Do you think there are only a handful of credible gaming providers dealing with the worlds largest market for a reason?
I've been getting money from offshore gaming companies since 1999. I got paid through PayPal, even had a PayPal **** card, my money was available in hours, then they got indicted and that was the end of that. Then there was Neteller, easy to transfer money to and from everywhere, and your money deposited in your bank account via *************** in 2 days. Then, indicted, and gone. Bank wires from PokerStars in 2 days, then gone. Checks from American Processors in 3 days, then indictments and seizures.
Keeping large amounts in American banks under hidden shell companies is just too risky for these places anymore. Yes, there are a few who can still get you checks in a few days. If thats important to you, then only play there.
If your getting checks from Bovada, then figure a month to get your check, and that check has a 15% chance of being no good. If the check is bad, they'll issue you another one. If you want it faster, than P2P and pay for the speed.
Your government considers this illegal commerce, so if you are going to partake in such commerce, you must have certain realizations and expectations. If you were buying a bag of weed, would you expect a receipt?
