    Does the bank ask questions?
    When you get a cashiers check from a sportsbook does the bank or feds ever ask where the money came from? I was wondering how the withdrawels worked when you get to the bank to deposit them. Has anyone had problems?

        When you walk into the bank with a check from a sportsbook, immediately 27 FBI agents and 3 US marshals come running in the door, tackle you, and cart you off to jail.

            You really think the 17 year old teller making $6.75/hr. is gooing to do anything other than run the deposit slip through the machine.

              This is funny, because I have actually asked this question before. So there is no amount that they are required to at least question somewhat? I agree though, I don't think we have much to worry about nor has it ever stopped me from cashing a check. Just funny because I have though the same thing.

                  it just depends on the financial institution. I have my my wife take mine to the credit union she works at and other times I've cashed them at my local bank with no issues whatsoever. They have check validating companies contracted so they know whether or not a check is from a valid account right away. Some banks take their homeland security duties to the extreme and let the little authority they have get to their head. In a case like that, take the check back and go somewhere else.

                    I think you are correct with the 10K limit but I put 18K in and never was questioned.

                      if you're so worried about getting questioned, deposit the check through the manual deposit door outside the bank (if they have one), or if not, just do it through an ATM machine. they are less likely to call you and ask you about it.

                        There is no such thing as a "limit" on checks, $10,000 or otherwise.

                            The $10,000 limit people seem to "know" about applies to CURRENCY transactions. Checks and wires are not CURRENCY. The green pieces of paper in your wallet with pictures of Presidents are CURRENCY. There is more information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currenc...saction_report

                                Any check over $10,000 that is not a payroll check gets reported. The bank has a form 5679????? or something like that that gets sent to the Nazi's, er, the IRS.

                                    It's none of their business. It they ask, tell them to **** off and mind their own business.
