So looks like checks do have a 50 fee now. Tried to request one today and saw it had an extra fee even though I still have my free one for the month. So I switched it to VFF.

i didnt get charged one

I finally received my debit card withdrawal. Came sometime in the afternoon.

Debit Card:

Requested: 2/22
Approved: 2/26
Received: 3/7

Happy Monday!

Debit Card Withdrawal

Req 03/01
App 03/01
Rec 03/07

Is there a monthly fee for VFF?

Still getting one free VFF.

Anybody know if there is a bank for the debit card withdrawal that doesnt hit you with an additional atm fee?

VFF[LIST=1]
request: 3000 2/26
processed: 2/26
received: still waiting...

Has anyone been able to get in touch with the debit card people lately? Lost my card and have tried to reach them several times.. Always just a receptionist who says a customer service rep will call me back. Never happened..

When using vff do ypu normally get an email saying its been sent to the processor? Anybody use a cc from the bank that rhymes with a helpful hardware place? How quickly did you recieve funds?

I get the it's processed from bovada and then it's sent for processing after that one.

Anyone else having Moneygram withdrawal issues? The limits have steadily decreased from $800-->$700-->$400-->$300. The majority of the times in the past, I would get the payout within 24 hours, several times the same day.

Req 3/2
App 3/2
Rec ?

I know it is still within the quotes timeframe (4-7 business days) but given how quick they used to be, just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience

Check (only available option), no fee

Requested 3/3
Approved 3/3
Arrived and deposited 3/7
Funds cleared 3/8

FWIW i talked to support and they said that you get charged for checks if you have a valid VFF card on file. Otherwise, you won't get charged for checks.

Same.

Hi,

I have been playing on Bovada for a while now and have had no major problems until recently. Looking for some advice or suggestions on what to do.

I cashed out via check for 3k (was actually a larger amount broken into different payments). The check cleared Feb 18th and then March 1st it bounced. Bovada refunded me the amount however my bank went into overdraft. I attempted to deposit a new check today but this is where it gets troublesome. My bank informed me the last check bounced as the account was now closed. They had locked my accounts and informed me I will have 60 days to cover the overdraft amount and following that they will close all my accounts there.

I also attempted to deposit it at another bank however they said it would take 6-8 weeks to process of which I don't have time (bills to pay). I spoke with Bovada and they said I was unable to cashout by any other method. Now I am f**ked.

Wondering if anyone else on here has had similar problems in the past.

Sorry to hear about this. Can you clarify a couple of things?

I'm a bit confused when you write that the check "cleared" but then bounced almost two weeks later. Are you sure that it cleared on Feb 18 and was not still processing during that time? If that is the case, and the check did in fact clear, then you losing the funds would be a reversal of funds, not a check bouncing. After some research on the matter, the general consensus seems to be:

"Once a check has *cleared*, that means that the receiving bank has obtained their money from the paying bank, and the check can no longer bounce.

Where a lot of people get confused is that banks usually make funds available from checks before the check has actually cleared. You see the money in your account, think "Oh good, it's cleared." and then get a shock a few days later when it bounces."

It very well could have cleared and then been reversed almost two weeks later, but that isn't the check bouncing. I just want to make sure there's no confusion there - it either was processing then bounced, or it cleared and then was reversed; it can't clear and then bounce. I'm not trying to be technical when it comes to your terminology, I just think it may help others help you if everyone is on the same page.

The time period you're describing from when you deposited the check and when the check bounced sounds similar to the time period a handful of US banks take to process international checks. Thus, I'm guessing that the funds were made available to you while the check was processing but it never actually processed and it did in fact bounce (which would coincide with other stories I've been reading about their checks *bouncing* - I've yet to read any about funds reversals). If you are positive that the check did in fact "bounce", then it never cleared in the first place. Which means you shouldn't have spent the funds yet and thus would not be in this overdraft predicament.

There's actually a thread on the front page of /r/poker right now with someone describing a similar situation. Their check from Bovada *bounced* (never cleared in the first place) and they were charged a $20 fee from their bank. Bovada refunded him the amount of the check and added $20 to it.

I deposited my first check from Bovada yesterday and today the funds have *cleared*. Which means the only way the money will be taken from me is in the event of a reversal (depending on the bank, can happen within 90 days of the check clearing) - the check can no longer bounce.

I have been on the phone to customer service for a while now. They informed me "it is an isolated incident" and that it was indeed a reversed transaction. My bank became very suspect once they looked at the check to see the account was now closed. They looked at my current check and said the numbers didn't quite match up. I was also informed that if I do not clear the overdraft they will report me to not just credit agencies but the law too. At that point I didn't want to say much more and walked out.

Customer service wasn't very helpful and informed me I was unable to change payout methods as I haven't deposited in the last 6 months. Seems like a punishment for being a profitable player. I'm not looking for sympathy just putting my story out there and trying to get any advice.

Check Requested: 2/21
Approved: 2/21

Still not received. I received the shipment tracking number on 3/1, however I called the shipping company twice and both times they told me a "label" (with address, shipping info, etc.) was made, but they never received the actual shipment from the sender. Both times I was told to check with the sender to make sure the shipment was actually sent.

I e-mailed Bovada support twice about this but they keep just say the shipment shows as "in transit".

Ha. I wish I was in the bank so I could have a reason to throw a shyt fit.

Listen man, you did nothing wrong and you broke zero laws. You got paid a check for a service and are depositing.

You shoulda said, "No I will call the police for you." Poker is super legal. Hire an attorney if you don't believe me.

Has anybody deposited two checks at the same time? Not sure if this would seem sketch or not. Both checks are from the same bank. Also, my bank is a considerable distance away...I can mail the check to the "special depositing" portion of the bank. I asked if they could do something because I can't use the digital deposit option obv. being international checks. Opinions on this? Thanks for input/advice.

requested 3/7
approved 3/9
recieved ?

Will update when it gets here

Wire Requested: 2/29

Again this is my first wire although my info was verified and approved months ago. I am now on tenth day since request and money is still in my account and all I can get out of support is: "It's still under review and we apologize".

Has anyone else dealt with this kind of thing before and if so how did you resolve it?

First time withdrawal after depositing a couple months ago. Requested courier check and they tried to hit me with a $50 fee and I emailed them asking if they would waive it since it's my first withdrawal and they did. Overall a pretty painless process

Requested - 3/3
Approved - 3/4
Received/Cashed - 3/7

Usually it doesn't take that long for them to take out the money but it could be that this is your first wire payout. There isn't much you could do at this point. I would probably wait like a week more and contact them again if the problem hasn't been resolved by then.
