Went to vegas few weeks ago placed a few bets that occurred when I left. Sent in my tickets and they send me a check for my winnings.. My question is, anyone ever do this? How long till I receive my mail pay check?

Ive heard stories better not mentioned.
Goodluck getting your winnings sir.Comment -
Wait what? Why wouldn't I get my winnings? It's from flamingo not some Rinky dink casino.Comment -
Depends on the casino some very fast could have in a few weeks. Others very slow could take a couple months.
Did you send it registered so you have proof they received it ?Comment -
I was hoping I'd have in a week after a few days of having it go thru the mail. I just sent it regular mail where it would take 2-3 days to get there. So in reality I would have no clue if it got there or not, just assuming it did.Comment -
You'll get paid.....I'm sure you made copies of your receipts.
Sorry.....I meant goodluck getting your winnings in a timely manner.
I heard a buddy of mine waited 3 months.....I cant remember the book though.Comment -
Yeah I was hoping they were fast on payout. I even wrote on the tickets "moving in mid July if possible you could issue check and send back ASAP please, thank you!"Comment -
I wouldn't do it for large amounts. I'm sure someone you trust either lives there or will be going there some time soon, safer to do it that way. Did you use a players card when you made the bet? I know at certain casinos, they can track the wager in case you lose the ticket, but it is a long process to claim it if lost. Hopefully they get it and you get paid without any problems.

Well I figured id just send in instead of holding onto ticket, and waiting. Yes I always use a players card. Flamingo is a top establishment, I don't see any problems occurring as opposed to if it was a Rinky dink whole in wall book in Podunkville Nevada.Comment -
I didnt even realize Flamingo had a casino. I stayed there once, and didn't even see the bookComment -
The book is decent. It's right in front of the hotel check in front desk.Comment -
took 6 weeks for meComment -
What book?Originally posted by unluckysobComment -
Make sure you send it Certified, and you should be fine.Comment -
Why certified? What's the difference?Originally posted by HoulihansTXComment -
The receiver has to sign who they are, and when they received the mail. Basically ensuring payment, which would not be a problem anyway.Originally posted by sportsguy04Comment -
True. Have you ever done a mail pay? If so how long did it take?Originally posted by HoulihansTXComment -
I did it once because I was too lazy to walk back to the casino. Was a joke bet though with my family, they don't know I gamble for big amounts. Ticket was only $200, Mandalay took like 3 weeks I would guess from what I remember.Comment -
Do this every March. Have done it at Harrahs and Mlife properties alike. Always get a check.
Don't worry.Comment -
Chalky-- how Long does it usually take?Comment -
Usually around 3-6 weeks depending on the property, next time send it registered/certified and make a copy of the ticket.Originally posted by sportsguy04Comment -
21/2 weeks for me certified mail. Won a Super Bowl prop betComment -
My buddy mailed in his winning Stanley Cup winner from last year (Bruins) in March 2012 and had his check 5 weeks later. (He's in Canada) It was from Cantors sportsbook.Comment -
Sorry buddy, I forgot about this thread.
Quickest ever was maybe a week and a half, I am sure it didn't take 2 weeks. That was at the Gold Coast, all tickets were there.
Longest was Monte Carlo, well over a month. Only had a few tickets. I was stupid that time, and had multiple bets at multiple areas.
Certified mail is all I have ever done, and have to take picture/xerox of tickets for proof.
Flamingo is respectable, I am sure they will pay if you didn't protect yourself with the above method.
I don't have any history with mailing in to the flamingo book.Comment -
I stayed at the Rivera and mailed my Kentucky ticket in a few weeks after they won. I didn't photo copy or send certified, I included the self addressed, stamped envelope for the return. Took about 2 weeks and I got it back. No issuesComment -
Thanks all. Yeah honestly I'm not worried about not being paid by not doing certified mail or makin copies of the tickets. Figured my players card history is always a back up plan just in case. Hoping I get it in a week and half 2 at most.Comment -
done this three times ,never longer than ten days.
