It hasn't even been 24 hours yet, you'll be fine. I've had it take up to a few days before, but that's pretty rare. Usually I get approved within 12-36 hours. My check last week took a little over 24 to process and I still had it within 3 days.

Does one free check/month mean one per calendar month or does it mean 30 days since you last requested one?

I'm certain it is by calendar month, not 30 days.

Does anyone know if that is possible? Would love a bankwire option.

Also does anyone know if you change addresses what kind of hoops they will make you jump through, if any?

Yes, it is definitely possible as they offer it as an option for payouts (you can take out up to 9500). I'm still on the fence about whether to do it or not because the checks come so fast and Am concerned about possible fees. I spoke to my bank and they said it's only a $15 charge and bovada said there's no charge on there and but I still don't know.

U will get charged up to a couple hundred because it goes thru other banks before it hits urs and the exchange rates.just got 3 wires in 2 weeks(15 days) and my fees were something like $140,$205 and today just 60.not sure how many of those had the $50 withdrawal fee from bovada.either way I'm ok with it.Each was 9k

27k cashout in 2 weeks? nice.. what stakes to you play?

There are banks out there if you look hard enough that do not charge for incoming wires, even international ones. As far as exchange rates go, that is weird because I would have assumed everything Bovada sends out is in USD.

I can confirm that this is wrong. I have been getting weekly wires from them for the last few weeks. My bank lists the amount I've received in euros and I get the conversion based on that day's rate.

It actually fluctuates based on daily currency volatility because there seems to be a lag from their intermediary. After the $50 charge, I've gotten transfers for $9,600 and $9,440. I would recommend taking the wire transfer over the checks though. The money still comes in basically the same time frame and you don't need to worry about checks not clearing.

Why do they send wires in Euros?

Totally unrelated, can someone who gets wires as cash outs from Bovada please PM me?

It Calendar, but be careful because it goes by the date approved. I typically ask for payouts on the last day of every month but if I wait until night time or its a Sunday then sometimes its not approved until the next day and they count that as next month so if the following month I actually get it in early then I get charged the $50. Although if you complain they will refund the money. 100% of the time this has happened to me they have refunded the money, but just something to be aware of.

Also, they go by Eastern Time. So if you ask for a payout at 11:00 PM PST then your actually requesting the payout at 2:00 AM the following day, which is a different month.

The easiest way to avoid the two things I just mentioned is to just not ask for a payout on the last day of the month

Does anyone know if Bovada has started doing anything different with it's FedEx shipping? I'm signed up for the FedEx delivery manager app which tells me when I'm going to receive a package and usually with Bovada let's me sign for it online. My Bovada check this week seems to be coming from a different sender than normal and a different state. Also, the delivery manager won't let me sign for it. Any ideas?

You sure it isnt from DHL? I get those too.

Nope this is FedEx.

Also it almost always is shipped overnight , so it comes the day after I get the notification from FedEx. In this case, I'm not expected to get it until Monday.

Don't post where your checks come from in this thread or anywhere else on the internet. I enjoy being able to be paid by Bovada.

Can we still do Western Union withdrawals on Bovada? I don't see the option for it anymore.

Call customer service. They are very helpful. A lot of your payout options depend on what state you live in. That being said, my state is the most restricted and they offered me WU but the fees are ridiculous.

Read a good bit of this thread and can't seem to come up with a clear answer.

Anyone know the average wait time for a check from the north to clear?
Not just have the funds available but, to make sure the check didn't bounce?
Is it around 2 weeks if no hold is placed?

Thank you.

I don't think anybody really knows. I try not to spend the money for at least a month. People have posted about checks bouncing 3-4 week after deposit.

my first cash out


1200$
Visa Debit Card payout

requested: September 24th, Wednesday night
Approved: Sept 25th, Thursday morning
Received: Oct 2nd, Thursday morning

full 1200$ in bank, no fee

Curious, what bank do you use, to get debit card payout? I know you can't post names, so come up with a creative way to tell me. Stage coach bank, BOA... etc?

Do not do this. Assume that all of the major banks are the ones that you should be using with Bovada

International Check Help.

Received my cash out request from Bovada quickly. I read on website that they recommend depositing the check using an ATM. I went to bank to try this method and it did not work (presumably because its a international check). I also tried the smart phone apps to deposit the check but it did not work because it is a international check. Also tried small check cashing stores and this did not work either because of the above reasons.

I have no problem depositing to a live teller, but I do not want to get flagged for internet gambling. This happened once before to me because I deposited on a poker website with my debit card.

What is the best way deposit or cash this check? Is there any place other than main banks that will cash an international check? Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Walk into the bank.
