    check"on hold" at my bank (from reputable bank)

    theys said will have more info tomorrow morning by 7am. is it possible my bank has me flagged and thats why? i have sent many wires to books over the last month. or is it m ore likely there are just insuffiecent funds and it will bounce? i have never had that happene before but i guess thats what im hoping for.

    I made the mistake of depositing 4 checks from the same processor at the same time earlier this month and 3 of them were sent back as "counterfeit". I guess the 3K every 7 days rule exists for a reason.

    not at all unusual in my experience for a cheque drawn on an overseas bank to be subject to 30 days clearance

    i don't think that's the reason, i deposited 20k worth of sia checks after they booted me and send me all my payments at once on 3k checks, my bank credited them the next day

    it's bank/player/processor/location dependent, i would say esp relationship dependent, if bank views you as a valuable customer, they will try not to marr any relationships

    bank told me check has been mailed back to me. what an annoyance(at best). this is going to cost me time for sure. i hope not money too.

    mods- should i mention the name of the book or just wait untill there is an end to this first?

    I've had the bank tell me I couldn't take the check as cash...And that I had to deposit it.

    I have 2 banks with seperate checking accounts, and the 1 back I only had 1500 in the account, and they said I can only cash a check for what I have in the account. So then I just deposited it all into the checking and went back the next day to cash some out.

    Could that of been your problem? were you cashing the check or depositing it?

    What book was it. It's not going to hurt anything if you say it. The book won't know who you are and you didn't say anything wrong about them, you just said you couldn't cash your check.

    But you should definately say what book it was, because that may keep some of us from joining them.

    I am dealing with 3 separate books on this same issue right now. It will be a full month since the original deposit date before you see the funds, assuming you stay on top of things.

    this is another reason to use goldp, you don't need to worry about checks being put on hold , get 3k in ** another 3k in **, downside is the fees, but i would rather have my cash

    Now I'm confused.


    Before Bodog sent me my first payout they needed me to send them the credit card I used and a copy of my license.

    You didn't send that info to them first? and they sent you the check, but for some reason they sent you a check that was on hold?

    Has this issue been resolved yet? If not, please PM me your account information, and assuming you're located in the US, I'll ask the head of bodog.com finance to look into this for you. (If you're not located in the US please let me know where and I'll contact the appropriate bodog brand licensee on your behalf).

    Thanks,
    Becky

    I have had a couple of issues with checks, not from bodog, but a couple of other places. Mainly they were just frustrating hassles that finally got worked out.

    I hope this all works out for ya.

    I will say it is nice to have Bodog Becky here to help put people in contact with the right person.

    but the best way to deal with your bank is if they have an atm that u can deposit your checks,do it that way cause u dont have any of that hassle.

    That's what I've been thinking about doing lately. Having a 3K check from some weird place always feels a little awkward going in the bank.

    Do you do this at chase? and does it take a couple days for it to hit your account? Do you actually stick your check in the machine, or does it just scan it? I've never used it before.

    yes gates. i use BkofAma and the atm deposit is great. there is a slot to stick check in. reads the check and prints you out a receipt with a picture of the check. i never go to teller with SB checks.

    I guess it just comes down to your relationship with the bank. Depositing via ATM sounds great for those people a little nervous of the whole concept of depositing checks. Personally, because I am in a small town, the teller will call the agent listed on the check to confirm funds and then the money will be available the next day. Not that I really need this to be done, but it helps to develop more of a personal relationship with the bank employees.

    Although, I do like the sound of the ATM automated process, unfortunately I feel the relationship is more important. Of course, this is just my personal opinion.

    BoL,

    This is one of the many reasons why I think bank wires are just better than checks. They are faster and more secure.

    but there is one thing better on checks is that when ur bookie send u one u get a fedex tracking number and u know it was sent, u can never know if a wire was sent or not, a book can tell u we wired and ur bank tell u we received nothing.
