Recently have withdrawn two checks from bodog in the previous two months.

One was 150 and the other was 200.

When the checks come they had extra cents. Ie 150.56 and 200.83 or something like that

Not complaing at all just think its interesting anyone else know why this is. I'm guessing everyone thats withdrawn has noticed this haven't seen any posts though.

That's interesting, I have never withdrawn from Bodog, but the only thing I can think of is maybe that it is treated like interest or something. Only it wouldn't be the same for each check. The $150 one would have .37% and the $200 one has .415%

its standard practice
i think its to throw the banks off in the us
- i ve often thought of cashing out less money on a regular basis to get some extra pennies

Yeah i dont rember the exact on the $150 just looked at the 200 that i got yesterday and it is 200.86 so .43% i guess.

Probably will withdraw again next month then at least i will see if its consistant. Oh well no complaints. Gotta love making money even if i'm not getting rich off it.

I noticed when I deposit with a CC sometimes it wil be like $29.99 instead of 30$, or $49.98 insted of $50. It also always says something wierd like puppies.com or flowersgalore.com, forget the exact names.. but something like that. I think it's probably for the reason pfb8888 stated, only thing can think of.

Yes I believe you're correct here. I know when I've made deposits to sites in the past via credit card, the poker sites advised me to make my deposit an uneven amount, mentioning that even amounts are often blocked from going through as a way of countering depositing to online gaming sites.

Makes sense i guess if it is to throw off the banks. Didnt really think of that i guess, but very logical.
