As far as I can remember Bovada issues checks from a Canadian bank- at least that's how it was a few years ago.
Not every US bank has the same policy on how long it takes for them to clear international checks...for some it might take a week for others 21 days. The reason why people say to deposit checks through an ATM machine, is to avoid answering bank teller's questions about the origin of the check. I personally don't have a problem with that, but most people do.

Now as far as the payment goes, get a check if a payout over 1K...for anything less, get a Person to Person money transfer. It will save you a lot of time and you don't have to go through the bank to get your cash.

Also if you have a long standing relationship with a Credit Union, go there first. Their clearing time is usually less than you'd normally see at a bigger bank.

good luck

tell them you do some computer work for a Canadian company and that's how you get paid

**yankees10** · 08-21-14, 04:23 PM

ok lol now one more ? on the money transfer part it says that the majority of funds in my account balance must be generated via money transfer deposits to be eligible for this method so suppose i deposited say $100 via a prepaid *********** and i won a $1000 could i still do a money transfer ?

That you would have to double check with them.
you might get a check regardless of the amount, because it would be your first withdrawal.

Call them up and just ask...they should be able to easily answer this type of questions

**yankees10** · 08-21-14, 04:34 PM

Ok thx for your help

**thunderous** · 08-21-14, 05:18 PM

Can't you cash the check at a check cashing place? Just asking because I have no experience with offshore....maybe Russian or someone else could answer.

not an international check Thunder, as they have to call the bank to verify the funds

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 08-21-14, 05:32 PM

been in your exact same shoes before OP. bovada cash out and my bank i used was the one in walmart. ive always done cashout by check. just deposit the check into your savings and wait. it usually takes a little bit for them to do a currency convert b/c the check will be coming from an international bank. dont bother the bank about when the funds from the check will be available. it makes them suspicious. just check your statements and when the check shows up on your account, withdraw.

**Dollars2Donuts** · 08-21-14, 05:36 PM

I do miss the payouts from Bodog here in Canada....I would cash out and two or three days later I would have a beautiful cheque in my mailbox....boom, into the bank and automatic cash.

I hated their lines though....

**yankees10** · 08-21-14, 05:39 PM

Are there any other books I could use that would be easier to get payouts or are they all the same ?

**Russian Rocket** · 08-21-14, 05:45 PM

try 5Dimes...that's the best option right now for US based crowd

some might also add Bookmaker to this list

**yankees10** · 08-21-14, 05:46 PM

Ok thx guys that was a big help

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 08-21-14, 05:53 PM

if your in the US any offshore is going to make you go through some inconvenient hurdles. its what we get for believing this is the land of the free.

**yankees10** · 08-21-14, 06:06 PM

Ok so you saying just deposit and wait guess I'll try that

**Russian Rocket** · 08-21-14, 06:08 PM

never deposit and wait

always read the fine print and all the rules before you send your money to anyone

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 08-21-14, 06:09 PM

no russianrocket he is saying deposit into his saving account not an offshore.

oh my bad
I say call your bank and ask how long their clearing period is for international checks....that's a normal question to ask...don't be afraid guys

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 08-21-14, 06:16 PM

ya there is nothing wrong with calling and asking, but the first time i withdrew from bodog i kept going up to the bank like every 2-3 days to see if the check cleared. didnt know it was supposed to take a little bit. thought bodog was scamming me. after checking in on it a few times they started to ask questions.

gotcha

yeah that would definitely look suspicious if you'd start checking with them every 2-3 days
I generally just ask them for a printout that has the exact clearing date listed

**yankees10** · 08-21-14, 06:23 PM

Ok I can check my account with online banking so I shouldn't have to be asking them about it

**Russian Rocket** · 08-21-14, 06:24 PM

yeah you could certainly do that

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 08-21-14, 06:32 PM

yep thats what i do now yankees. if for some reason they do ask you what its for. DO NOT say online gambling. DO NOT mention the name bovada.

**yankees10** · 08-21-14, 06:33 PM

Ok now the hard part actually winning enough to make a withdrawal lol

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 08-21-14, 06:35 PM

lol yep. have you gone through the verification steps yet?

**yankees10** · 08-21-14, 06:43 PM

Not sure what you mean

**ItsMeMrMattE** · 08-21-14, 06:53 PM

alright i would go ahead and get that out of the way if i were you. in order to get a payout they are going to require you to verify your identity by faxing in a copy of your CC and some personal information. the first time i requested a payout i had no idea about it either. was pissed when i found out i wasnt going to get my check until i sent in the info, which led to me putting the verification process off, and eventually i went through what i had built up.

**yankees10** · 08-21-14, 06:56 PM

Oh lord my cc is a prepaid card doesn't have my name on it will that matter

5d and Bm pay out the same way. Deposit the check and wait 3 weeks.
