    Bovada has went super sketch!!!

    I won $1,550 bucks on a $15 bet. They sent me the check which was drawn on a canadian trust and none of my banks or national banks here would accept it. Which is what their suggestion was after my credit union called at week after I deposited it saying they couldn't cash it. First they told me don't write anything on the check then they told me to write void across the back of the check and send them a picture. I called they said it's a 24 to 48 hours to process, 2 days later I called and they said that I needed a to send a image of the front of the check with void written on it, I did it. This whole process started on the 20th of March. this morning I got another email saying they needed another check image with void written across the front of it. Do Not Patronize

    Small local banks will not accept the check due to the costs of retrieving the money that they cannot in turn charge to you. You go to BkofAma or another large bank, it will get accepted and cash in your account next day. If you don't want checks, start requesting bitcoin.

    Been paid over 25k from them with 0 hassle. I'm guessing you're not very bright which is why you dont use bitcoin like literally every other gambler alive

    Ah guess times have changed. Last time I had one, 3-4 years ago, was a check from bank of montreal, a top Canadian bank and was surprised when BkofAma added funds next day.

    Capital one, the bank that was on campus in college, would charge me a strange processing fee that varied anywhere from $5 to $10 like $7.76, strange. Took 3-4 weeks with them but never an issue with the funds clearing.

    Never understood why they try telling you its fake, had that happen once too. Process the check, if it bounces, charge me the $35 fee. Its not like your bank is at risk at all since the funds are not added right away.

    I get checks all the time from Bodog/Bovada and they are usually from RBC. RBC is not a small bank and has US branches and affiliates. The issue is with your Credit Union, not with Bovada. C'mon.

    B of A would NOT accept it. They have had MORE than enough time to reimburse my account so I could do bitcoin transfer, yet nothing.

    I will do bitcoin for now on but send a doable check. EFT works too.

    I also use EFT and it is reliable. Limit is $4k a week so sometimes you have to break up withdrawals but you still get it.

    I won 3 years ago and had no problem with the deposit. I don't know why this time went awry.
