intertops cashout will send you a canadian check, your bank will charge you another 25 dollars for collection, your actual cashout is going to cost you 75 dollars. In the past tops has reimbursed the 25 dollars, but no longer. Just letting u know...the already outrageous charges are even more, not happy intertops!

This obviously varies by bank. Try a different, large, multinational bank for best results.

Intertops does charge $50 for a check (up to 3k max). They also pay out in 5 business days flat. Far and away the best of any US facing site.

Insofar as Revolution goes you could always go to Lock and wait 3+ months for a check... or juicy stakes where the wait is 5months :)


Also FWIW, Merge checks, Bovada Checks, and WPN checks are mostly from canada as well...

After I ranted to Intertops support, they say I am the only person to complain. Maybe its my bank(credit union), dunno as I did not shop the check around.
Perhaps my bank is scrooin me and my anger is misplaced. Yes they do get u the check very quickly, and you eventually get your money, just wanted to give ya a HU about the possibility of collection fees.
GL!

Very few credit unions have international business departments. Thus they have to farm out international checks to other institutions, hence (higher) fees.

Again, try a large, multinational bank for better results...

Bank Of America has never charged me a fee... Like everyone says, you get your check in 5 days flat (One time I got it in 4 days!), but I hate the $50 fee so I play on Bovada now... they give you one free check a month ($20 min cash-out) and usually get the funds in 7 - 10 days. All checks I have received are from Canada (Bovada, Intertops, Black Chip Poker, Hero Poker, etc). The only place I have never got a check from is the America's Card Room and like skins.

So it is all dependent on your bank. That would make my blood boil if I had to pay a $25 fee on top of the $50 fee that you pay already... $50 is bad enough let alone $75!

So my advice: go open up a Bank of America Free Checking account. Problem solved.

Moe. :cool:

i have been reading about players not getting there money at all from this network and skins.
i have taken them all off.
i will not play on any of these sites.
the min. dep. of 50 bucks is to high.
the look and feel is bad.
i dont like the software they are using.
looks to fake.

Not sure the last time you got a check from Tops. My bank didnt use to charge for Canadian checks this is something new last several months. Think has something to do with exchange rate.

To bad CC has lot of nice games on Juicy and Lock. Not sure what skin your talking about that isn't paying. Juicy pays but takes a long time. Tops is fast but they charge. Not sure bout Lock. The deposit for Lock was 25 not sure what the others are. Haven't deposited in long time.

Well, your opinion is dwarfed by the thousands of US players who play at Intertops and are paid out in 5 business days flat. It's certainly not fake.
