How easy is it to cash out on bovada poker for United States players. While talking to people during game play I've heard many different answers. Some say they have no problem cashing there checks and others say the bank tells them the check is fake and they can't cash it. Why would this be? Which brings me to the question of is bovada really legal in the states and if so will the bank accept the check? Has anyone ever had this issue and if so were you able to get it resolved and how? Also are there any other sites that are legal in the USA? If so are they worth playing and how do they compare to bovada? Thanks for the help,
Cory

If you don't mind asking do you think which state you lives in matters? I'm from Indiana I don't know if that will matter or not. Also were you able to just cash your check or did you have to deposit it and wait for it to clear? If so how long did it take to clear?

i cash all the time on bovada. the check is a bit strange looking but just deposit it. dont look at the teller like you are a bank robber or anything and theyll cash it. you dont have to tell them what its from. just hand it to them and ask when the check will clear. theyll probably say 5 business days. last cash out was on a thursday. recieved check next thursday and it cleared the following thursday..a 2 week process

bovada check for us resident

hi... I just deposited my bovada check to a us bank . . . via the atm but I don't expect a problem partly because the check is drawn on a bank of america account . . . I think... it's a little strange because there is a mention of Singapore on the check as well ... which wouldn't make it bad, just might mean the bank will wait a few days for it to clear . .

Bovada

I live in NY and still can fund and cashout from my Bovada account. I have recently talked to Bovada and Carbon poker which i have open accounts with. They told be that they are continuing to honor the accounts they have left open, even though there is a NY state restriction which is limited to new account registrations.

I've never had any issues at all with bovada and the cashier. They have always been helpful and if you're from the U.S. you can have:

1 Free Check by courier per calender month ($50 for checks after the 1st)
Bank Wire
Money Transfer
Rapid Transfer
- Fees will apply depending on the amount of the cashout

I do use WU/MG for cashing out whenever possible. It is my favorite method of withdrawing funds. Go in to walmart once u get the email with the tracking number in it... go to the lady or dude and say i wants my moolah. I actually think you may even be able to do it all online as i just recently made a WU account and was seeing i can actually send money via online and have be able for pick up via courier in whatever country it is sent to, and that is how they require it to be sent. Not sure what the online capabilities are I usually just take my butt to walmart and do it seeing im like 100 yards away from it....

For NY accounts , from what I gathered from my chat with support is that only existing accounts will be honored and maybe even only long time accounts. Ive had my account from way back when it was bodog and have played so much cash tables they preserved my existence :) I think all existing NY players but could be wrong. Bovada support even though they use the prehistoric method is still really fast if you can handle 12-24 sometimes less wait time :)

I have heard from others the check is a little strange looking. its from outside us, bangladesh, or north canada. But they say just deposit it and you'll probably be fine. I don't have a bank account, and others said it would look strange if i opened an account with that check, lol. so when the time comes i will use WU. Granted its very expensive, but others who have used it had no problem whatsoever, and got money really fast. good luck!

is there a better way?? sounds like WU will be taking most of my pay out.
No idea about your situation with the address... pretty sure your name and addy must match to cash the WU note as well.

A check is free but you still have the addy issue and it'll take 1-2 months for the check to clear (your bank has to send it to their international rep who has to send it to the international rep of the country in question who has to send it to the bank in question who has to cash the check and send back to their international rep who has to send it to the US international rep who has to send it back to your bank before the funds are cleared for you to use)

I was able to deposit a Bovada cashout check from UOB in Singapore at my bank's atm last Friday, and the money is available for me today.

This is their written policy:

"We do not accept foreign checks or foreign currency at the ATMs at this time. You may visit a banking center to exchange the foreign currency for U.S. Dollars, then make your deposit. For more information about depositing foreign checks, visit your local banking center."

My bank's name was listed on the check, and it was in US Dollars. The only problem I had was the atm had trouble reading the amount, so I had to enter it manually.

I got a canadian check that I had to drop off at a branch that had to mail it to their headquarters to be deposited. Took longer to deposit the check and get the funds then it did just to get the check, but no real problems.

Funny you guys, I had my mom deposit my check into my account. No problems whatsoever. It was about a 1 week process from cashout to payday. 300$ playing craps. Not poker related, but still don't recommend playing in casinos online. Something just doesn't smell right.
