I recently made my first withdrawal, but I requested it be sent to me via check. I cashed out on Monday, and received my check the following Saturday. I was a little afraid I would have a problem cashing the check, but on Monday cashed it just fine.
I am getting ready to cash out again on Monday, hopefully my experience will be just as easy as the first time.
Two things;
1. Sadly funds not received yet, but have been in communication with PokerStars
who have generously compensated my online account. They said that this particular
batch of problems started on April 15th and is now being resolved. Players should start
seeing funds around Tuesday May 13th and their obviously clearing the oldest transactions first.
Now another 5-10 business day wait.
2. This is for those of you that I think were smarter and cashed out via paper check.
I’ve heard conflicting stories that PokerStars paper checks are international checks
and US players are charged a fee for cashing and depositing them.
I’ve heard that other US players received checks drawn on US banks.
Can any US players please comment on if they’ve received a US check or not.
I cashout each month from
bodog and my first check is free and sent FedEx. Their checks are drawn on a US bank btw.
