats on the check. The check isnt gonna have (RUBBER) in the upper right corner. Just cash it.

2) Yes they do wires but checks are much more reliable.

well if they do bigger amounts for wires, it might be easier. just do one wire for 9k instead of 3 checks for 3k. i dont see the wire option in my cashier. is it available to everyone?

Tbh I never used it so Im not sure if its available to everyone or the limits. I do know from reading this thread and hearing feedback from other players that have used it that they have been extremely unreliable in comparison to withdraws by check at least recently.

Hopefully others that use it can chime it with more details with regards to its availability and limits if you are still interested in using it.

GL beesch.

just use western union

If hes playing high stakes, which he might be if hes talking about five figure withdraws, perhaps WU is not a viable alternative with fees and limits.

when depositing, bank had lots of problems because of routing number, manager came over, went to the back, returned, and after several attempts, said it would have to go to collections 4-6 weeks, while processing, she said OOO thats too much, you have a relationship with us, I'm not going to make you wait. Cleared the next day, just waiting for reversal

yea i had the exact same problem.. our checks didnt have the standard 9 digit routing number .. the bank manager said they would have to send it to collections and would take 8 weeks... she then said call them and have them reissue you a 9 digit check or bank wire... so i called bovada and they are going to take care of it... no way im waiting 8 weeks to get my money

I rec'd a check today and my bank told me the same thing. Check is from up North.

I have 3 options here:
1. Just deposit it in this bank (national bank) and deal with the wait.

2. I have a bank account through local bank in ND and I have never had a problem depositing checks before from up North...I will be visiting there in 2.5 weeks and I can hold off until then.

3. I can send the check via mail to my parents in ND and have it arrive in a few days and they can deposit it on my behalf at that local bank.

Anyone have any idea on which order they would do to go through things?

I'm heading to San Diego tomorrow until Christmas, so if I were to mail, it would have to be tomorrow sometime.

idk man... whatever is best for you. If you dont need the money than just wait it out. I just asked them to issue me another check.

i binked the 10k again last night and got approved for a 3400 wire... says should hit my bank in 15 business days...

FARGOpokerND, if you don't need the money.
1>3>>>>>>>>2 imo.
