    Bovada Payouts

    Couple of questions here if you guys don't mind. Hopefully this is the correct sub-forum to post in.

    Currently caking it up on Bovada. Never made a withdraw from them, but I've heard it takes a good while to receive the check. Not worried about that.

    Has anyone ever had trouble depositing a check from them? i.e., Will my bank accept the check w/o any issues?

    Hoping someone can help me out here, as I would love to actually use my winnings and not just look at the number.

    Why risk a check bouncing?

    always a last resort imo, but to each his own. Ill lay a extra few bucks to have my $ in hrs or a few days without worry

    My buddy plays at bovada. They have never stiffed him but according to him its always a headache and pay takes long. I know there's not a lot of options but there's better ones then bovada. On his last payout it took about a month he said but the check bounced. They fixed the matter but that took another month. Never good when checks are bouncing.

    It took me 4 months to get a check once and I will never do it again. 5dimes is the best with pay outs in my opinion. Currently though I use Bookmaker, 5dimes and Youwager but recently it's been youwager.

    I'm seeing mixed reviews. Payout depending on amount, time of year. Payout always seem to come through though...

    You should be fine. Sometimes banks will send it out to collections... If your bank says that... I would first try the ATM, it might take it and if not use a different bank.

    They've given a bounced check previously, but that's pretty rare.

    Usually you deposit and the next day it's cleared.

    GL and also Bovada has been a pretty good company. If for some reason you did get one that was no good.... They would reimburse you.



    The only strange thing is that recently they'll tell me that I didn't opt in to promotions and it's getting a little rediculous. I'll complete it, but not get the reward. It does give me an alert that they're not as professional as I thought, but they're still a pretty good.

    I've taken 1 check a month from them for several years. I deposit through ATM with no problems. I have had 1 check bounce in that time, Bovada issued me a new check and paid me out the fees that the bank charged me.

    I just requested a check withdrawal and received it fedex less than 5 days later. I have not yet deposited it.
