Canadian Checks From Bovada

[WillieMcFML]

Been playing on Bovada lately, first check I got from them only took 4 days and I was able to cash it no questions asked.

Second check took about a week and now the bank is telling me they can't cash it, they have to send it off to the canadian bank "for collections" and this costs me almost $70. I already took a $50 hit from bovada for requesting a second check this month so I really don't want to pay the bank any additional rake.

How can I get around this? Any suggestions from other 'mericans that have successfully cashed checks from bovada would be appreciated.

Send it to TMMLK to cash for you.

I take my checks to a shady check cashing place, ive never had a problem.
Since you already used your once a month freebie why not use Western Union?

Lotta places won't cash checks drawn on foreign banks out of policy.

USE ATM

[Corrigan]

ATM wont read a lot of bodog checks from the north (gap in the routing #). They will read the ones from the far east.

If you deposited/cashed the checks within a week or 2 of each other at the same bank, this could be the problem. Some big banks will float trusted customers $5k worth of int'l checks before they clear. but if you try to deposit two different $3k checks one after the other, and the first one hasn't cleared yet (which can take 1-2 weeks on int'l checks) you will go over the $5k limit ($6k>$5k). Then they will not float you for the 2nd check and instead send it to collections which takes like 3-4 weeks and a fee and is a real pain in the ass.

That happened to me once, and since then I have been alternating banks depositing int'l checks so that I dont have any uncleared int'l checks in my account when I try to deposit.

Get a different bank

This is terrible advice

[ShadyJ]

The recent checks are coming from Canada instead of overseas, but I've been able to cash both with no problems. The only thing I did see was my bank didnt even put it in my acct as unavailable until it cleared, but the most recent one from Canada they did put it in right away.

I haven't had a problem but Bovada has had bad batches of checks in the past so I would first contact them especially if your being charged a fee to tell them this and request you are credited that back. If the check can't be issued you want a refund to your account and a new check issued.

WU fee is higher so if it's $800 or less see if you can get Money Gram withdraw but you probably can't unless you deposited once with that option before within the past 6 months.

You have to deposit with Money Gram to withdraw with it.

Yeah this.

As someone who has worked in or around banking I can tell you one thing. Anytime you actually need to go face to face with someone the chance of there being a rule for them not to help you goes up by a factor of 100. They got so many rules and regs on employees so they wont fuck over the bank or break some sort of governmental rule. With an ATM or an App banks are willing to put up with more shit because it's a fixed cost and they realize even though some shit may go bad they aint paying someone $15-$20 an hour to sit there and scrutinize every transaction.

something is going on. I was originally was with Victory poker, then it became something else....and so on. It eventually wound up on "Juicey Stakes". Though I didn't care much as I play just recreationally, I wasa winner at low stakes and have accumulated a few hundred $'s on it. Recently I get this email--this coupled with significantly reduced tournament offerings:

First problem: Tell your bank they are cheques from Canada.
