An offshore sportsbook I am about to withdraw from will send a courier check for a flat fee to the USA, up to the amount of $9900.
I plan to deposit it into my bank account.
The most economical way to do the withdrawal would be to request the maximum amount of $9900.
Is there any reason not to do this and to request a lesser sum?
Specifically, has anyone had their bank based in the USA give them a hard time over checks of certain amounts but not given a problem when the check is smaller?
(As mentioned, I plan to deposit it and am not too concerned over how long a hold they put on the check, within reason. 7-10 day hold is acceptable to me).
